5 Valets Who Overshadowed Their Wrestlers (& 5 Who Complemented Them)
10. Complemented: Sherri Martel With Randy Savage
Sherri Martel helped Randy Savage transition from being one of the most beloved characters in WWE to becoming one of the biggest heels in wrestling.
Unlike other valets, who were little more than eye candy, Martel was a rough around the edges villain who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She would frequently get physically involved in Savage's matches, attacking the top babyfaces of the era. She wasn't shy about taking a bump either and was often on the receiving end of a babyface beat down.
While both her ringside and in-ring antics helped generate plenty of heel heat for the 'Macho King,' her promos were also effective. Martel always made Savage (or whoever she was representing) the focal point of her interviews.
'Sensational' Sherri was a valet who understood her job was to get her wrestler over at all costs, and she went to great lengths to do so. Aspiring heel valets would do well to watch old Sherri Martel footage and witness a master at work.
