WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is looking to launch the Sherri Martel Classic with Reality of Wrestling to honor Martel’s legacy in professional wrestling.
Booker T was the latest guest on The Battleground Podcast to discuss a variety of subjects. When asked what it was like to work alongside Sherri Martel, Booker T couldn’t have been more complimentary of his fellow WWE Hall of Famer:
“Oh man, Sherri was definitely well before her time as far as females in professional wrestling,” Booker T said. “Being able to go out there and do it the way she did. One that would throw caution to the wind and was really, really great at psychology as well. She was just a real worker. I know for myself, I always put her on a pedestal on a mountain so high just because she was Harlem Heat’s what I call legitimizer. I don’t think we would have been what we were and who we were without Sister Sherri being right there at the front.
“Man, so many times we tore it up and burned it up and left it in like chaos. People would just want to kill us, but it was so many great times, but she would definitely be proud of the groundwork that she put down as far as what we’re seeing right now with the ladies going out there doing it the way they are. I’m definitely going to create a Sherri Martel Classic with Reality of Wrestling sometime very, very soon. So be on the lookout for it.”
