Does anyone know why Sable was only on WCW television for a one time appearance and was never signed to a contract? youtu.be/5xmjxcemoLo

They probably just didn't agree on money. WCW wouldn't have given her the same kind of focus the WWF did, so there wasn't really going to be the kind of opportunities she had in the WWF before that soured.

I recall reading something about how she was on bad terms with the WWF but still under contract, and this was just a one-off F-U to Vince.

I think that she was still technically under contract or had a no compete while the lawsuit was ongoing somehow. That said, typical WCW to pay her like $1M to sit in the stands for 20 seconds.

1) She looked like she'd rather be getting a root canal. 2) The way she was dressed and had her hair, she looked about 53

I doubt she was there in an official capacity. Just purchased a ticket and sat front row. Maybe pulled a few strings to make sure the cameras focused on her at some point just to stick a middle finger to Vince. Or Bischoff noticed her snd couldn’t resist.

Years ago, I saw her described as looking like “someone’s bitchy aunt,” and I’ve never been able to see anything else. I'm kinda glad to see other people post this. I never liked to talk about it because I'm not much of a "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO..." sort of poster. I first learned Sable's real age in just the last couple years and it shocked me. I thought she was like 45 in 1997. Not because she looked bad, but I thought she had this "smokin' hawt divorced cougar across the street" sort of look that was the opposite of Sunny's "college girl next door" If you would have told 1997 Me that Sable and Sunny were 5 years apart I would have called bullshit

Kinda gave her that 80's pornstar look. At WM14 I thought she looked a lot more...youthful, with her hair in the pony tail.

I choose to believe this was all part of a plan to bring back Johnny B. Badd but it didn't pan out.

Who old is Sable now? 56? So Sunny is 51 already? Damn. Agree Sable always looked like in her 50s in the 90s already to me. If i see any pictures of her today she looks great (even did back then too in a way) but i always prefered Sunny look wise by far. Never got the hype for Sable

I’m of the opinion that it was largely the trashy-ing up of her image made her look so much older. Personally, I thought she was very attractive, with a more youthful innocence to her look, when she first appeared as HHH’s valet.

1) She looked like she'd rather be getting a root canal. To be fair, how would you feel at a Nitro in 1999?

I always thought my perception of Sable looking older just had to do with me being a younger teenager during her push. Interesting that other people felt the same way.

Sable did kind of look older than she was. I thought she looked better during her second run, but I think also some of that came from her seeming more natural in that role than how forced her face role was for her.

Years ago, I saw her described as looking like “someone’s bitchy aunt,” and I’ve never been able to see anything else. Same here. I was 20 when she debuted, and while I’ve always appreciated older women my first thought was ‘Jeez, who’s the woman with Marc Mero? She’s getting on a bit...’ Granted, I’d stopped watching during the Attitude era so didn’t see ‘prime’ Sable, but considering how youthful, energetic and charismatic Sunny was, Sable just immediately seemed in her shadow.

I feel like during the Attitude Era, a lot of us were seeing boobs for the first time and simply didn't care what was attached to them. So, the fact that she looked like one of Donald Trump's greatest hits or talked like someone from Munchkinland simply didn't matter.
