Jim Cornette has told the story before, revealing that Vince McMahon and other WWF officials were completely enamoured with Rena 'Sable' Mero upon meeting her. Marc had brought his then-wife to a meeting set up to discuss his new role in the company.

What wasn't known before is that Mero did so because he feared the impact being away on the road could have on his marriage. Telling Vince McMahon that his only major request was to fly Rena around with him, Marc indirectly introduced one of the biggest female stars in WWE history to the boss. There was no looking back afterwards.

Once McMahon met Rena, he envisioned the character of Sable. Quickly, Sable would go on to become a bigger star than her husband, but it's something Mero himself claims he has no regrets over. For him, fame in wrestling was temporary, but he thought he'd be married to Rena forever.
