Booker T Plans To Create Sherri Martel Classic In Reality Of Wrestling
Booker T recently appeared on the Battleground Podcast, and one of the topics he discussed was his plans to pay tribute to the late Sherri Martel in his Reality of Wrestling promotion.
When discussing Sherri’s contributions to the wrestling business, Booker noted her impressive skills, while also mentioning his goal to create a Sherri Martel Classic in Reality of Wrestling (via Fightful):
“Sherri was definitely well before her time as far as females in professional wrestling, being able to go out there and doing it the way she did. One that would throw caution to the wind. She was really great at psychology as well. She was a real worker. For myself, I always put her on a pedestal just because she was Harlem Heat’s ‘legitimizer.’ I don’t think we would have been what we were and who we were without Sister Sherri Being right there in the front. So many times, we tore it up and left it in chaos, people just wanted to kill us. So many great times. She would definitely be proud of the groundwork she put down as far as what we’re seeing right now with the ladies going out there with the way they are. I’m definitely going to create a Sherri Martel Classic with Reality of Wrestling sometime very soon,” said Booker.
Martel, who managed Booker T and Stevie Ray in WCW, passed away back in 2007.
