10 Most Memorable WWE Funeral Parlor Segments
10. Sensational Sherri (1 February 1992)
This segment might not have moved the needle as much as the Barber Shop segment that led to it, but it IS noteworthy as the moment that HBK's career was strapped to a rocket.
Three weeks after Shawn Michaels tossed his tag partner Marty Jannetty through Brutus Beefcake's Barber Shop window (or Jannetty committed the ultimate act of cowardice by leaping through the window to escape, depending on who you ask), Sensational Sherri would emerge on the set of the Funeral Parlor to express her infatuation with the Heartbreak Kid and announce that her former charge, 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase, had granted her an open-door policy to chase the object of her affection while welcoming her back at any time she chose.
A simple, yet unique segment that allowed for an amicable split between manager/partner and client (a rarity even by today's WWE standards), the company solidified their faith in Michaels by pairing him with a trusted hand in Sherri. She would guide him to the Intercontinental Championship that November and HBK would become a household name in WWE for the next 18 years. He remains a beloved figure a nearly a decade after his Hall of Fame induction.
