How Wrestling Explains the World
Society & Culture
The Wrestling Estate's David Gibb and Juice Make Sugar's Nick are here with their off-cycle supplement to the pleasantly in-depth discussion on what makes professional wrestling, well, professional wrestling (and, at least every other week) what that means for the world.
For today's essential viewing of the "Sensational" Queen Sister Sherri Martel, Nick and Dave break down her transcendent work in some of the worst (and one of the best) matches of the Hulkamania era in WWE and WCW.
Sherri vs. Moolah
- Moolah = farts
Savage/Sherri - Dusty/Sapphire
- Sapphire is probably the worst worker we’ve ever seen
- And Sherri makes her less that!
Savage (w/ Queen Sherri) - Warrior
- A pantheon match, moment and performance from everyone involved
Sting-Flair
- The match that breaks Sting's brain
Harlem Heat-Amazing French Canadia(e)ns/Sherri-Colonel Parker - World War 3 (‘96)
- One of the best tag finishes you'll ever see (Seriously!)
- A *classic* appearance of the "get your hands on the manager" trope
- The announcers are very giddy to see Sherri stiff the shit out of Parker
- It even makes very good use of the three rings
