490:"Subsequently, Byers came out of retirement to challenge Moolah to a match for the title, which Moolah retained." Can you "beef" this up a bit with some juicy details or stretch it out a bit: "It was a hard fought match, but in the end, Moolah was victorious and retained the title." Keep it encyclopedic but provide some more details if possible. Stretch it out.

In the Early career section we have "to sleep with". I'm wondering if this phrase is strictly an
American euphemism? Could we be more explicit and definitive for non-Americans that may not understand the phrase? For example, "to enter sexual relationships with" or something similar? I've returned

Two different people. She managed Rogers early in her career. She married Lee awhile later. They either looked or acted similarly (I'm not too clear on it), which is why they were both given the nickname "Nature Boy". It's confusing, so I just removed the nickname from Buddy Lee's name to help

This section could be enhanced greatly with some direct quotes from Moolah's autobiography --- especially regarding her first trip to the wrestling matches with her father. How did they impress her? Was she fascinated or nonplussed? Did she then wrestle with her brothers or other children?
1046:
There's a couple've sentences in the part about training and promoting mentioning 'Mad Maxine', sourced to rspwfaq.com, a blog. A better source would need to be found if that material is to remain. I will point out, however, that neither the material, its cited reference, nor indeed

Tell us who
Mildred Burke and Nature Boy are in relation to Ellison in the first paragraph of the lead. For example. "...wrestler and trainer Mildred Burke and professional wrestler Nature Boy ...". This will allow the reader to continue to read without resorting to the link.

A statement by the nominator in the original review was: "Not everyone likes to review the wrestling articles, so I try my best to make them interesting and accessible to non-fans." As someone who isn't really a fan of wrestling, I'd like to point out you

I'm ready to pass this article to GA but await any input, questions, feedback from you before I do so. Good article! I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. I suggest expanding some of the sections, and sending it to peer review with an eye to FA!

The usual book reviewers don't usually review wrestling books, so I couldn't find very much that I would consider credible. I did find some criticism of her book in a SLAM Wrestling article, so I've added that.

I left a message on your talk page awhile ago, but I guess I'll leave one here, too. Thanks for the review...I really appreciate it. What sections, in particular, do you suggest I expand before trying at FA?

I don't understand the second sentence. Why did Wolfe's control of the promotion (of what? the NWA?) prevent her from being recognized? Clarify this sentence a bit for those not familiar with pro wrestling.
97:
One thing to think about immediately: Enhance the article with a picture, poster, or photo of Moolah at the height of her career --- whether posed or a "live action" shot of her in the ring.
281:
She didn't get the name Slave Girl Moolah until later, so I'm assuming she wrestled the first match under her own name. In any event, I think I clarified that the name was given to her later.
580:
Do you mean she physically "flipped football player
Roosevelt Grier" over her shoulder or something? Or does "flip" mean something else in wrestling? I don't understand. Could you clarify.
209:
Not that would add anything, IMO. The only stories are about hunting lizards with one of her brothers or cooking biscuits for her dad...not the sort of thing that is encyclopedic.
251:. I clarified the definition in the sentence: "accompanying him to the ring while providing eye candy for the male audiences and assisting Rogers against his opponents".

I hadn't thought about that before, but it makes sense that a non-American might be confused by that. I changed it to your wording.

The article received a clearly in-depth review, and was nominated by a highly-experienced GA reviewer. I've just a few comments:

No. In her autobiography, she only refers to them as "Ma" and "Pa".
