The Queen of Mean-Superstars#89

Sherri Martel

Real name: Sherry Schrull

Hometown: New Orleans, LA

Membership: Managed "Playboy" Buddy Rose, Macho King Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Tatanka, Shane Douglas, Harlem Heat

A.K.A.: Sherri Martine, Peggy Sue, Queen Sherri, Scary Sherri, Sensuous Sherri, Sister Sherri,  

Finisher: Big Splash 

Background: Failing in one area can lead to success in another. 

Sherri wanted more out of life than being a truck stop waitress or makeup sales. She joined the Fabulous Moolah, who promptly kicked her out for partying too hard.

She kicked out the Midwest for a bit, but she found her fame not as an outright villain but rather a manager. She arranged the crime, helped with the legal details, and generally got her client the most bang for his buck.    

She served as a moll for the Honky Tonk Man, but she eyed Randy Savage as a bigger meal ticket. She was right, and helped turn him from a Macho Man into a Macho King. When he retired, she saw the Rockers break up and knew Shawn Michaels was going right to the top. 

When he smacked her with his mirror she swore revenge but that would be denied her. She eventually left for the south and that is told elsewhere.
