Marc Mero has made a strong case for Sable‘s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, arguing that her impact on the women’s division came at a time when opportunities were limited.
Speaking on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion reflected on Sable’s influence during WWE’s Attitude Era.
“She did something for the women’s division when they didn’t really have a women’s division so much back then at all,” Mero said. “She brought eyes to the channels. The ratings and everything were very high because of her.”
Sable rose to prominence in the late 1990s, transitioning from a traditional valet role to an in-ring competitor and eventually capturing the WWE Women’s Championship. Her popularity helped draw mainstream attention, even as the division itself remained limited compared to modern standards.
Despite her visibility, Sable has yet to receive Hall of Fame recognition. Mero suggested her absence is not tied to her legal dispute with WWE in 1999, when she filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions. The case was settled out of court two months later.
Sable would later return to WWE in 2003, remaining with the company until August 10, 2004, before stepping away to focus on family life.
Marc Mero & Sable’s Personal History
Away from the ring, her personal life has also drawn attention over the years. After marrying Marc Mero in 1994, with Mero also adopting her daughter from a previous marriage, the pair separated in 2004. She later began a relationship with Brock Lesnar, whom she married in 2006, and the couple will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on May 6.
Mero has remarried twice since his divorce from Sable.
