10 On-Screen Wrestling Couples You Never Knew Existed
7. Shane Douglas & Sensational Sherri
Shane Douglas didn't half love having digs at Ric Flair at the eight of his mid-1990s ECW fame, all while portraying an "extreme" version of 'The Nature Boy' that the Arena faithful couldn't help but adore. Here, the feud crossed promotional borders, even if it was only ever one-sided to begin with.
Such was the case when his largely forgotten stint with manager Sensational Sherri came to an end before her 1994 signing with WCW.
It was a rather unique situation - Douglas looked every bit the 'Franchise' with such an experienced and deadly valet, but held her in utter contempt when it became apparent she'd be heading to Atlanta and to Flair's side.
In the retrospectively uncomfortable but of-the-time conclusion of their arc, Sherri turned on Douglas during a tag team match, resulting in the tweener Heavyweight Champion piledriving her all the way out of the organisation. Fans went berserk, such was the rather unnerving thirst for male-on-female violence at the time.
