Episode 198: Sherri Martel

Today we pay homage to one of the "unsung heroes" of WWE history, a true pioneer, and bonafide Hall of Famer the incomparable "Sensational" Queen Sherri Martel. Bruce and Conrad will examine how she got into the business but more importantly why she got in the business. We will trace her steps from training, her debut, her first big breaks, and of course her recruitment to join the World Wrestling Federation. Who recruited her may surprise you! Bruce also explains why it almost didn't happen, why Sherri got her "push" so quickly, and how that may have effected her relationship with her trainer. Somehow it's all connected for Sherri... until the company lost faith in the women's division. The discuss why that happened and what was next for Sherri... madness. Macho Madness of course. Her pairing with Randy is when she really became the icon she is and the guys discuss their favorite moments of that run including a never before heard story about a real life situation with another talent. Bruce explains the behind the scenes relationship between Randy, Liz, and Sherri, why the pairing with DiBiase wasn't a better fit, why she was the perfect companion for Shawn Michaels, and of course why her run with the company to an end.
