[edit] Her Age

The validity of Sable's age has often come into question numerous times over the years, most especially when she made her return to World Wrestling Entertainment in 2003 looking drastically older in comparison to her previous tenure in WWE. Several observers find it hard to believe that Sable is legitimately the age she claims to be as she looks somewhat older facially than the majority of women born in 1967. Most people unaware of her age often presume her to be well into her forties. Several people found it hard to believe that she was legitimately 35 years old when she made her return to WWE in 2003. However, she's been involved in enough legal proceedings in which she had to reveal her birthdate, and she has always listed it as taking place on August 8, 1967.

Also, Sable's age has often been a source of mean-spirited jokes and insults amongst the Internet Wrestling Community. During her second tenure in WWE, the nickname in which she was most often referred to by the IWC was "Grandma Sable." She would often be juxtaposed as an "over the hill stripper" or as someone who would fit in better with the likes of The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young as opposed to the other WWE Divas. She was labeled by the majority of the IWC as being "past her prime" during her second tenure and that many of current day Divas had passed her by. Some observers even found her to be a bit "too old" for the younger crowd as the majority of the WWE bikini contests in which she participated in took place during house shows - and the majority of the house show attendees are often children - thus making it awkward for some of them to cheer on someone old enough to be their mother. Additionally, her age is often a topic of discussion when her relationship with Brock Lesnar is brought up considering that she is approximately 10 years older than him. She's been frequently teased as being his mother.

The insults regarding her age haven't just been limited to the IWC as two of her fellow colleagues have gone on record as well. On an episode of WWF Livewire in the fall of 1996, Tammy Sytch made a spontaneous shoot comment in which she noted how wrinkled up her face supposedly was. Sable was only 29 years old at the time. Shortly after her return to WWE in April of 2003, Dustin Rhodes made an off-the-cuff remark on WWE Byte This in which he said that she "looked old." Rhodes' sordid comment actually made its way into a print advertisement for Byte This in an issue of Raw Magazine. On the opposite page of the advertisement was an unrelated picture of Sable from a photo shoot.

On the flip side, some people find her sexy, "older woman" vibe to be rather appealing. Stacy Keibler has been quoted as saying that she hopes to look as good Sable does when she is her age. A columnist for Pro Wrestling Illustrated once referred to her as a "hot mom" in a column. Also, Sable has been often referred to by fans as a prime example of a MILF.

[edit] Good article nomination

I nominated this article for good article status. I've worked on it a lot, adding in-text citations and making the prose clear and flowing. It has been fairly stable, considering that Mero has stayed out of the spotlight since exiting World Wrestling Entertainment. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Her last name

I'm almost too scared to ask, but her last name was originally Greek - but I'm guessing she isn't, actually, Greek? It's such an odd last name. Mad Jack 08:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Or is this not actually her last name? Just a prank? Someone added it today Mad Jack 08:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Another name issue: Why is she called Rena Mero in this article when her former husband Marc Mero is called Marc Merowitz in his. Wouldn't that make her Rena Merowitz? Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 19:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

This stuff is really confusing given the nature of names in professional wrestling, but using the "Rena Mero" name seems best for this article, as per WP:MOS#Identity. --Jtalledo (talk) 21:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure the article should be called that way, but what about the first line? Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 22:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moves

I have removed snap suplex from Sables move list. I have seen almost every match she ever competed in and she never used it. She did not receive never training to be able to execute it. It maybe confused with Torrie Wilson who frequently delivers the move. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.44.250.83 (talk) 02:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
