Sherri Martel — R.I.P. — 1958-2007

The wrestling world has lost another legend. “Sensational” Sherri Martel passed away today at the age of 49. She has worked as a woman wrestler as well as a female manager in the AWA, NWA, WCW and WWF/WWE. Martel held the AWA and WWF Woman’s Championship. She has managed “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, Harlem Heat (Booker T. & Stevie Ray), Ted DiBiase (a.k.a. – “The Million Dollar Man”), Terry Funk, Shane Douglas and many others. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Ted DiBiase on April 1, 2006. You can read more about her career at SLAM! Sports. From everything I’ve read about her and heard about her in shoot interviews, she was very well like backstage. She truly will be missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family and friends.
