On Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 12:20 AM EST Derrick sent this in: I was just letting you guys know that during the 'Happy Trails' segment of the ESPN show Pardon the Interruption, the hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon talked for a little bit about the passing of The Fabulous Moolah. For once, they had nothing but good things to say about something that was wrestling-related. Both guys talked about how they had watched her as kids and things like that. It was a fitting tribute, in this man's opinion.

Funk's Corner - Moolah was Fabulous
In the summer of '85 in San Juan Puerto Rico in a sold out Hiram Bithorn Stadium, (20,000 People) Marti and I were facing Carlos Colon and The Fabulous Moolah in a Mixed Tag Team Street Fight anything goes. It was Marti's first ever experience in the ring.
"I was scared to death but found that Moolah was one of the nicest people I have ever known. She was a real giving person. She wanted to please people and she made me look good inspite of my inexperience. Thanks to Moolah it was one of my most memorable experiences in my life and pro wrestling. My condolences to all the wrestling fans that loved to watch her and to her friends and family."
