   I highly recommend The Chronicles of Mad Maxine by Jeannine Mjoseth - based on her real life experiences being trained by (and, like many, exploited by) The Fabulous Moolah while seemingly headed for 1980s WWF stardom (later pulled; replaced in the Rock & Wrestling cartoon by Moolah herself), the book cites her experiences taking work going undercover at a KKK rally to report for a local Black newspaper.

     Also pretty cool is the fact that I contacted Ms Mjoseth to praise her writing - and enquire about merchandise, to which she replied "I'm sadly swag-free but feel free to print out the attached photo." It was this: a snap of three posing "lady wrestlers," Mad Maxine herself in all her glory on the right, what appears to be Luna Vachon in the middle, and who's that on the left? #WomensWrestling #wrestling #ProWrestling #MadMaxine #LunaVachon #WWF #WWE
