An Interview with Queen Sharmell
The Baltimore Sun recently interviewed Queen Sharmell...
Q: It appears that King Booker and you are really having a lot of fun playing the King and Queen. What is it like for you?
A: It is so much fun, and when you have fun doing your job, it doesnât seem like an actual job. Itâs an amazing thing because itâs another chance for my husband and I to bond. Itâs really delicate because we live and work together. Weâre around each other 24/7, so the fact that we are having so much fun just makes it all the better. Otherwise it would be a huge disaster.
Q: You mentioned being around each other all the time. The wrestling business is tough on marriages because guys are on the road and away from home so much, but you alluded to the fact that traveling together has it positives and negatives.
A: Exactly. And sometimes it does get tough. But the thing is, we keep everything in perspective. Our job is our job, but our marriage is our marriage. We put each other first, and we make sure that we totally respect each other. I also have a little hint for all the women out there: Just let the man think that heâs right even though you know that youâre right. That alleviates a lot of arguments right there.
Q: Does Booker ever slip into character around the house and become King Booker?
A: Oh, my gosh, almost every other second of the day. Heâs using this royal voice to talk to our dog and Iâm just sitting there shaking my head and slapping my forehead. Iâm like, âWhat are you doing?â But that goes back to he loves it so much. This is his passion and this is a great character. He loves portraying King Booker. We just have a lot of fun with it.
