Sharmell to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022​

As first announced by Complex.com, Sharmell will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022 and will be enshrined in the hallowed hall during the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony as part of WrestleMania Week.

The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will take place Friday, April 1, at American Airlines Center in Dallas as part of WrestleMania Week. The event will stream live, exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and WWE Network everywhere else. In addition, for the first time in history, WWE will present both Friday Night SmackDown and the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony live on the same night at American Airlines Center, giving all fans in attendance an unprecedented opportunity to witness both events for one price.

While she may be a former Miss Black America, winning 1991 Miss Black America Pageant at age 20, Sharmell was never just another pretty face. Behind that beauty stood an extremely cunning mind, and Sharmell was not afraid to do whatever it took to help her husband, Booker T, succeed in the squared circle and achieve success of her own.

Sharmell came to prominence during her time in WCW, first under the name Storm before eventually redefining herself as Paisley. As a member of The Nitro Girls, she soon became a competitor and accompanied other competitors to the ring.

After signing with WWE and training in OVW in 2001, Sharmell donned a blonde wig and added her special brand of talent to The Suicide Blondes as Sister Sharmell. She also became a backstage interviewer.

Perhaps her greatest contribution in WWE, though, was her association with real-life husband Booker T. Accompanying Booker to the ring, Sharmell made quite a splash when she began interfering in her spouse’s matches. Although the fan-favorite Booker feigned innocence at first, the charade was eventually broken, and the WWE Universe learned what a mastermind the lovely Sharmell really was.

When Booker T won the King of the Ring Tournament in 2006, he started referring to himself as King Booker, and inevitably, his bride became Queen Sharmell. Together the pair began using faux English accents and carried a superior attitude, becoming the couple that the fans simply loved to loathe. When King Booker defeated Rey Mysterio at The Great American Bash to become the new World Champion, Queen Sharmell and Booker T took their place on the top of the mountain.​

Wild lmao I never would have expected this one. She was lowkey great tho even back in WCW, so I've got no complaints. No point in stacking this class with Taker going in anyway

it's already stacked with Vader as far as I'm concerned

As sad as it is, most people that have already passed away lose a lot of luster for the actual induction outside of a few exceptions who's family members killed the speech themselves. That induction video package for them is where it's at tho

I don’t know why you wouldn’t induct Michelle mccool considering she deserves it and obviously Taker is going in. Sharmell
is really meh to me. She had a super short career in WWE and was never more than a valet. I don’t really know why she’d go in before a million other women lmao but I’m never gonna be mad at someone for getting honored. I’m sure she’s thrilled and that’s all that matters.

Exactly. I would’ve loved to see Vader make a speech. He probably has so many amazing stories. The fact that we can’t have that now takes away from his HoF induction a lot. As fucked up as this sounds WWE probably inducted him this year on purpose to give Undertaker more time to make his speech.

TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION
They're going to have to license footage from Impact again to show her most legendary moment

Anyway, if the thought process is to put smaller names in so Taker can have an hour a half speech, I’m ok with that.

Yeah I have no problem with this one. I think she's always been a pretty solid performer and a bit of a breakaway considering she started as a Nitro Girl. Think she was a key part in Booker's act during his King Booker run.
