Waunita the Grappler!
As has been suggested, that mysterious vixen Waunita does have wrestling in her background. In fact, some of you old-timers may have seen her wrestle. Waunita wrestled professionally under the pseudo-name of Sherri Martel. A couple more of you may have heard of the untimely death of Sherri but in fact, that was the death of her character only, Waunita lives.
Now, when she did wrestle, she was known by several monikers. A few were Sensational Sherri, Sensuous Sherri, Spectacular Sherri or one Waunita really did enjoy, Scary Sherri.
Waunita or Sherri was under the tutelage of Lilian Ellison, better known as the Fabulous Moolah. The Fabulous one took the young Waunita under her wing. Moolah transformed the raw talent of Waunita into a great grappler names Sherri.
Waunita’s “in-ring” style was a combination built from the lucha libre and that of a mat technician. Waunita had, in fact still has, incredible leg strength. It has been said; she could crush a cantaloupe between her muscular thighs. This strength is attributed in part, to her upbringing. As a child, her mother made the young Waunita, smuggle turkeys and honey hams, out of the grocery store by concealing them between her knees.
Waunita is a brutal wrestler! She gains great satisfaction in making her opponents submit rather than pinning them. At times, she has been known to intentionally lift an opponents shoulders off the mat, so she could inflict more discomfort!
Many times, Waunita wrestled in “handicap” matches where she would face two opponents or compete in “cross gender” matches. In fact, the current “I quit” matches were founded, by Waunita. Of course, Waunita has never uttered those words.
Her mother first witnessed Waunita’s love of inflicting pain. Many times, Waunita was seen wrestling down her older brother. This brother was a redhead named Mark who could lift heavy things. Mark often teased Waunita about her uni-brown which wasn't very smart. Waunita would make the older redhead scream, “Uncle Zechariah.”
Just a bit of biographical data on the crowd favorite, Waunita!
