Getting Noticed By Management
Who had the greatest managed match in wrestling history?
My answer, with passion is.... Queen Sherri at WrestleMania VII.
Sensational Sherri / Sherri Martel was unblievable in this match. The following is a detailed account of her night as she managed The Macho King Randy Savage against the Ulimate Warrior in a career vs career match.
She starts off getting on the apron, making sure the Warrior can see her, making her presence known to him.
Helps Macho with his attire, so he doesn't have to turn his back.
After the Warrior's first advantage of the match, Macho hits the floor, and Sherri jumps up the apron. Warrior goes after her and Macho nails him from behind. Absolutely flawless !
Warrior has Savage in an illegal double handed choke, so Sherri gets into the ring to break it up. Warrior throws Mach into her. She takes the assult... but job done. She made him break the hold !!
Using her brains, she tells Savage to grab a chair from the outside, he tosses it in, and is able to again get offense from behind. Brilliant idea from The Sensational One.
Pounds the mat and does get the Warrio's attention, but no advantage is gained.
This is where she shines. As the Warrior, the 300 pound musceled monster, is on the outside. She knees him in the face. Gouges his eyes. Rakes his back. She takes a 2 handed shove to the ground, but cowars long enough for The Macho King to again attack from the backside!!!
Add another kick to the chest, after being abused just seconds earlier. She was fearless that night!
Warrior with a backslide pin, and Sherri was instantly up on the apron, as Hebner was right in her view and may have stopped the count to address her.
Just like in the beginning moments, Macho to the floor, and Sherri to the apron. No advantaged gained, as Warrior was ready for it this time.
As Savage has a headlock, she pounds the mat, drawing the ref's attention, and gives Mach the opportunity to turn it into a chokehold if needed. A very good manager move.
After a double clothesline, both men were down, but Sherri crawled halfway into the ring, and physically shook Macho awake... and Mach gained the uppehand!
She was distracting Hebner from seeing pinfall as Warrior had Savage pinned for what would have been a 6 ot 7 count and the end of the match!
Now this was only mistake of the night. As the ref was down, Savage was restraining Warrior, and Sherri took too long to take off her skirt. By the time she lept off the top rope with her shoe, the Warrior and moved and ohhhh nooo she hit Savage.
But she quickly redeemed herself, by not leaving the ring, but goating The Warrior to chase her to the outside and away from Macho, and biding him some time to recover. She crawled through the ring, and this let Mach get a pin attempt with a schoolboy.
After a Warrior press-slam, half of his finishing move, she crawls half way into the ring to pound the mat, to wake The Macho King out of a daze. She even guides him to the corner and Mach is able to attack a befuddled Warrior.
She holds the Warrior's throat over the metal guard railing, as Macho goes to the top rope trying to Steamboat his larynx. But unsuccessful.
As the Macho man is fading, she goes to the talk to him up so he isn't counted out.
It definitely gives me a better understanding why she was so upset after the match. She did all she could, had the greatest managed match ever... and still lost.
