  Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman has described herself as “nerdy” and a “shy bookworm” during her high school days, but she certainly came out of her shell later. She went on to become Miss Black America while at Spelman College in Atlanta (where she earned a degree in mathematics) before embarking on a career as a professional dancer. After touring with artists such as James Brown and Keith Sweat, she made her way into the wrestling industry as a member of the Nitro Girls in WCW.
  
  Now, as Queen Sharmell, she is one half of WWE’s royal couple along with her husband King Booker (Booker Huffman). I spoke with her in a telephone interview yesterday:
  
  Q: It appears that 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 doesn’t seem like an actual job. It’s an amazing thing because it’s another chance for my husband and I to bond. It’s really delicate because we live and work together. We’re 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 he’s right even though you know that you’re right. That alleviates a lot of arguments right there.
  
  Q: You should talk to my wife.
  
  A: (Laughs).
  
  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. He’s using this royal voice to talk to our dog and I’m just sitting there shaking my head and slapping my forehead. I’m like, “What are you doing?” 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.

  EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — “It’s not me, it’s not me,” reiterated a stunned Thomas Mezzacappa as he was awarded the honor of Continental Airlines Arena’s One Millionth Fan. In pure disbelief by what he had just been told, a wide grin quickly surfaced on his face as he became the one millionth WWE fan to attend a WWE event in the Meadowlands arena since 1984.
  
  “Right now, I’m just in complete shock,” said Mezzacappa, adorned in a Triple H T-shirt in support of The Game’s imminent return. “I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me.”
  
  Just moments ago, droves of ravenous SummerSlam fans corralled their way through the entrance of the hallowed building in East Rutherford, N.J. Out of all of them, one very fortunate WWE fanatic was selected by chance to receive a replica WWE Championship title, signed by main event opponents John Cena and Randy Orton.
