Okay, so let’s talk about this whole Vince McMahon and Sable thing. I mean, where do I even begin? I was digging around the internet, just trying to piece together what their deal was.
So, first off, I started looking into who Sable even is, right? Turns out her real name’s Rena. Not gonna lie, had no idea. Anyway, from what I gathered, she was a pretty big deal in WWE back in the day, like a major star. She was married to some dude named Wayne W. Richardson for a few years, had a daughter named Mariah with him. Stuff happened, and they split.
Then comes the juicy part. Back in 1999, Sable, or Rena, decided to sue WWE. I read that she was talking about sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions. Like, that’s heavy stuff. Now, Vince McMahon, being the big boss, filed a countersuit about the rights to the name “Sable”. Who knew a name could cause so much drama? They ended up settling outside of court in August of ’99. She kept her name. I guess that means something good came out of it all.
After the whole legal mess, I stumbled upon some info about Vince McMahon himself. This guy’s been in the wrestling world forever. His dad was a wrestling promoter, and Vince started as an announcer in the 70s. Fast forward to now, he’s still involved with WWE through this company called TKO. I tried to understand the business side of it, with Endeavor and TKO Group Holdings, but honestly, it’s a bit of a maze. All I know is Vince still has a piece of the pie, less than 5% of TKO stock as of September 2024.
There’s also this whole thing about Sable’s rivalry with Vince’s daughter. I couldn’t find a ton of details, but it sounds like there was some real heat there. Oh, and somewhere along the line, Sable ended up marrying Brock Lesnar. Like, what a wild ride, right?
My Thoughts
- Research: Started by looking up who Sable is and her history with WWE.
- Legal Battle: Delved into Sable’s lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon’s countersuit.
- Vince’s Background: Explored Vince McMahon’s history in wrestling and his current involvement with TKO.
- Personal Life: Briefly touched on Sable’s marriage to Wayne W. Richardson and her relationship with Brock Lesnar.
- Rivalry: Noted the mention of a rivalry between Sable and Vince McMahon’s daughter.
Man, this whole Vince McMahon and Sable story is way more complicated than I thought. There’s wrestling, lawsuits, family drama, and business deals all mixed together. It’s like a soap opera, but with body slams and powerbombs. I’m just glad I could piece some of it together and share it with you all. Hope it made some sense!
