Beau James has recently launched the Southern States Wrestling network on Pivotshare, which should be a nice addition of some classic pro wrestling many of us haven't seen. One of the most recent additions that is likely well worth checking out is a Best of Sherri Martel in SSW video, which includes footage of her both wrestling and managing and includes her induction in the East Tennessee Hall of Fame.

Sherri is most remembered for her run as a WWF manager from 1989-1993, first paired with Randy Savage and then with Ted DiBiase. When Shawn Michaels became a singles heel, he was quickly paired with Sherri, perhaps as a signal to fans that Shawn was someone worth watching, as she only managed top heels in the company. Sherri would go on to manage Ric Flair in WCW after Hulk Hogan jumped ship and she later managed Harlem Heat as well. 

Despite mostly being remembered for her work as a manager, Sherri was also a more-than-capable worker in her own right, with a frequent line from Wrestling Observer Newsletter correspondents in the late 80s and early 90s being that on WWF house shows, even just in the corner, she was often the best worker on the show. In a bit of trivia, Sherri was also the first wrestler ever to be managed by Jim Cornette. Before coming to the WWF, Sherri also worked as a ringside second for Doug Somers and Buddy Rose in the AWA during their legendary feud with Michaels and Marty Jannetty in 1986-1987. During the USWA vs WWF feud of 1993, she returned to Memphis to briefly reunite with Savage for his feud with Jerry Lawler.

Other recent additions to the SSW channel include:

• Death and Destruction (Roger Anderson and Frank Parker), a great and overlooked Southern tag team, against Ricky Morton and Dan Cooley
• Two episodes of SSW TV from the summer of 2003
• SSW's 1999 International Wrestling Cup

Have you watched anything on the SSW channel yet? If so, we'd love to hear from you in the comments.
