Mae Young
Seen as one of the first female wrestlers and a pioneer of the sport in general, Mae Young started wrestling in 1939. She worked with the WWE from 1999 to 2000, starting at the age of 76. From 2002 to 2013, she continued to make sporadic appearances, always game for outrageous stunts. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and moved into a house in South Carolina with two other female wrestlers until her death in 2014. The Mae Young Classic, a tournament of female wrestlers, is named after her.
