6
7	Sherri Schrull, née Russell (February 8, 1958 – June 15, 2007), known by her ring name Sherri Martel, was an American {{professional wrestl\|ing}}er and valet most famous for her work in Wrestling/{{WWE}}.
8
9	She previously wrestled and valeted in the [[Wrestling/AmericanWrestlingAssociation AWA]], where she gained notoriety as a Jezebel who would do anything to win a match. In the WWF, she won the WWF Women's Championship from Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah, was fairly contemporaneous with Wrestling/MissElizabeth, and focused more on valeting after dropping the title. Most famously linked with Wrestling/RandySavage after he [[FaceHeelTurn turned heel]], and also spent time with "The Million Dollar Man" Wrestling/TedDiBiase and Wrestling/ShawnMichaels. (She also originally sang HBK's theme. Well, [[HollywoodToneDeaf sort of.]]) She eventually went to Wrestling/{{WCW}} to work with Wrestling/RicFlair and [[Wrestling/BookerT Harlem Heat]].
10
11	[=DiBiase=] inducted her into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame in 2006, the second woman to receive the honor. She died one year later of a prescription drug overdose.
12
13	No relation to [[Wrestling/RickMartel Rick "The Model" Martel]], even though the two of them were involved in a storyline in the WWF. Neither one's real name is Martel, anyway; they're both stage names.
14
15	!!"A REAL woman's tropes":
16	* EightiesHair: Up until she left for greener pastures at WCW.
17	* ActionDressRip: A few of them, like "Queen" Sherri's beaded sarong, could tear off as needed.
18	* TheArtifact: Of the AWA and WWF women's wrestling divisions. Moolah sold the NWA Women's belt to WWF in the eighties; Sherri was still the AWA Women's Champ when she beat Moolah, making her the first wrestler (man or woman) to hold two main titles from two major companies simultaneously--if you disregard Pat O'Connor being NWA and AWA World Heavyweight Champ.
19	* BastardUnderstudy: Sherri was a student of the Magnificent Moolah, but in the ring, they were competitors. They fought off-and-on in the eighties, before Moolah finally put Sherri over in '87. The Fabulous One wasn't too happy about her streak being broken, so Sherri interrupted her victory run with the Women's Belt to [[OffhandBackhand hit Moolah with it.]]
20	* BerserkButton: Just saying "Hulk Hogan" caused her to spaz out on live TV--most commonly on ''WWF Prime Time'', and later while being [[http://www.wrestlecrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/atoz-07.gif interviewed]] by Arsenio Hall.
21	-->'''R.D. Reynolds''': Apparently Hogan gave Sherri an atomic drop, a body slam, then rammed her head into the ring bell. Before you scoff, Hogan did that kinda thing all the time. And yes, he was a [[{{Face}} babyface]].
22	* BullyingADragon: One of her biggest beatdowns came during a 1991 steel cage match at Madison Square Garden. Sherri repeatedly interfered on Macho Man's behalf, so Warrior responded by grabbing her head through the bars. Sherri ultimately caused Warrior to lose the match and, after stalking her around the cage and shoving aside numerous officials and guards, he grabbed her by the neck and press-slammed her as hard as he possibly could to the mat.
23	* TheCameo:
24	** Shawn Michaels appeared on ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' to promote ''[[{{Wrestling/WrestleMania}} WrestleMania]] 21''. Wrestling/KurtAngle taunted him by singing his own, lame version of Shawn's theme, and he brought out Sherri to do the chorus. As usual, the segment ends with Sherri betraying him and getting put in the ankle lock.
25	** In late 2006, she made her last television appearance on ''[[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling Impact]]''. It was also the last appearance by Wrestling/BobbyHeenan and Robert Fuller aka Colonel Parker.[[labelnote:*]]Though Fuller/Parker has since re-emerged in the revived Wrestling/{{MLW}} in 2018.[[/labelnote]] The premise is that Roode was looking for a new manager.
26	* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown:
27	** In 1988, Martel wrestled not only as herself, but her alter-ego [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMmflWjQNgI "Peggy Sue",]] who would work interference for the Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan. Disguised in a blonde wig and sunglasses, Sue was supposedly a groupie who was jealous of Miss Elizabeth, and would sometimes attack her.
28	** Hogan's first WCW appearance. A real man would NEVER hit a woman, but a woman in [[DisguisedInDrag drag?]] Sherri didn't think that plan through.
29	* ClothingDamage:
30	** This happens in every promotion she wrestled for. She was scandalized at least once in the AWA (courtesy of Tommy Rich), again in ECW (Shane Douglas), once in WWE (Jim Duggan), and twice in WCW (Ric Flair and Jimmy Hart).
31	** An early episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw RAW]]'' saw Sherri and Wrestling/LunaVachon tear off most of each other's clothes during a fight.
32	* TheCoatsAreOff: If she takes off her shoes, RUN.
33	* CombatStilettos: For some reason, she always wears stilettos into the ring. Shawn claims that a few times, when one of the boys went too rough on him in the ring, she told him to throw them out there, and they would get certain areas kicked by her boots.
34	* ComicallyIneptHealing: In order to stop Shawn and Rick Martel from fighting each other, she pretended to faint. Because both wrestlers wanted to carry her backstage, they started to bicker again, with no regard for Sherri's safety.
35	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale:
36	** One skill which kept Sherri around was that she could take a bump (in 4-inch heels, ouch), most frequently from Hogan and the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior. She was a good looking lady who was as over as any {{heel}} on the roster (the temperature went up 10 degrees before she spoke a word), and because of her background as a wrestler, she could [[http://i.imgur.com/fsBXKnP.gif beat seven shades of crap]] out of the men, or be a threat on the inside or outside; a rare set of attributes.
37	** She was repeatedly targeted by Jake Roberts for his satanic games, including: being slapped, made to grovel for Savage's protection, slapped again, and nearly having a snake thrown at her. It's the same technique JTS used on Miss Elizabeth at ''Tuesday In Texas.''
38	* DreadfulMusician: She helped Shawn compose his own theme, "Sexy Boy", and also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgtOvcZ9Qo8 sang backup.]] It can peel paint off the walls. It was later recycled by Kurt Angle who came out to "Sexy Kurt". Marty Janetty still can't walk.
39	* EvilCounterpart: The whore to Liz's Madonna. (Liz seemed a lot hotter when she joined WCW, but she really wasn't; just more exposed. Shows what a subtle choice of costume can do.)
40	** Somewhat with Moolah as well. Both were evil, but Sherri was younger and more hands-on with her evil deeds.
41	* ExcessiveEvilEyeShadow: Garish makeup was normal, but even by 80's standards, Sherri was on a different planet: Purple or black line extending further than they needed to, with eyebrows or spider webs on her forehead applied via Sharpie. In the VHS release of WWF Rampage '92, it has a segment called "Makeup Tips With Sensational Sherri". It ends with a girl in the makeup chair [[https://i.imgur.com/MPxtpfy.gif screaming when she looks in a mirror.]]
42	-->'''Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon''': Who does her makeup, Helen Keller?
43	* FaceFramedInShadow: A publicity [[https://i.imgur.com/rwxiqhg.jpg still]] of Kronk and Yzma, er, Macho and Sherri.
44	* FacialMarkings: She sported some distinctive facial markings in her career, which Alissa Flash and Sassy Stephie used to imitate: her initials ([[ANaziByAnyOtherName SS]]), cat makeup, a dollar sign, and a heart with an arrow through it.
45	* FemmeFatalons: Open palm strikes. And she was known to rake claws across eyes, as well.
46	-->'''Wrestling/DeanAmbrose:''' You don't want women screaming, yelling at you and trying to scratch your eyes out, like some kinda Evil Witch...Cat...Lady.
47	* TheFightingNarcissist: Martel held the AWA World Women's Championship three times, and the WWF Women's Championship once. She used to show up to the arena in a ballroom gown with a bunch of Corgis.
48	-->'''[[http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/the-thread-count-a-fashionable-history-of-wrestling-weddings-part-1/ Danielle Matheson]]''': Madusa shows up looking like an extra from ''Oliver'', furthering that idea. She’s the Anne Klein to Sherri’s Vivienne Westwood, if you will. While Sherri is all personality, Madusa is meant to be all business, a real wrestler.
49	* FinishingMove:
50	** As a wrestler: the Sherri Stunner.
51	** As a valet: Removing her boots and performing a Big Splash, sometimes while clutching both heels...
52	* FriendlyFire: ...But since the opponent needed to be in a Nelson hold for this to work, she usually clobbered her own men.
53	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: After winning the ''King of the Ring'' tournament, Macho Man became the Macho King (as is tradition), and Sherri became his "queen", replacing Elizabeth on ''Wrestling Spotlight''. The pair were carried into the ring on a [[TooImportantToWalk sedan chair]] by jobbers.
54	* GoldDigger: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEP9wGgXH7Y Sensational Sherri gives relationship advice?]]
55	* GorgeousGorgon: As a female valet in the 80s who was neither foreign, old, heavy, or particularly odd-looking, typical WWF booking decreed that she was going to need bad makeup. She's actually one of the better-looking lady champs of the time. (Her and Wrestling/WendiRichter).
56	** Sherri was a beautiful woman with a gorgeous body, but she was cast as just as tough and vicious as the the worst heel. As Bobby Heenan put it, "A man hitting a woman isn't OK, even in wrestling. Except Sherri Martel, because she was made of iron and could knock your head off."
57	* HamToHamCombat:
58	** Her promos with Randy sound like your neighbors arguing after a case of beer.
59	** When Luna was gunning for her crown, Sherri brushed her away as some "mad dog certified lunatic". (No comment.) Luna didn't take to kindly to that, apparently, and she bashed Martel with the TV monitor.
60	*** A little bit of wrestling trivia with that above quote; Luna's uncle was himself a professional wrestler, Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon.
61	* HandbagOfHurt: Clubbing people with a purse, which they sold as if it were an anvil. (It was loaded.) The bag also contained hair spray which she used to blind opponents, though it ALWAYS missed and sprayed Booker by accident.
62	* HoistByTheirOwnPetard:
63	** During HBK's entrances, Sherri would tag behind him while carrying a heart-shaped dress mirror. Shawn had just split from Marty Jannetty and was getting a push as top heel. Prior to a match with Michaels, Jannetty grabbed the mirror and tried to hit Shawn with it. Michaels saw the attack coming and hid behind Sherri. Guess who took a shot to the face with a 20 inch mirror?
64	** She once knocked herself out with a metal suitcase. (Mongo's trusty Halliburton.) She was aiming it at Wrestling/DebraMarshall, a valet and wife of Mongo [=McMichael=], who was an honorary [[Wrestling/TheFourHorsemen Horseman]] at the time. Instead, Debra providentially ducked, sending it hitting a turnbuckle and whacking Sherri in the head with it.
65	* HoneyTrap: At the height of his folly, to get a shot at the championship, Macho dispatches Sherri to (awkwardly) seduce the Ultimate Warrior.
66	* IHaveManyNames: Sherri Martine (when she worked Japan/AWA from '83-'85), Sherri Martel, Peggy Sue, Sensational Sherri, Queen Sherri, Scary Sherri, Sensuous Sherri, Sister Sherri.
67	* InSeriesNickname: Wrestling/BrutusBeefcake introduced her as "Scary" Sherri, a nickname she didn't much care for, but it stuck.
68	* IncomingHam: "AH! AHHH!! SHAAAAAAWN!!!"
69	* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Had a habit of cheapshotting guys from the turnbuckle or cage wall while wearing a freaking white evening gown. She leapt off a cage in WCW to deliver a double axe handle to Hogan.
70	* KlingonPromotion: At ''[=WrestleMania VII=]'', Ted [=DiBase's=] butler {{Wrestling/Virgil}} finally had enough of his ill-treatment and challenged him. The fight spilled out into the arena and knocked over Wrestling/RoddyPiper, who was still recovering from an earlier injury. Livid, Piper jumped in to assist, but Sherri materialized and grabbed Piper's crutch in mid-swing. In the end, she saw to his downfall. Ted lost one bodyguard and gained a new one.
71	* LadyMacbeth: Her break-up with Macho Man. She was nothing but a snake to him, which is why the crowd wept when she got her comeuppance.
72	* LoveAtFirstPunch: With Colonel Robert Parker and his men Dick Slater & Bunk House. At the ''Great American Bash'' '95, Parker interrupting a promo to lay a wet one on Sherri. The kiss was met with a punch, but this only enticed Parker to keep chasing. However, later Sherri suffered a concussion and underwent a change in personality. When the tag teams faced each other again at ''Fall Brawl'', both Managers ended up in the ring and shared TheBigDamnKiss which baffled the arena.
73	* LoveMartyr:
74	-->Macho is cutting a promo\
75	* Sherri annoyingly taps his shoulder*\
76	'''Macho''': What do you want?\
77	'''Sherri''': I got somethin' to show ya!\
78	'''Macho:''' Well....go get it.\
79	* Sherri leaves*\
80	* Macho continues with his promo*\
81	* Sherri arrives with a sign*\
82	'''Macho''': "BETTER THAN THE BEST: THE MACHO KING.....(in smaller writing) and queen"\
83	'''Sherri''': Do you like it?!\
84	'''Macho''': Hee-yeah, I like it....maybe if you cut this little piece off (the bit referring to the queen), it'd be EVEN BETTER, OOH-YEAH!\
85	* Sherri cries and runs away*
86	** HBK did not return her affections, and commentators observed that their relationship seemed "one-way." He did not seem to have a problem flirting with women in the crowd. Their union came to an end when Sherri got bonked in the head with one of HBK's mirrors. Or, to be more specific, Marty Jannetty swung Shawn's mirror, and Shawn [[DirtyCoward pulled Sherri in front of him to take the blow and then ran off]]. Tale as old as time.
87	* MaleGaze: Sherri's bottom gets more camera than some of the champs do. The Ultimate Warrior dominated the first half of his match with Randy, until he found himself tossed outside the ring. And there's Sherri, gingerly helping him to his feet. Any guesses as to what happened? If you guessed "punch him in the larynx while her moneymaker fills up the screen", then you'd be correct.
88	** Summerslam 92 had Sherri wearing assless pants. The camera makes sure you don't miss this.
89	** In a later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TM_AzRaSsc vignette]], Andre The Giant spanks Sherri when she tries to recruit him as a charge. Though Andre is doing it more as "spanking a naughty child," the camera zooms in on Sherri's shapely butt.
90	** And later still, when she was managing [=Ted DiBiase=], she would tuck $100 bills into her ample cleavage. If the camera was any closer to her, it would be behind her.
91	* MilkingTheGiantCow: In the 90s, there were few things more terrifying than Sherri losing her mind at ringside.
92	* TheMistress: Say what you will about "Sensational" Sherri as a character, but Sherri Martel averted this, big time; beginning with Randy Savage and continuing with Ted DiBiase and everyone after that, Sherri would make it a point to have a good conversation with their wives or girlfriends to make sure they knew that she was only paired with them for the storylines, and that there was absolutely nothing going on personally.
93	* TheMole:
94	** In ECW, Shane Douglas had Sherri in his corner until December 1994, when Brian Pillman pushed her over and ripped her blouse, revealing a photo taped to her breast — of Ric Flair. Outraged, he tore Naitch's likeness to pieces. But Sherri (being Sherri) got right in Shane's grill, hands on hips, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cX_j2enhg#t=100s Woo'ed]] him.
95	** At first, WCW fans were not sure what to make of Sherri, who had switched to calling herself “Sensuous” Sherri and came to ringside with her face painted like Sting’s. The fans were behind Sting, and Martel was there to show support. This continued for weeks, with Sherri rooting for Sting, while the commentators scratched their heads wondering what was up. In the end, Sherri attacked the crowd favorite during a match with Flair, costing Sting the title. Hogan arrived and came at her with the 24-inch pythons, but Slick Ric yanked her leg through the ropes and they fled, leaving Hulk snatching at air.
96	* MrsRobinson: The age gap was most apparent with HBK and, several years later, Bobby Roode.
97	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: During their rematch in WCW, Sherri went up top and Madusa caught her in mid-Splash. If Madusa had taken time to study the WWF tape library, she would know why this is a terrible idea: Sherri reversed it in mid-air (the same trick she pulled on Moolah) for a roll-up. As Sherri was busy celebrating, Madusa sprang up and took her to Suplex City. Literally [[https://gfycat.com/SizzlingFalseAyeaye just dropped her on her head and then slammed her skull into the mat]] five or six times. It took two referees to pry her off. ''Note'': This is a famous spot. There was legit heat between these two, and Sherri refused to job to her. So Madusa just bullhammered her after the match. At the time, Sherri was hooked on oxycodine, so getting a neck injury right then wasn't good.
98	* NouveauRiche: After beating Moolah for the world championship, Sherri demanded to be treated like some kind of duchess. Lord Alfred took it upon himself to teach Sherri and the Brooklyn Brawler some etiquette and table manners, with mixed success.
99	-->'''Heenan''': Very well spoken! I think she went to Oxford, didn't she?
100	* PaidHarem: Sister Sherri traveled by stretch limo and jet liner, with an all-male flight crew. Sometimes it pays to work for Wrestling/EricBischoff.
101	* PerkyFemaleMinion:
102	** "Peggy's" dance moves.
103	** Macho and Shawn seemed to barely tolerate her. In the famous promo from "No Holds Barred" (Macho's steel cage match with Tiny Lister), Sherri pretends to climb up the cage and reappear in front of it, as if by magic, but you can clearly see her scurrying behind Macho and [[Creator/TinyLister Zeus]] on all fours (the cage is a facade).
104	** Who else would insist on a below-the-belt stipulation to preserve Shawn and Rick's beautiful faces? When it looked like they might break that stipulation, she "fainted."
105	** Basically any "answer" she gave on ''Series/FamilyFeud''. ("SO MUCH PRESSURE!!")[[note]]Team WWF consisted of heels: Bobby Heenan, Brian Knobbs, Sensational Sherri, The Mountie, and Jimmy Hart, all of them in-character. Their opponents were from the World Bodybuilder Federation, one of WWE's failed side-ventures.[[/note]]
106	* PutOnABus:
107	** The WWF released Sherri after she failed a drug test in '93. This happened before her feud with Luna could have a satisfying conclusion.
108	** At the January 1996 edition of ''Clash of the Champions'', Sister Sherri eloped with Col. Parker to a 24-hour chapel, with Mean Gene Okerland giving her away. She got sneak-attacked by the returning Madusa (Sherri's old nemesis from their AWA days), which caused havoc and destroyed the wedding placements. The following night on ''Nitro'', Mean Gene interviewed Sherri about the assault. Madusa pounced again, beating Sherri so bad that she was missing in action for months. In truth, Bischoff suspended Sherri for a year on the condition that she enter drug rehab.
109	* PutTheirHeadsTogether: This always happened in WWE after Sherri faceplanted into the ring. Hogan did it first, followed by Warrior: he won ''[=WrestleMania=]'' VII by grabbing Macho and Sherri by the hair and clonking them together. Macho himself would later use that finisher on Million Dollar Man and Sherri.
110
111	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Sherri's ascendency to WWF manager was a luck of the draw. She had just dropped the WWF Women's Championship to Rockin' Robin in Paris, and was worried for her job when Wrestling/MissElizabeth walked in and told her that she was would be working with Randy from now on. There was almost no notice given. All Elizabeth would say was that WWF was splitting her from Randy and that she was taking a vacation.
112
113	* ReallyGetsAround: She swapped a lot of spit in the nineties.
114	* RingOldies: Purely through being a divorced mom who stripped to make ends meet and later climbed her way through a crazy-tough old school system, safe to say that back in the day, Martel was a bad-arse who could legitimately handle herself. When she was sixteen years old, she approached Grizzly Smith (father of Jake Roberts) and asked him to teach her how to wrestle; he told her to come back when she was 21. Five years later, Sherri came back and declared that she was 21 and had a year of training under her belt, so Smith went upstairs and then came down and told Sherri to report to the Fabulous Moolah’s training camp.
115	* TheRival: Sherri feuded with so many wrestlers over the years. Candi Devine (in the AWA), Rockin' Robin, Sapphire (Dusty's valet), Luna Vachon, and (most memorably) Liz Huelette. Madusa shut the book on her career for good, though. Outside of the ring, she had a professional (i.e. non-violent) rivalry with Jimmy Hart.
116	* SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace: Her nuptials were cut short when the Colonel was caught heating on her, and Madusa put her through a table — which was also the one carrying the hors-d'oeuvres.
117	* SpiritualSuccessor: Sherri fits the mold of the female manager who isn't afraid to mix it up or take punishment: Baby Doll (Nickla Ann Roberts) or {{Wrestling/Melina}} in the modern era.
118	* TooKinkyToTorture: After winning a match, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels would grab her by the hair and shove her to the mat while he struck a pose. However, Sherri would clearly be shown with a big smile on her face while laying there.
119	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: When she managed Wrestling/PlayboyBuddyRose and Doug Somers in the AWA, and again when she managed Harlem Heat in WCW.
120	* UnholyMatrimony: As the only woman in WWF's rogues gallery, she had this effect on heels—even the moribund Wrestling/PaulBearer ("That's more animated than I've ever seen him; he's almost alive"). One person who wasn't buying was [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant André]]: Sherri was among the managers who competed for his attention in a hotel bar, only to receive a spanking from the giant.
121	* UnlimitedWardrobe:
122	** The feline costumes she wore at ''[=SummerSlam=]'' '90 were... something else. That's also the promo where she did that countdown. "10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...1....YEARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
123	** She wore a white, low-cut Pocahontas outfit for her matches with Tatanka.
124	** After Luna called her out for a fight, Sherri, rocking an [[AfroAsskicker afro]] and a pantsuit, kicked her right in the throat.
125	** Sister Sherri looked the part, wearing [[http://i.imgur.com/JuOp1CW.png all-black and sunglasses]] just like Booker and Stevie Ray.
126	** She was supposed to be a [[TheFlapper flapper]] while working for the Million Dollar Man, but she looked like an Oscar statuette. She also wore a gold foil tutu (i.e. her [[https://twitter.com/oswreview/status/478957831488815105?lang=en "Ace Rimmer"]] outfit) and a {{french maid}}'s outfit. As part of his gimmick of throwing money at his opponents, Sherri lifted her skirt so "Teddy" could pluck cash from her garters.
127	** Sherri unexpectedly turned up at ''Clash of the Champions'' (WCW) wearing a [[MasqueradeBall masquerade outfit]]: Sting's facepaint, an hourglass dress, a mask, and opera gloves.
128	** Her wedding dress (a red heart-shaped cloak) is a dual reference to her time with HBK, and to the Queen of Hearts.
129	** Before the fateful match with Warrior, Sherri removed her cape to expose her dress (actually more like the outline of a dress): a [[ShowgirlSkirt showgirl]] number made entirely of rhinestones.
130
131	* VillainDecay:
132	** 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.
133	** 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.
134	--->'''Wrestling/TonySchiavone:''' Oh, for crying out loud!
135
136	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Sherri was a wildcat as a manager: screaming at the ref, parkouring in and out of the ring, and fast-reloading the purse with objects in her cleavage.
137	** When managing Ted [=DiBiase=], her cleavage was quite literally his wallet (''see'' MaleGaze ''entry'').
138	* WickedWitch: As ''[=SummerSlam=]'' '89, she cut a promo alongside Wrestling/RandySavage and Zeus where she stood over a smoking caudron and claiming to be able to see the future.
139	* WomanScorned: The incident with the mirror took her off TV for several months. When she returned at the 1993 Royal Rumble, she sided with Shawn's rival Marty Jannetty in a match, ending her run with Michaels.
140	* WoundedGazelleGambit:
141	** The babyfaces, sick of her meddling, would frequently catch up to Sherri and cock their fists. Heenan would unfailingly jump at this, exclaiming "Don't HIT her! Don't hit THAT LADY!", as Sherri raised her arms in mock terror. (The entire time that Hogan was in the ring with her at the Clash, Jimmy Hart kept screaming "HIT HER!" into his megaphone. That probably wouldn't fly today.)
142	** A few bull rushes from Madusa were enough to make her rethink her career choices, and she tried to flee the AWA arena, glomping onto Mr. Magnificent. It made the crowd suitably angry, but the announcers saw past the ruse: the trick with Madusa is to keep moving long enough to exhaust her, which is in fact what happened.
143	** She made her first WCW appearance at 1994’s ''Clash of the Champions'' XXVII, in a title unification match between Sting and Ric Flair. In the final match, Flair swanned about in preparation for one of his "Flair Flops"... then yanked Sherri into the path of Sting's flying cross body. Dirtiest Player in the Game, for a reason. As the cheers for Sting evaporated (because he'd just tackled a defenseless woman), a disheveled Sherri returned the favor by performing the Splash on him ''three'' times.
