Women have played a huge role in the World Wrestling Entertainment since its existence. The company started as Capitol Wrestling Corporation in 1952, and was part of the National Wrestling Alliance. In February of 1980, Vincent K. McMahon purchased Capitol Wrestling Corporation Ltd., and the promotion was then known as World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Before 1980, The Fabulous Moolah dominated women's wrestling in the United States of America. In 1955 she began working at the Capitol Wrestling Corporation under Vince McMahon, Sr. There she would defeat Judy Grable in a 13-women battle royal to win the NWA World Women's Championship. In the years that followed, The Fabulous Moolah battled the likes of Bette Boucher, Yukiko Tomoe, Sue Green and more. In 1983, Vince McMahon bought the rights to the NWA World Women's Championship and NWA Women's World Tag Team Championship. The Fabulous Moolah was then acknowledged as the first WWF Women's Champion.
