The latest shocking wrestling death is that of "Sensational" Sherri Martel, a womens' wrestler and manager of the 1980s who was perhaps best known for managing both "Macho Man" Randy Savage and "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. She was 49 years old, and cause of death is thus far unknown.
As if it wasn't a dumb enough idea before, this news makes the decision on Monday's wrestling broadcast to "whack" Vince McMahon by having him "die" via a "car bomb" look even stupider and in poorer taste than it did already. Not that they shouldn't have seen this coming, since the ratio of someone associated with wrestling dying is roughly one every two weeks.
