Sherri dead

It just never ends. She was looking pretty good in the last few appearances I saw her at, too. Hope it’s not another drug thing. RIP, Sherri.

That sucks…R.I.P. Scary Sherri
Unbelievable. It seems like every other week another wrestler drops dead. RIP.
Hope it wasn’t another drug or heart thing. In light of her death, it really makes Vince’s “death” rather tasteless. Then again, taste and WWE haven’t been synonymous in quite some time.
RIP Sherri
However, running a “death” angle has really nothing to do with her death. I’m not defending a crappy angle, just their right to have any angle they wish without associating it with a real life occurrence and then calling them out. If we did that with tv shows, it would never end.
I understand your point, but unlike Bobby Bacala or Phil Leotardo, Vince McMahon is still a real person. If you ring the bell ten times for Owen Hart or Eddie Guerrero, it’s cheapened when you do it for Vince and Al when they are not dead.
There are plenty of reasons to drag Vince into something tasteless, but that angle was shot a week before she unexpectedly died.
That’s a stomach punch though. I remember her Hall of Fame speech and how geniune it was. It seemed like all the wrestlers she worked with spoke highly of her. A very underrated star. She could work, she cut some funny promos, she could draw heat and she was probably the first woman in this era to have some legitimatcy with the men as a wrestler. I read that Shawn Michaels would let her stiff the hell out of whoever wasn’t cooperating with his offense.
“I read that Shawn Michaels would let her stiff the hell out of whoever wasn’t cooperating with his offense.”
That almost broke my brain… I had to re-read it. RIP Sensuous Sherri. She was awesome as Harlem Heat’s manager/valet.
Did Sherri ever have drug issues? I remember seeing her at the Hall of Fame show, and she appeared quite hammered, but in a “We’re having fun walking down memory lane and honoring our peers, and someone’s handing out free booze” kind of way, not a “I’m an alcoholic” way.
Horrible news, and yet another example of what a horrific industry wrestling seems to be for early deaths.
I’m actually surprised the government haven’t launched some kind of enquiry into the number of wrestlers dying so young. If it was any other industry, surely some serious questions would be asked?
