Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman (born November 2, 1970) is an American professional wrestling valet currently working for TNA Wrestling. She is best known for her work with the WWE until her release in 2007. She first came to prominence in the wrestling world as a member of the WCW dance troupe the Nitro Girls.
Sullivan won the Miss Black America pageant in 1991. After winning the title, Sullivan began a career in professional dance, touring with several hip hop artists and R&B bands, including a 3½ year stint with James Brown.
Sullivan joined WCW 's Nitro Girl dance troupe in December 1998 under the name Storm. When the Nitro Girls began becoming more involved in WCW storylines, she was made the valet for The Artist, re dubbing herself Paisley (to match The Artist's Prince Gimmick). As Paisley, she made her in-ring singles debut against Tammy Lynn Sytch on the April 26, 2000 edition of WCW Thunder, winning with a DDT. Following The Artist's release from WCW, Sullivan began valeting for Kwee Wee. She also formed an alliance with fellow former Nitro Girl Tygress, and the two ladies frequently double-teamed the Misfits In Action's valet Major Gunns.
While in WCW, Sullivan was also a part of the pop music group Diversity 5 with other Nitro Girls Fyre, Spice, Chae, and Tygress. In 2001, when she signed with the WWF, she was replaced in the group by Chiquita Anderson (also a Nitro Girl).
In 2001, just before WCW was bought by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Sullivan was released from WCW and signed a developmental contract with WWF with the intent of becoming a full-time in-ring performer. She was sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling to continue her training, and was made the valet for The Suicide Blondes - wearing a blonde wig and using the name Sister Sharmell. She also made some appearances on the main roster show, SmackDown!, as a backstage interviewer using her real name. Her training, however, was cut short by a knee injury, and she subsequently retired from in ring work.

My partner let me use a wrist roller called a Gripstik he had been doing at home and know i know why his grip has been noticeably stronger.Not much fun to do, but the four minutes of pain I have from doing the workout is absolutely showing me an increase in holding power. It targets the hand, wrist, and forearm and really tops off all the other workouts we do that kind of help the grip, but never really focus on thet one thing I definitely know now how to get rid of this weak line of mine.
