Sable
The original Diva
Although women competed for decades in WWE rings before her, Sable is considered by many as a pioneer. Behind her amazing
athleticism and spine-jarring Sable Bomb, the blonde bombshell became the sixteenth Women's Champion in WWE history. Despite
her impressive in-ring accolades, however, Sable will be long remembered for being the first of many beautiful WWE Divas to
pose nude in Playboy.
Sable's earliest WWE days were spent by the side of Hunter Hearst Helmsley, but when he began to mistreat the fair-haired
Diva, her husband, Marc Mero, ran to her aid. For the better part of the next two years, the loving couple shared a strong bond
both on and off the air.
By 1998, the spotlight began to shine brightest on Sable, leaving Marc's star to fade. Jealous of his wife's popularity, Mero
tried everything in his power to dim her bright career and hide her voluptuous curves. His attempts eventually backfired when
Sable escaped from his grasp, delivering a Sable Bomb in the process.
Sable then went on to achieve never-before-seen success. Her first step toward greatness was capturing the Women's Championship
from Mero's new lady, Jacqueline. In the months that followed, the new champ rode her popularity all the way to Hollywood, landing
guest roles on a few television programs such as Pacific Blue, Relic Hunter and First Wave.
Sable's inevitable break into mainstream came when she landed the cover of Playboy in April 1999. The overwhelming
success of her nude spread led to two more covers, but more importantly, helped pave the way for future Divas. Sable made a
shocking return to WWE in 2003, when she was featured in another Playboy spread — this time with Torrie Wilson.
Whether she is remembered as the Diva of WWE Divas or a Playboy cover girl, one thing is certain: Sable was a
pioneer and broke new ground for the Sexiest Women on Television. That may be her greatest legacy.
