WrestleMania 15's Women's Title clash between Sable and her former stalker Tori was a chronic disappointment, not least because of Tori's extensive prior experience and Sable's status as arguably the most successful female superstar in company history at the time.

As the female face of the 'Attitude Era', Sable was front and centre as WWE became a runaway mainstream success story in the late 1990s.

Doing incredible business as the company's first ever Playboy cover star and reigning Women's Champion, there seemed little Sable could do wrong in the spring of 1999, but it turned out actually getting back in the ring to defend her title was that very thing.

Portraying a heel version of herself following the huge attention gained, Sable was hugely believable in the role, and was forced to bully Tori as per the storyline.

With her limp offence and interest in the character clearly starting to wane, Sable just wasn't believable in the role, and debutant Tori's own display was surprisingly poor.

Inheriting Nicole Bass as her bodyguard at the tail-end of the match, she picked up the anticlimactic victory with the help of her giant new accomplice.
