In 1998, Sable competed in her first official match when she joined forces with Marc Mero to defeat Vachon and Goldust at WrestleMania 14. Vachon later claimed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon threatened to fire her if she bruised or scratched her debuting opponent.
Russo, WWE’s former head writer, spoke on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast about the real-life animosity between both women. He also revealed that Sable’s then-husband Marc Mero and Vachon’s then-husband Gangrel often had to intervene:
Sable was not the only female star to receive heat from Vachon. Russo said in the same interview that he once had to prevent the 2019 Hall of Fame inductee from attacking Sunny backstage.
Vince Russo clarifies why Luna Vachon disliked Sable in WWE
Luna Vachon’s family began working in the wrestling business in the 1950s. For that reason, she took the industry seriously and allegedly disliked women who received pushes based on their looks.
Vince Russo added that Vachon did not necessarily have a problem with Sable, but she “hated” her character’s presentation:
Vachon passed away in 2010 at the age of 48 following a drug overdose. Her former rival Sable is married to Brock Lesnar and has not been associated with wrestling since 2007.
