Sable

Biography

Before coming into the World Wrestling Federation Sable worked as a model and in fact she says that if she was not in the WWF she would still be modeling now as well as pursuing a career in acting.

She was first seen in the WWF at Wrestlemania 12 in 1996 when she accompanied Hunter Hearst Helmsley to ringside for his match with The Ultimate Warrior. Before she even stepped into the WWF she accompanied her real life husband, Marc Mero, when he went to meet Vince McMahon. Mero wanted Sable to be his manager in the WWF and Vince agreed as he felt that a face like Sable's just had to be put on TV! How right he was! After her first appearance in the WWF with Hunter Hearst Helmsley at Wrestlemania, Hunter blamed Sable for the loss and Marc Mero came to Sable's rescue.

The next night on Raw, Sable's status as Mero's manager was solidified. In real life Mero and Sable had been together long before they came to the WWF. They met in a bar under strange circumstances! Mero was with Page Falkenburg (Diamond Dallas Page) and Marcus (Buff) Bagwell at the time. Rena (Sable) was sitting at another table. Bagwell dared Mero to give the beautiful lady on the next table (Sable) his best pick up line! The two wrestlers met at In Your House 8: Beware of Dog, and Helmsley, still being punished by the WWF for the 'Kliq incident' at MSG, lost the match.

The next month Mero lost in the King of the Ring Semi-Final to Steve Austin. Sable was much more involved in the next angle Mero was a part of. Sable was stalked by first Goldust and then Marlena and even Mankind for a number of months which eventually led to a Mero vs. Goldust match at Summerslam. This was a match which Mero lost and in which Mankind scared the living daylights out of Sable! Sable played a small role in Mero's next angle with Mr. Perfect and Hunter Hearst Helmsley . Mero won the Intercontinental title in 1996 and dedicated the victory to Sable. However he lost it about three weeks later to Helmsley.

Signs of Sable getting some attention of her own began to show in January 1997. She was involved in a mid-ring argument with Mero on a live edition of Shotgun Saturday Night, Rocky Maivia came out to comfort her but then he was attacked by Mero! Following the argument a change came over Sable and she became much more aggressive.

In a match between Mero and The Undertaker , Sable attacked The Undertaker on a number of occasions with kicks.

Following The Undertaker incident, rumors began that Sable was about to become the new manager of the man from the darkside. However this never happened. Who will ever forget the 1997 Slammy Awards?! It was here that Sable took a huge step towards becoming a star. She picked up two awards, 'Dressed to Kill' and 'Miss Slammy'.

Nobody will ever forget that VERY revealing swimsuit Sable wore in the Miss Slammy competition! Only two other people picked up more than one award that night... Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. Yet it was not The Undertaker or even Michaels who came out as the biggest star of the show... it was Sable!

In October 1997, with Marc Mero's knee injury fully heeled, Sable returned full time to WWF television. Although she continued to play a minor role for the rest of 1997, this very talented lady was bound to go to the top in 1998 and a feud with Luna early in the year was a major turning point in that journey.
