10 Times WWE Completely Misunderstood Sexuality
6. Sable & Torrie Wilson
Q: What bees produce lesbian pollen?
A: Boobies.
You're welcome to steal that should you have a wrestling fan over for Christmas Dinner and the cracker joke isn't up to snuff. But Sable and Torrie's breasts were legitmately the lynchpin for which an absurd flirtation storyline was built around between 2003 and 2004.
Cynically, it looked as though Vince McMahon was taking some revenge for the pain in the a*se lawsuit Sable briefly sent his way in 1999. At the time, she'd alleged (amongst other things) to being ostracised for not wishing to take part in salacious storylines. Her return saw her immediately channeled into this fatal attraction angle then join Wilson for a shared Playboy cover the following year.
Again simply filed as 'mind games', she tried to get into Torrie's head and two-piece, before Wilson flipped the script and responded in kind. After some useless matches here and there, the empty titillation ultimately resulted in a friendly enough relationship on SmackDown whilst Sable spun off into an illicit relationship with Vince McMahon.
The two reconvened for an awful Playboy Evening Gown match against Raw divas Stacy Keibler and Jackie Moore at 2004's WrestleMania 20, with their flirtation normalised to such a degree that countless young female fans were almost certainly sexually confused, repressed or antagonised as a result.
