WWE: 10 Divas From The 90s That We Loved

4. Sensational Sherri

After her successful career as an in-ring that included a WWE Women's Title run in 1987, she moved into the role of a manager. Her managing career saw her start out with Honky Tonk Man as Peggy Sue and then she moved on to become Queen Sherri - the manager of Randy Savage. It was the right role for her because she was a very intense woman that was great in terms of interfering in matches. Savage, who was cocky heel king at the time, thrived with her in his corner. It was a complete contrast to what Elizabeth was, which is why that ending to WrestleMania 7 with Liz attacking Sherri is so perfect. Once her association with Savage ended, she had a brief run managing Ted Dibiase. I will never forget being at a house show with Sherri managing Dibiase and we were sitting in the first row. I was about 11 years old at the time. I was yelling at her to be quiet, so she turned around to me and said "why don't you shut up, kid?" Everybody booed her! Moments later, she shot me this dirty look followed by a wink that let me know it was all good. It's that moment that I think of her and realize how much she really loved her job. Another famous managerial run for her in WWE saw her on the side of Shawn Michaels when he turned heel on his partner Marty Jannetty. Shawn has said many times that her influence really helped him in his career and she taught him a lot along the way. Once her WWE career was over, she had a run in WCW where she most famously managed Booker T & Stevie Ray, who also spoke about how she helped them a lot. Few women in the history of wrestling can compare to Sherri in terms of being an evil woman that wasn't afraid to do anything to get heat. She understood the business as well as anybody and will go down as one of the best managers ever, male or female. Sherri passed away at the age of 49 in 2007. One year earlier she was acknowledged for her accomplished by being inducted in the 2006 WWE Hall of Fame. Looking back, it's great that she was able to step in front of the fans and share her memories one last time.
