After two years of mostly playing a mild-mannered damsel, WrestleMania 14 was going to be Sable's night to shine as an actual wrestler. She would perform in a mixed-tag match with then-husband Marc Mero against Goldust and Luna Vachon. The veteran Vachon was being counted on to make the overwhelmingly-popular Sable look like a comic book heroine at her own expense.

Vachon would later claim in an interview that she was told that if she had bruised or scratched her statuesque opponent, she'd have been let go. Vachon also lamented that Sable didn't want to go through the rigors of crash-course training (learning to bump, to distribute one's weight properly for moves, etc) for the match, making her job even more difficult.

Vachon did note, however, that one person in particular sincerely commended her on a job well done, and that was Owen Hart. Nobody else, per her claim, took a moment to thank or congratulate her for making Sable look better than she was.
