Sherri Martel

Sherri Martel was a rare talent who excelled as both an in-ring competitor and a manager, and honestly she may have been the greatest female manager the business ever had. As 'Sensational' Sherri she could draw heat with a glare, take a bump to protect her man, and sing Shawn Michaels to the ring with that unforgettable 'Sexy Boy' theme. She was a genuine workhorse in an era when women wrestlers got far too little spotlight. Her 2006 Hall of Fame induction was overdue recognition. Losing her in 2007 at only 49 was a real gut-punch for longtime fans.

Sherri Martel (1958-2007) was an American professional wrestler and manager best known by the ring name 'Sensational' Sherri. She held the AWA World Women's Championship and the WWF Women's Championship before becoming one of the most accomplished managers in wrestling, guiding stars such as Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase and Shawn Michaels. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006 and died in 2007.
