The original WWE Diva, Sable was one of the top faces of the Attitude Era. The incredibly popular star became the first women in WWE history to pose for Playboy in 1999, leading to one of the best-selling issues in the magazine's run. In a world where wrestling was truly in demand, Sable was the sport's queen.

In 1999, though, she abruptly left the company, then filed a lawsuit against WWE for $110 million. In the lawsuit, she alleged that she was subjected to sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions; among other things, male wrestlers would spy on female wrestlers in the locker room, either by walking in "accidentally" or by cutting holes in the walls. She also said that she was repeatedly asked to go topless on TV, despite refusing every time. Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman also admitted that he put faeces in Sable's bag.

Sable's lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount and she would return to the company a few years later - hopefully her experience was better the second time around.
