WWE Hall Of Famer Steve Austin was joined on The Steve Austin Show by retired professional wrestler and motivational speaker, Marc Mero.

Mero recalled Vince McMahon's reaction to meeting his ex-wife, Rena Lesnar, formerly known as Sable in WWE. Mero divulged that McMahon wanted a television role for Sable immediately upon meeting her. 

"So [McMahon] sends me a ticket to Stamford [Connecticut] to sign my contract and talk about what the character is going to be and so forth. So he sends me a ticket and back then it was a paper ticket. I said, 'well, Vince, you just sent one ticket. My wife flies everywhere I fly.' He goes, 'to sign a contract?' I said, 'Vince, she goes everywhere I go,' so sure enough he sent the ticket too for Rena, my ex-wife. And we fly in, and we walk into Vince's office, and he sees her. He goes, 'I've got to put her on television.' And that's how it started. And so, he gave us a list of these names for her and we came up with the name, Sable. And that's how it was started. [McMahon] said she would be my valet to walk me to the ring."
