Before she retired to Brock Lesnar's farm in the 2000s, Sable was one of the hottest acts in all of wrestling in 1998-99.

Despite her poor acting skills and limited in-ring ability, Sable's dazzling looks catapulted her to the top of the industry.

Sable made her debut in WWE at Wrestlemania XII in March 1996, accompanying Triple H to the ring for his match with The Ultimate Warrior. She then began managing her then real-life husband Marc Mero before she became an important character in her own right in late 1997 as she split on-screen from Mero when she overshadowed him in popularity.

Her in-ring debut shortly followed at Wrestlemania XIV. Luna Vachon made Sable look like a Superstar, carrying her inexperienced foe to a top-class performance in the famous mixed tag team match, in which Sable partnered with Mero against Goldust and Vachon.

Sable won the re-activated Women's Championship at the 1998 Survivor Series in a decent effort versus champion and WWE Hall of Famer, Jacqueline. Her reign lasted until May 1999, when she was stripped of the belt, live on television in 1999's version of the Montreal Screwjob. Ironically, Shawn Michaels was involved once again as the then Commissioner reversed the finish of a bout which Sable had just won over Debra.

Sable left the company shortly afterward and filed a lawsuit against WWE, leaving on extremely bad terms.

Sable surprisingly returned in 2003 for a short-lived run as a non-wrestling character before disappearing from the limelight completely in 2004.

Sable's star power was rivaled only by Stone Cold, The Rock, and Bill Goldberg during her 1998-99 peak and for that reason alone, she is worth her spot in the Hall of Fame.
