Is The Fabulous Moolah considered the greatest woman wrestler of all time?

Keep in mind that times are different and so are competitors. Imagine if The Fabulous Moolah had competitors such as Trish Stratus or Wendy Richter (the female wrestler who finally took the belt from Moolah in the early 80's) when she was much younger. There is a championship committee that decides who wears the belts and their decisions are based not on talent, but the most probable scenario to sell tickets!
