10 Things You Didn’t Know About WWE In 1999

9. Nicole Bass Got Harassed€Like, A Lot

Few may remember Nicole Bass, the amazon-like powerhouse (or a poor man€™s Chyna, if you will) who served as Sable€™s bodyguard in 1999. The partnership was short-lived, as she joined Sable at Wrestlemania 15 and Sable left the WWF two months later. On Sable€™s last night on Raw, Commissioner Shawn Michaels told Bass to €œstep off, mister.€ Apparently, a woman as big as Bass still had feelings, and she was extremely upset by Michaels€™s offhand comment. To be fair, Shawn looked completely wasted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8YXes4-OyQ Bass€™s harassment wasn€™t confined to on-camera, allegedly. She quit the WWF and filed a lawsuit claiming sexual harassment by Steve Lombardi, aka the Brooklyn Brawler. The case went to court in 2003 and was ultimately dismissed.
