Wendi Richter – 'Vince McMahon Did Me A Favor With Original Screwjob'
03/28/2025 10:57 AM
During a recent appearance on the “Ring The Belle” podcast, Wendi Richter referred to The Fabulous Moolah's win over her as the Original Screwjob.
Richter feels that Vince McMahon inadvertently did her a favor through this incident.
In 1985, Moolah defeated Richter in an unscripted moment orchestrated by McMahon to transfer the WWF Women's Championship to her.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the public interest in the moment: "You know, it just never has gone away. I'm over it. After that happened, I got saved — I'm a born-again Christian, and I started going to college. So, Vince actually did me a favor because I have a master's degree now. No one can take that away from me. But life isn't fair, and you've got to move on."
On being angry about it at the time: "I was so personally hurt by that because my shoulders weren't pinned, I kicked out, and they just [counted to three] with my shoulders off the mat, and that was that. If that hadn't happened, I'd probably still be with WWE, like Moolah did, you know, for decades."
