Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Sharmell Huffman has spoke of how much she is enjoying the work of the Funkadacytls, Cameron and Naomi.
Sharmell, who began her career as a WCW Nitro Girl dancer, recently spoke to HoustonWrestlingRadio.com and praised the work of Brodus Clay’s cohorts, who have started their careers in a similar fashion.
The ‘Queen’ said: “I look at them and I’m like ‘Hey, that’s what I’m talking about!’ These girls are out there jamming, they’re dancing but it’s wrestling and it’s amazing. They guys enjoy it, it’s entertaining, so I definitely feel that it has a purpose. I think that they are doing a great job! I love the costumes, I love the dancing!”
The wife of SmackDown General Manager Booker T also had praise for Michelle McCool, who recently talked about working with Sharmell in an interview on her official website.
Sharmell said of McCool: “Michelle is such an amazing person. I talk or text with her almost everyday. I love her to death! Little know fact, Michelle is the godmother to our twins. So we are really, really very, very close. The first day I met her, we just clicked; I just knew that this was somebody who I would be a life-long friend with.
“She’s an amazing person, she’s an incredible athlete, she’s beautiful inside and out, she’s the best friend anybody could ever ask for! I (knew) she’s going to be an amazing mother. And now lo and behold, Michelle’s a mom and she’s a wonderful mom. It’s almost not fair; she’s gorgeous, she’s sweet, she’s athletic, she’s talented you know it’s just crazy, she’s just the perfect package. She’ll be in my life forever and in Booker’s life forever.”
In addition, Sharmell also discussed at whether we could see her rejoining her husband on WWE TV in a cameo role.
She said: “I think it would be great. I would love to do a cameo. I loved the whole King Booker/ Queen Sharmell gimmick. I loved working side by side with my husband. and i loved the other people I worked with too; it was really a family situation. So I would love to go back and make a cameo. I still love entertainment and I definitely love sports entertainment. So we’ll see, you know; never say never.”
Sharmell also talked about the state of women’s wrestling today, her role as General Manager of Booker’s ROW promotion and she further reminisced on her debut in the business as Paisley in WCW.

I also remember at one point last year or 2011, WWE had the most Black woman on the roster then they ever had, including FCW. Thats a amazing

Sharmell was the first woman I really loved in the WWE, she was and is awesome.
I am still waiting for the day we will see her return to WWE TV, and a cameo here and there would be awesome! I loved her character, especially with her feud against the Boogeyman!!!
Love the fact she is behind the girls – Cameron and Naomi have something really special, Naomi has the athleticism and wrestling ability, while Cameron oozes charisma and from what we saw in FCW is great on the mic.
Nice to hear back from Sharmell and fingers crossed for a possible return or at least a cameo. :D :D

Sharmell was always a great character. Even when all she was doing was those backstage segments prepping Booker T for his matches, she was very natural in front of the camera. I felt she was always good on commentary, how about it?

she was released while injured…doesn’t matter what year she would have been awesome,molly gave her praise calling her the female rock…

Sharmell is very charismatic and I would have loved to see her play a more prominent role back in 2002. I know she was training and got injured then released, which was a shame. She could have been a great character and a Women’s Champion no doubt. It was a welcomed surprise to see her show up again as Queen Sharmell. Although not wrestling, she was always entertaining and I’m happy that she got a small yet, successful run.
