And Now She's Gone

This journal entry will no doubt get me laughed at. That's ok. I used to watch wrestling when I was a little kid. It was fun to watch, despite being horribly fake. One person in particular was my favorite. Her name was Sensational Sherri. I loved watching her! I watched every week, and had coutless tapes with matches that she appeared in. She became the only reason I watched. She was so over the top, you just could not help love her! I even got the chance to meet her once at a wrestling event back in 1990. She was so sweet to me. After she left wrestling, I stopped watching, and have not watched it for many years.

Saturday, I was browsing the internet and came across a news headline saying Sensational Sherri Martel dies at age 49. It hit me really hard for some reason, and I have not been able to shake the feeling all weekend. I cried. I am sad, sad over a person that I have not thought about in a long time. It is stupid really, but in some way I feel like a part of my childhood died with her.

So, I found this on youtube. There are a lot of them floating around, but I liked the song with this one the best. It is cheesy I know, but hey, I am not clever enough to make my own.



You can go ahead and laugh at me now, but please spare me some hurt feelings and do it behind my back.

Childhood memories/heroes are NEVER to be laughed at. Well, sometimes, but only to remember said memories.
