10 Things You Didn't Know About WCW In 1999

4. Sable Appeared On Nitro

There have been arguments put forth online that Vince McMahon was interested in making the team of Marc Mero and Sable like Randy Savage and Miss. Elizabeth for a new generation. Upon their debut in the federation, Mero and Sable had an altogether more suggestive vibe to their outfits and demeanour, but that wouldn't last long. Pretty quickly, Sable gave up the leather and started wearing classier dresses, whilst Mero began donning robes. It may be coincidence, but even listening to McMahon on commentary gave the impression that he liked the concept of a more distinguished and classy couple on his broadcasts again. Before too long however, Sable would start to outshine her man, becoming a much bigger star in the WWF than Mero would ever be. Suddenly, the sex appeal was back, and the woman even later posed for Playboy. Departing the WWF in 1999 over a sexual harassment lawsuit, Sable would shockingly show up on an episode of Monday Nitro in June, and was mentioned on-air. There were never really any serious talks about a run for the Diva in the company, but it would have been quite the coup had WCW been able to convince Sable to join them, it's hard to reinforce just how big a name she was in the late-90's.
