18 WWE Attitude Era Midcarders That Deserve Hall Of Fame

3. Sable

Sable's contributions to the Attitude Era are immeasurable. A blonde bombshell who captured the attention of fans from the moment she arrived in 1996, the shift to an edgier and more sexual product allowed her star to grow exponentially, to the point that she became a much bigger name than her husband, Marc Mero, with whom she feuded on-screen. Determined not to stand in his shadow, Sable broke out, proving to be a strong woman completely in touch with her sex appeal. A beautiful woman, she would smile and wave to the audience, but was not opposed to showing her body off when the time was right.

Whether she was guiding boys through puberty in soaking wet swimsuits or mixing it up with Luna and Jacqueline in Evening Gown matches (in which she ended up in her bra and panties), she was among the most popular performers on the roster. Sable was as integral to the success of the Attitude Era as Steve Austin, The Rock and D-Generation X. She brought that sex appeal that interested members of the all-important 18-35 male demographic. Suddenly, young men wearing nWo t-shirts switched over from WCW to see the gorgeous woman stripping down to the bare essentials and catfighting with her fellow Divas.

It was an effective strategy by head writer Vince Russo to use her to lore that age group to the shows. So popular was she that Hugh Hefner reached out to WWE to have Sable grace the cover of Playboy magazine. And she did, in one of the best-selling issues ever. With everything she meant to shifting the balance of power to Vince McMahon and his merry band of rebels during the Monday Night Wars, not inducting her would be an injustice.
