Wrestling veteran Vince Russo revealed why Luna Vachon hated Sable
One of the most polarizing names in wrestling is Vince Russo. During an episode of the Hannibal TV Podcast, Vince Russo revealed that Vachon had real-life heat with Brock Lesnar’s wife, Sable. He mentioned that the reason behind the heat was that Sable was an inexperienced wrestler.
“She didn’t hate Rena Mero [Sable’s real name]. Rena Mero was a sweetheart of a person. She hated, ‘Oh my gosh, this beautiful woman who didn’t know how to wrestle and learned how to wrestle in a couple of months.’ Luna hated the idea of that.” [H/T Sportskeeda Wrestling]
Russo also mentioned that Sable’s first husband, Marc Mero, had to get involved to protect his ex-wife.
“Luna hated Sable and literally Mero had to protect Sable from Luna, but he didn’t do it in a way where he was being disrespectful to Luna. He did it in a very smart way. Even Gangrel, I’m telling you, between Gangrel and Mero, they had to kind of relax Luna and settle Luna down because Luna hated Sable just because of what she represented,” stated Vince Russo.
