Although many fans believe Sherri debuted in the WWF in 1987 and won the WWF Women's Championship from Fabulous Moolah in her first match for the company, that isn't true. Sherri worked for the WWF in 1982 and appeared on several televised and house shows. She was a member of Moolah's troupe of female wrestlers that worked the Northeast circuit at the time.
During her WWF stint in 1982, she competed in singles and tag team matches with Moolah, Judy Martin, and Penny Mitchell; including a match against Moolah for the WWF Women's Championship.
She also worked as a valet for "Playboy" Buddy Rose (whom she would manage a few years later in AWA). Long before The Godfather had his Hoes or Flash Funk (2 Cold Scorpio) had his Funkettes, Rose had his Playgirls that came to ringside with him and pampered him before matches (similar to the role that Cherie Dupre played for Gorgeous George decades earlier). In the match in this video, Sherri and Judy Martin work as Rose's Playgirls.
