Secondary Titles: Randy Savage (2), Shawn Michaels (2)

World Tag Titles: Rose/Summers (3), Harlem Heat (21)

Total Points: 28

In the 1980's, most managers were either gnarly, cauliflower-eared retired wrestlers or relatively demure ladies. Sherri was the best of both worlds, a nasty, four-time women's champion covered in six to eight pounds of sleazy sexuality. Sherri led Randy Savage to a King of the Ring victory and Shawn Michaels to his first Intercontinental championship, but her specialty was clearly tag team competition.

She led "Playboy" Buddy Rose and "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers to an AWA tag team championship reign, but the lion's share of her success came in WCW as Harlem Heat's Sister Sherri. With Martel at the helm, Booker T and Stevie Ray racked up a then-unheard of seven tag titles.
