25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History
19. Sable
On his 'Something To Wrestle' podcast, Bruce Prichard spoke in glowing terms about an incidental moment that occurred between Sable and Stone Cold Steve Austin during a 1998 edition of Monday Night Raw. Then under the blackmailed employ of Vince McMahon, Sable exited the ring as Austin entered, with the pair briefly sharing a look that generated as much excitement behind the scenes as it did from a rapturous live crowd.
It came to nothing in storylines, but it was almost as if the company had inadvertently stumbled on the Era's 'Mega Powers' handshake a decade after the original. Sable was that big a deal.
Her relatively short stint as the female face of 'Attitude' betrays the immense support she'd amassed since breaking away from real-life husband Marc Mero early in 1998. Fantastic at little but passable at much, she was exactly the right person at the right time for the vixen-cum-warrior WWE were in need of to reintroduce their Women's Title. White hot crowd responses for over a year cemented her placement.
