We loss something SENSATIONAL..........
Sheri Martel leaves us with heartful memories no could forget.... Tuesday, June 19, 2007
I am so angry and hurt by the loss of my friend and mentor, Sheri Martel. Why does this happen so much in our business.. I am sick and tired of losing so many co-workers to this business. I wish I could change a lot of things especially the death of Sheri. She was a very Jovial person and if you were her friend you were for life!! We the people of this business need to step up to the plate and make change for a better future, or should I say a longer future in this business. There are so many of us that makes Pro wrestling our life, I have and have seen good and bad.. I choose to move on and not get caught up in the riff raff of sh*t and was also blessed to not be easily influenced by the drugs and steroids. I get so saddened by the constant demand of physical attributes needed for this business and it goes on by the neglect of the higher anarchy of employment not to do better for our talent, young or seasoned. Before we loose another I really hope to see a division addressed to the veterans and a support system to a better life and help them out of the life of pro wrestling when retired.... what I am saying if the NFL can have a programs for all the guys after their career we can too.... Vince McMahon is the leader in this industry, and he could also be a great influence to every one after the retirement

Thank you to all who wrote about Sherri...
I appreciate the notes of sympathy for Sherri. We were friends, and I will miss her; as she will be missed by all of her wrestling family.
My heart and prayers go out to her husband and family. Please keep them in your prayers, they are the ones who need them most.

On a much sadder note, Hall of Fame wrestler "Sensational Sherri" Martel passed away this weekend. I had the honor of working with her in an OVW show, and I just spoke to her at Wrestlemania when she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. She is one of my role models in this business, and she was a sweet, down to earth person. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

-- April Hunter's comments on Sherri Martel:
Her passing is very sad...one of those you didn't really see coming. I LOVED Sherri. She was one of the women who influenced me into wrestling and probably the best female manager of all time. I have all her Japan wrestling matches. 49 seems far too young.
I guess instead of mourning her, we could think more about how lucky she was to have seen the world, lived the life and how she got to do things for our entertainment...how she lived her dream. She did a lot for the world of wrestling, that's for sure.
I always try to do that when people die...think about how they lived instead. She certainly lived up to the name "SENSATIONAL".

Sherri Martel
I was very very sad today to hear that Sherri Martel passed away. I met her once in Germany back in 2001 and she was wonderful to me, very gracious and very respectful.
At the time I didn't know much about her career but since then I have had the opportunity to see more of her work both as a manager and an active wrestler and she is someone I admire greatly and feel inspired by.
Of course my personal experience with her was very brief, but she made a huge positive impression on me and working with her was an experience I'll never forget...
