Sable is a former WWE Diva that forever changed the role of women in the wrestling world. Sable used her sex appeal to help usher in the WWE's Attitude Era in the late '90s. She became the first WWE Diva to appear on the cover of Playboy Magazine.
Personal Info:
Rena Lesnar (born Rena Greek) was born in Jacksonville, Florida on August 8, 1967. She married Wayne Richardson in 1986 and they had a child, Mariah, together. Wayne was killed in an automobile accident in 1991. From 1994 - 2004, she was married to Mark Mero. In 2006, she married Brock Lesnar.
Modeling Career:
Prior to entering the world of professional wrestling, she was a model for Guess Jeans, Pepsi and L'Oreal. Her start in the world of wrestling began in 1996 when her then-husband Mark Mero joined the WWE.
Valet for Triple H:
In 1996, Triple H had a gimmick where he was accompanied to the ring by a different valet every night. At WrestleMania XII, he was accompanied to the ring by Sable. He lost that match to the Ultimate Warrior in less than a minute and blamed Sable for that loss. In the interview area, he verbally berated Sable who was eventually saved by Mark Mero who also was making his first WWE appearance. For the next few years, she was in Mero's corner.
Mark Becomes Jealous:
When Mark was put out of action for several months, Sable began to model various WWE merchandise. She quickly became one of the top stars in the WWE. When Mark returned from injury, he became jealous of her booming popularity and in an effort to make the fans stop caring about her he once made her wear a potato sack to the ring. He eventually turned on her and joined forces with Luna.
Playboy Model:
In 1999, Sable appeared on the cover of Playboy Magazine. A few months later, she quit the WWE and filed a $110 million breach of contract suit against the WWE. She appeared on the cover of Playboy again a few months later and even had a special magazine dedicated to her. She became the first person to appear on the cover of a Playboy publication three times in the same year. For the next few years she did some acting, most notably she appeared in Corky Romano.
