13 minutes of old WWF wrestlers on vhs is better than 3hrs of HD wwe raw.
Amen to that. Best comment I've read all year. :)
I swear smh
agree totally
Even _with_ the tracking going nuts. :)
calamaty
Exactly in the Shieks voice
Arsenio deserves a Celebrity Hall of Fame ring for these interviews back in the day
I agree he did a lot to help wwf/WWE get exposure at that time
You know, that's real good point. Even for the short time his new show was on the air he had a lot of wrestlers on. He definitely deserves to go in and his name is never brought up.
Steve Costa Totally Agree Way Overdue
Especially since he was always cool with letting them talk in kayfabe. Arsenio was a great mark for the sport. Mean that in a positive way. His show helped sell those house shows at the Sports Arena just as much as SuperStars of Wrestling or Wrestling Challenge did.
JPP's Fingers yup
Got to meet her as a kid when she wrestled. She was standing in the back before her match and bunch of us kids spotted her and she never broke character. She gave us a bunch of mean looks and wouldn't talk to us basically ignoring us. We stayed in that back area after the match and she came back thru there and smiled at us then winked and asked us were we having fun, then told us to come back after it was over and she would take a few pictures with us and sure enough she kept her word and took a few pics before she left!
LaDaryl Barker what an amazing memory. Sherri was truly an incredible woman
We use to see Zeus in the Fox Hills Mall all the time. We would yell Zeus! He would wave and look for you (because sometimes you were on another floor) just to add, how are you doing.
Sherri was the best of all time.
Lie
I've met Sherri at a German indy show in 2000. She was a sweet woman and lots of fun to be around with. Truly sensational!
RIP Tommy "Zeus" Lister & Sherri Martel.
I remember when Sherri was inducted into the HOF , i did not know she passed away and not even a year after she was inducted. So sad.
Rip macho man randy savage
and savage!
@captain scentsible39 He was better known as Tiny Lister. He was called Tiny, Deebo and of course Zeus.
Loved the ott performances of the wwf stars back then. There were so many great characters. Good times!
i actually liked Sensational Sherri. She was hot n beautiful
R.I.P 2 BOTH
As a kid I always got shit for saying i thought she was sex'y as hell.. I stand by my statement and feelings as an adolescent lol
@@carlosgarcia5458 I know what you mean I mean as a character I hated her but she was oddly sexy ...its mainly because I remembered how she looked before the make up....but it was only when I grew older that I appreciated how amazing she was.
She was gorgeous when I was growing up!!! I couldn’t get enough of her videos from the age of 12
These are the hit Ole days indeed. The Golden Era, baby.
They didn't break character back then....it was way more fun!
Back then there was more of an appetite of believability from fans. I'm not sure it would be as easy to pull off with the casual fan today.
@@livingforever6157 we won't know until somebody commits to keyfabe. I mean, whoever does it will get keyfabe angry when people shout at him "it's feke!"
Breaking a character back then was a mortal sin. Matk Callaway was a victim of that.
@@anastasiosgkotzamanis5277 even if they do "commit to it" it won't matter because we all do know it's fake. ;) So everything just looks like some cheap storyline build up.
@@elchichosantana6410 Undertaker
Sherri had one hell of a hot body.
straight up natural too
Her personality too
@Lyles music HaHaHa!
She was hot
She was awesome and so sexy. Even as a kid I liked her.
Sheri constantly hitting on Arsenio and Zeus always intimidating him will always be hilarious
You probably already saw it- but the Bad News Brown interview on Arsenio was also really funny 😂
@captain scentsible39 Nice ass too.
She look like she could’ve been part of the revolution with prince.
Alot of women did back then :)
Yea she looked like she could've been in Prince's camp
lol
Rest in heaven Zeus and Sherry. We all miss you
Zeus wasn't that okay in wrestling. He was so bad.
They are all dead
@@hectorlopez1069he was over,he drew money & that's all that matters.
Yes
She was nice in real life. Her and Elizabeth were actually good friends. Good wrestler's know how to KAYFABE.
Yea I heard that Sherri was the best and the sweetest outside the ring.
Kids today will never under stand video quality
#Truth
Keith Preston Kids today don't understand anything, but laziness.
I knew how to use tracking pretty well. Tracking is an art.
Mhm
@@shavonnestacia2865 What a comment!
wrestlers back then had so much charisma and could easily take over any crowd! Today doesn't compare at all
Wrestlers back then also wrestled in the days when every dip shit didnt up bring up past eras just to shit on now wrestlers in every comment section just to get likes & feel cool
Zeus had no charisma & couldn't wrestle put him in this era & he would be no different than ryback & worst than bruan
@@gustavojackson6864 Zeus had charisma and presence, he just couldn't wrestle. For a guy who said he ran a 4.7 40 in college, he had no quick twitch ability at all. He was so awkward in the ring. Its a shame. If he had the wrestling ability of Hogan(which isn't saying much) he may have had a longer career.
@@livingforever6157 Tiny lister jr. is more of an actor than athlete.
@@gustavojackson6864 If WWE today didn't suck so much ass we wouldn't have to be looking back so fondly on even someone like Zeus, LOL. Yeah he wasn't exactly a legend, but he was part of a MUCH better product.
Facts!
What a beautiful woman Sensational Sherri truly was may she rest in peace(1958-2007).
Rénald Jean She died like a week before the benoit tragedy
Scary sherri
She died very young...do you know the cause of death?
@@javierdelgado1554 I think it wss a od on pain killers and booze if memory serves me right
Arsenio always had wrestlers on. HOF 2018
Joel Johnson hell yeah
She was the only woman wrestler to work in all five of the major wrestling companies: WWF, NWA, AWA, WCW, and ECW.
RAQUAAHWA TheCodedtestament nice
She also made a small appearance on TNA, so if you consider that to be a major American wrestling promotion, than you can add that as well
The GOAT
@Szechwan Tibetan Monk style What the fuck is wrong with you!? Have some respect.
no shit , that's whats up i knew she was very talented but i didnt know her resume was that impressive. Now i know 😉
Being a 9 year old kid, my parents were so awesome they would always let me stay up to watch Arsenio when it came on from 11pm to 12am. I will never forget watching this on TV.
What a great time to be a kid!!!!
I still enjoy Sherri now!!
Why are the old greats so much better than the new ones
Because when you look back, you can hand-pick only the best ones to focus on. There were a LOT of duds back then as well. The real question is where are the few greats that should be showing up these days. Rock and Austin had it. You could make an argument for Cena too even though I'm not a fan. Taker of course but he was born of that old era. So who will the fans be looking back at from the current era and saying "boy things were great back then. I wish we had guys/gals like....". I can't think of any names to put in that blank.
Cause their classic
They want soft and effeminate Males now..
Because they stayed in character back then
Because they worked different promotions to learn and understand their craft instead of just working in the WWE where your entire character, promo and entire match are written out for you.
Man see, THIS IS WHEN WRESTLING WAS FUN!!!! They NEVER BROKE CHARACTER....It made them STARS. God Bless Sherri and Zeus, We appreciate you!!
Mjf never breaks character and he’s a modern wrestler
Sensational Sherri was and always will be my favorite woman wrestler. 💟
She was the greatest woman, period, in wrestling HISTORY. She could do it all and was always willing to do whatever was asked of her (seriously, they put her in some angles/situations that made her look utterly foolish and took it all like a champ!). I even loved her face run as Harlem Heat's manager; she could be a vamp, goofball, or a badass and was believable in EVERYTHING she did! What a talent! RIP
She is is my favourite wrestler ever. And that includes male and female. She was so great
Scary sherri
Zeus tried so damn hard not to laugh.
ThePattycake1313 facts
Tiny Lister corpsing? *Send for the man!*
Arsenio and Tiny Lister, sold this interview. Dang, it was good back in thr days 😇
@@blackLove357 thats my bike punk
I remember watching no holds barred back in the day. Zues was truly scary!!!! Lol
She was a beautiful babe, with the athleticism of a pro wrestler and the sharp mind and verbal abilities of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan!
Exactly! The most complete female performer the business has ever seen. No other woman can touch her.
your correct but Chyna took it to the next level. She could press women and small men. Sherri Martel or Moolah could not do that. Chyna is number 1. Sherri was a better actress but had a lot of years of experience as a wrestler before she went to the wwf
Not quite like Bobby but she was fun
Patrick O'Riley she my favourite wrestler ever .
Bang on. She totally reminds me of Heenan...total package, and can totally work a crowd...what a star she was.
31 years later. This as entertaining as the night it came on. 💯
Agree
Zeus was trying hard not to laugh
Zeus! is from Compton!!
COMPTON!!!
South central
BOMPTON!!!!
My favorite part :)
Deebo!!
i use to be in love with Sensational Sherri as a kid she was the first ride or die chick in wrestling took bumps many times from dude's in the ring she was a legend rip Sherri Martel
Was she married to Rick "the Model" Martel?
@@javierdelgado1554 I don't think so I use to think that as a kid too
Sherri would have been perfect for the “ NWO” .
Imagine if Randy left Elizabeth again for her
Sherri was great for anyone!!
She’s done Greg, Randy, Playboy, Shawn, Ted, Harlem heat, and many more.
Yes
I booed the hell out of her when I was a kid. As I grew up, I came to appreciate and respect her for how good she really was. R.I.P. Queen Sherri. You truly are among the greatest heel valet/manager in history.
Sherri was so awesome. She deserved so much more credit. I miss the WWF and all the old wrestlers.
What a woman ,she will be missed
I know
He needs to be in the WWE HOF for all the interviews he did.
what I like about this that every wrestlers that come on that show stay in character
She was so hot.
+Rick P yes she was my she rest in peace
She really and truly was. What a body that woman had.
honey not only she hot she is SEXY& FIERCE!!!!!!!
i got to wrestle her in Evansville IN maybe 14yrs ago. She was something else i tell ya lol. She was everything! They were foxy in the 80s
The Original Diva Do you know Jesus?
RIP Sherri
Mark Healey yeah
This was such a great ERA of the WWF. Sherri and Elizabeth really brought a true sense of lady-ness to wrestling, it was so wonderful to watch it as a little girl. They were never too much or over the top, but just enough drama and class. I so admired both of them! Then and now.
dear god is she hot
marshare rite
She's dead
She sure was.
Great upload. Those were the days. Still think Sherri is sexy with the face paint here. She isn't wrong when she says she has a body of a Greek goddess. 11/10 imo.
Best body I’ve ever seen
@@MegaHeels Absolutely incredible! In my top 5 female wrestlers and easily best female manager.
edinburghborn she’s my top celebrity ever. I just love everything about her
I recall watching a shoot interview with Sherri from the early 2000s (slightly before she passed away). She presented as one of the most kind, generous, and classy performers I've had the pleasure of watching. She put nearly everyone over and told some truly great stories. After literally being at the top of the industry for several decades, listening to how she ended up ODing at her Mom's house just brings me to tears...for me, it adds an additional level of tragedy when so many of wrestlers who've passed well before their time end up dying within miles of where they grew up.
I absolutely love the Macho, Sherri, and Zeus promos. The cauldron of madness!!
Elizabeth = Angel
Sherri = Sexiest Demon
I pick Sherri :)
I loved her character she was the best
Boyhood crushes, Sherri, Miss Elizabeth and Princess Leia
Yep, the perfect polar opposites. Elizabeth was the goody 2 shoes.
Sherri was the type that would want u to pound her through the wall and beg for more.
Love them both, but Sherri all day.
Zeus tried everything in his power not to laugh 😂😂😂 this was the shit right here!! I miss those days!
Yep
Arsenio hall show was given to us from the future..it's way ahead of its time.
Arsenio tried his hardest to get her to break character. She didn't and still was sexy. R.I.P. Sensational Sherri aka Scary Sherri
Kayfabe is such a lost art nowadays.
Amen to your comment
There’s not much they can do. When they pulled back the curtain, the effect was lost.
@@NemeanLion- i agree with you. I would also like to see someone work hard at it, no matter what.
@@NemeanLion- I started watching in 1983 at 8 years old, within a year I knew it wasn't "legitimate". Half of the fun was watching for when they called moves, bladed, etc. But we played along! The bulk of the people in the crowd knew what was going on. By my teens I heard about Meltzer's Observer and subscribed to it and all I really "learned" was the inside jargon like kayfabe, etc. McMahon admitted to the NJ Athletic Commission that wrestling was a work but on TV they still played it full on kayfabe. By the Attitude era WWF started openly acknowledging stuff with innuendo & the RAW Magazine but slowly they started to drop any pretense outside of the actual shows on TV. Nowadays they barely even try on the shows. The shit since the pandemic has been awful with silly comedy and parody of the business. You CAN keep kayfabe on a program and outside of the ring again. Of course everyone will still now it's a work but the same was true in the 80s & 90s. Treat the business seriously and the fans will too...
It is what it missing in wrestling. Too many people talk too much about the art form and expose all the secrets. Kayfabe is what wrestling is in need off.
Sensational Sherri was the Perfect Woman 😚😘😍
Sachin The Gamer totally agreed. Perfect.
Love it when Arsenio had WWF stars on his show. He actually provided a great platform to promote pay per views and continue storylines.
Kudos to Arsenio and also Regis & Kathie Lee for regularly featuring wrestlers on their shows.
Arsenio was blushing hard af
The Attitude Era gets so much credit and worship, but this right here is the era of wrestling I like most. I love the gimmicks and the kayfabe. It was so fun to suspend belief and play along with it.
Product of the 80's...gotta luv this ole school entertainment before all the PC
I had the sheer pleasure of meeting Sherri Martel at a "legends" event, just a few years before she passed away, and she still basically "glowed in the dark," just like this. RIP.
Sherri knew how to worked the crowd
Amazing and entertaining as well, she is missed surely! I loved sensational sherri
Back then was the day's to watch WWE
wwf
WWF. That pathetic trash WWE didn't exist for another decade and more
@@tsbirthdeath You disgrace
The nigga comment from booker T brought me here
@@bahbaroni9955 you're pitiful. at least thomas is right.
A truly wonderful, talented and stunning woman. Been a fan since the 80's and that era has now lost one of it's greatest treasures. We fans who are still here know that you made our lives Sensational...and we'll never forget what you've done. RIP Sensational Queen
2017 WWE women's superstars would all get the Shit beat out of them by Queen Sherri.
Thanks for uploading this footage of the Goddess that was Sherri Martel.
Love the part at 7:20 when Arsenio says "Constipated Sherri" and she seems to break character and gets a shocked look on her face. Small thing but kinda charming considering back then wrestlers rarely broke "kayfabe".
And you have to hand it to Arsenio, not really the best interviewer and his jokes were lame but he usually had interesting guests (I mean, he interviewed Jason!).
I agree. The Sherri's laugh was so cute. 😍
@William Dupree or perhaps I just don't find him funny. Nothing to do with "frame of mind". I find most talk show hosts unfunny. Besides I gave him credit for having a good raport with his guest but overall his interviewing skills were weak and his joke were standard late night fare. Not my thing.
@@brandonhendrix7223 It's true that his interviewing skills were weak. I think what made his show popular was that it was raw and off the cuff unlike the other late night talk shows which added a sense of authenticity.
Arsenio's facial expression @ 6:12 is priceless! LOL
Sherri was such a great lady, both in and out of the ring. God rest her soul.
She always loved the brothers.
Hell Yeah she dug tha Bruthas👍 B4 she started powderin her 👃 she a lil more thickness 2 her. I cudve swore i seen her bend ova ova once w/no panties! Lol 😂 Tha Harlem Heat: Book n Stevie Ray prob ran a 🚅🚎 on Sheri sexy self n told em No Bone No Contract... NOW CAN DIG THAT, SUCKA🍻
Keep dreaming.
@@qwikfist8 what in the fuck did you attempt to say?
@@Cherubim666999 they ran a train on her
@@qwikfist8 Here's what I can dig... you showing some respect.
That was such an amazing promo! I miss pro wrestling. And rest in peace "Tiny," thank you for the decades of entertainment.
I like how he claimed his city lol
Tiny Lister was a heck of an actor. He stayed in character throughout his wrestling and this show. Amazing! Btw, I loved Sherri in the AWA and ECW more.
I loved Tiny as the President in the Fifth Element
God i love her
"I have a PHD in hurting people!" 😂
Not one time in this interview did WWE HOF Sensational Sherri ever break kayfabe. Masterful heel interview
we love you sensational Sherri r.i.p queen
She was so beautiful R I P Sensational Sherri
Good old Sherri making Arsenio blush lolz.
At 10:46 when Sherri said yeaaaaa she knew when to make someone look good she was one of a kind
Craig would've needed more than a brick to knock out Zeus. Holy shit was Tiny Lister huge back then.
9:52 trying not to crack up laughing.
Tiny “Zeus” Lister is trying so hard not to smile lol
ARSENIO needs to be in the WWE HALL OF FAME. He was a huge friend of the WWE for promotions, etc. He played an important role in WWE’s success. Some may disagree or minimize his efforts, but the fact of the matter was a that he exposed the WWE to a larger audience.
This was great to watch. Nothing beats old school WWF and Arsenio. Thanks for posting!
My god she was beautiful. Truly missed.
Sherri was an incredibly intelligent woman, she understood the business so damn well
CLASSIC EPISODE, CLASSIC WRESTLING. THANK YOU TO WHOEVER PROVIDED THIS VIDEO!!!
Sherri was so great. Man I miss the old days of tv.
Sherri and Zues did so good staying in character
Sherri was ride or die.
Like legit - a women's wrester's wrestler.
Best performer - so much range - maybe the most, actually talented female performer ever. Not even joking.
Amen
R.I.P Zeus. I remember watching this episode as a kid with my parents. I was legit scared for Arsenio Hall.
Queen Sherri could single handedly carry a show/match/interview. Not one women has even come close to equaling her entertainment.
When she climbed up the gate in the promo vid and crawled around the back she won the title for me 😂
Always bugs me when people call Sunny the Original Diva
Everything she said about Hogan is true.
Yes! I've been waiting for someone to upload this to RUclips for years. I use to have it on VHS myself but lost it through the years. Somebody told me that they went to a commercial break at the end there and when they came back Zeus was tearing up the drums but I never saw that myself. "I have a PHD in Hurtin' People" - LMAO!!!
Thank you for sharing Rest In Peace Sherry
RIP Sensational Sherri, Zeus, Macho Man, and Elizabeth.
I love me some Sherri
ArmondoeCruze88 ew
RIP always to Sheri & Zeus
Thanks for sharing this classic stuff!
Tiny did that neck slap to the very end😂
Arsensio Hall was amazing allowing wrestlers to kayfabe on his show.
Back when most people knew how to have fun
She just EXUDES natural sex appeal -- yet seems VERY gentle and kind. R.I.P. Sherri and Tommy Lister.
LOL Arsenio was being a smart mark way before the term was in regular use. "Mr. Zeus, you're a big man. But, do you have the wrestling skills...?"
She was my first wrestling crush. So beautiful, strong and a wild one.
Zeus scared the crap out of me when I was 7. He had the look. Too bad that was all he had.
The guy would sell tickets. I would've locked him up in a wrestling academy for two years before making a moving putting him out there as a wrestler. Even with experience you don't see much big guys wrestle well.
Low blows lol
He used that look and made "Deebo"
i was scared because of his eye
If it was just a look, he wouldn't have scared you. Dimwitted comment.
Imagine going out and partying with her for a night back in the day.
Zeus was scarier than the undertaker. Best era of wrestling ever. People knew it was a work, and yet everything was bought, hook, line, and sinker. Anyone talking about Zeus' lack of "muh rasslin skillz!" couldn't miss the point any farther.
R.I.P. to both of them. 🙏
