History YMMV / SherriMartel

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After her (far too early) death, her funeral was arranged by Wrestling/BookerT, who had been one of her boys in WCW, with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon paying for her headstone (which he insisted be kept a secret).

* VillainDecay:
** Her first and only ''[=WrestleMania=]'' appearance was in '[=WrestleMania=] VI'' in a mixed tag team match featuring her and Wrestling/RandySavage vs. Wrestling/DustyRhodes and his valet Sapphire. It turned into lame slapstick, with Sherri getting pinned by Sapphire. All well and good, but Sapphire was not a wrestler, while Sherri was a 4x world women's champ, yet she's the one getting her ass handed to her. A famously stupid match; not surprisingly many fans think it should have been a singles match between Randy and Dusty.
** Second verse, same as the first... WCW stuck her in a match with Mongo's non-wrestler wife, Debra Marshall, which she "lost" when Debra botched a briefcase shot. Instead of ricocheting like it's supposed to, it instead hits Debra's tiara and Sherri passes out randomly. Even commentary seemed to find it ludicrous.
--->'''Wrestling/TonySchiavone:''' Oh, for crying out loud!

* GrowingTheBeard: [=80s=] Sherri wasn't great on the mic, but she gained more confidence and charisma when paired with Randy. Both seemed to be playing a game of who could overact the worst.

All well and good, but Sapphire was not a wrestler, while Sherri was a 4x world women's champ, yet she's the one getting her ass handed to her. A famously stupid match; not surprisingly many fans think it should have been a singles match between Macho and Dusty.

* HarsherInHindsight: Her induction. While it was awesome to see Sherri laughing and heckling the crowd like old times (Sensational Sherri: [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Drunk And Loving It]]), a year later, some reporters caught up with her on the autograph circuit and asked her about it. She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ015oWiy6Q confessed]] that she cried before the ceremony because it meant her career was over. She OD'ed not long after that.

All well and good, but Sapphire was not a wrestler. Sherri was a 4x world women's champ, and here she is getting her ass handed to her by a fat disco dancer. A famously stupid match; it really ought to have been a singles match between Macho and Dusty.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Among the awards ''Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter'' issue at the end of every year there are a number of retired ones, including "Manager of the Year" which they awarded from 1983-1996. Sherri winning in 1991 might not ''seem'' like that big a deal, but when you consider that, aside from Wrestling/JimmyHart winning the inaugural one in 1983, Wrestling/JimCornette won it ''every other year,'' her taking the award off him even once basically cements her as one of the greatest managers of all time. She was damn good alright.

--->'''Terry Schiavone''': Oh, for crying out loud!

* HollywoodHomely: Intentional. She was a very attractive woman but as a heel she was derisively nicknamed "Scary Sherri" and intentionally wore unflattering clothing and makeup to accentuate this. Face commentators acting like she was hideous added to this as well.
