Dark Side Of The Ring: Sensational Sherri.
Sherri Martel became one the most iconic female wrestlers who was trained by The Fabulous Moolah and Grizzly Smith, and became a champion. In the late 80s Vince decided the female wrestlers weren't going anywhere and dropped them and kept Sherri to be a manager for Macho King, Ted Dibiase, Shawn Michaels until her drug addiction became a problem and then left. She went to WCW as a manager to Harlem Heat and was fired from the company. In 2006 she became the second female to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, in 2007 Sherri passed away aged 49 due to a accidental overdose.
There was a few things in this I didn't know about, I knew about the addiction but never knew how bad and her relationship with a wrestler when she was 17 years old and the two people that trained her. Her promos as a manager were always memorable with the way she spoke and her outfits that almost left nothing to the imagination.
