The Sick World of Women's Wrestling... EXPOSED! The sick world of women's wrestling
Now the sexy blonde, who sparked the quickest sellout of any "Playboy" issue when she posed last April, is ripping the lid off the top secret, sleazy world of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and lady's wrestling. Sable, whose real name is Rena Mero, has slammed the WWF with a whopping $110 million no-holds-barred lawsuit. She feared other wrestlers would attack and disfigure her -- and was terrified of showering with them. And she's furious that her bosses wanted her to go topless during one match! Both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, vulgarity and sexual abuse is flagrant, charges Sable. In shocking court papers, she disclosed: "Men would routinely walk into the women's dressing room as if by accident; men would cut holes in the walls to watch the women dressing; extras were hired as WWF regulars to expose their breasts, big nipple contests were engaged in; men regularly bragged about their sexual encounters without regard to the women present." A happily married mom, Sable says she was especially outraged when WWF execs requested her to participate in a lesbian story line. But the ultimate outrage came just a few weeks ago, she says, when officials asked her to have her gown ripped off to expose her breasts by "mistake" during a TV match watched by millions of children. She says WWF owner Vince McMahon called her a "prima donna" for refusing. She was stripped of her championship -- and then forced to endure the sexual taunts of WWF commentators before a nationwide TV audience. In court papers, she revealed the shocking remarks: "Do you think she is horizontally accessible?" "She is accessible every which way from what I hear." And when the camera focused on Sable holding a microphone, a WWF announcer said to the audience of millions: "She certainly seems comfortable with that microphone up at her mouth like that." The 5-foot-6 fan favorite became a favorite target of several jealous lady wrestlers. Outside the ring, the beauty has reportedly had confrontations with other gal grapplers including Sunny (Tammy Sytch), Luna (Luna Heath), Chyna (Joanie Lee) and Debra (Debra Marshall) -- who was awarded the championship after Sable's downfall. "Sable feared that these girls or others would gang up and attack her," an insider told The ENQUIRER. "She feared taking a shower after matches -- and sometimes would shower back at the hotel." Not only did other wrestlers threaten her with bodily harm, they drove home the message with taunts -- and an obscene reminder of their feelings. Sable was stunned to find her travel bag smeared with feces to underscore the threats. Sable also says she was threatened with having her face bitten to disfigure her and ruin her career. The beauty was especially fearful of her ring nemesis Sunny -- who was arrested last February 5 and spent two days in jail for violating a restraining order intended to keep her from harming her own mother. Sunny was released by the WWF but has publicly stated that if she ever gets back into the ring, she'd like to kick Sable's butt -- for real! "I would put her in her place like the company should have done a long time ago," Sunny said. "I can beat the crap out of a lot of men, and Sable would be exposed for what she really is -- absolutely nothing." Sable isn't the first lady wrestler to charge sexual harassment. In 1994, fired wrestling announcer "Missy" Hyatt slammed the WWF's competition -- Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling (WCW) -- with a federal sexual harassment complaint. But even Missy blasted Sable -- telling The ENQUIRER that the blonde bombshell's lawsuit is "sour grapes." "Sable wanted to keep her belt but she didn't want to wrestle," huffed Missy. "She didn't want to get hurt." In fact, Sable says she did raise concerns with McMahon about her safety. The beauty -- who had her bust surgically enhanced three years ago -- claims she told the wrestling czar that she had no training as a wrestler and had undergone breast implant surgery which could pose a health risk if she were to experience a frontal fall. But she charges in her suit that WWF representatives "routinely failed to appear at events to script the matches, merely informing the participants who should be the winner and loser. "The wrestlers were pressured to engage in ever more outrageous daredevil stunts." Jerry McDevitt, a lawyer for the WWF, strenuously denies the allegations in Sable's lawsuit. But just last week, The ENQUIRER exposed the tremendous perils of pro wrestling -- and revealed that 21 pro wrestlers have died tragically in the past five years. However, wrestling remains the hottest ticket on cable TV. And unlike Sable, some lady wrestlers are willing to stage outrageous stunts. Sunny recently arranged to have her breast implants auctioned
off over the Internet -- and attracted a high bid of $9,000 for the pair.
