10 Real-Life WWE Feuds That Were Too Hot For TV
5. Sunny Vs. Sable
Regarding Parts Unknown, that was the destination for WWE's foray into the adult magazine industry when Rena Mero, aka Sable, became the first woman in the WWF to appear on the cover of Playboy. The gig was first offered to WWE's first diva Sunny, aka Tammy Sytch, but Sytch declined the offer.
Rena gained immense fame and popularity when her cover issue sold a record number of copies, which only added fuel to the fire that burned furiously in the Sunny vs. Sable rivalry.
The two women had incredible heat with each other when competing for the company's top female spot. In addition, both women garnered negative reputations backstage, whether it was Sable's attitude or Sunny's, ahem, locker room performances. Throw in Marlena and later Chyna, and the WWF's women's scene in the mid-to-late '90s was as competitive as ever before. Backstage, at least.
While Sable eventually transitioned into an in-ring performer, Sunny did not. This, coupled with their legitimate disdain for one another, prevented the WWF from capitalizing on what would've been an incredibly hot feud. While the evening gown matches do not age well, Sable vs. Luna and Sable vs. Jacqueline were incredibly popular programs.
Fans can only imagine how hot Sunny vs. Sable would've been, had the feud made it to the television screen.
