10 Wrestlers Who Married Their Fans
3. Sable (Brock Lesnar)
The same goes for none other than Brock Lesnar.
He was the one who pursued Sable, and the pair began dating even before Rena's divorce to Marc Mero had been finalised in 2004. Hilariously, Marc once told Steve Austin's podcast that he was ready to fight this mystery new lover who had stolen his wife's affections. Then he found out it was Brock and Mero cooled off.
Lesnar and Sable had a tumultuous first year or so together. She broke things off, but Brock convinced her to give it another shot - he wrote in his 2012 book 'Death Clutch' (released right before he returned to WWE) that he was determined to marry Rena and had been a big fan.
Brock had admired her from afar before breaking into the WWE system. He signed a developmental deal in 2000, but Lesnar had been on the company's radar for a few years before that. So, if he'd checked out any TV, then he would've clapped eyes on Sable.
Nobody would call Brock a fanboy to his face though.
