Marc Mero on Why Letting Sable Pose for Playboy Was a ‘Horrible Decision’

While speaking to the It’s My House podcast, former WCW and WWE wrestler Marc Mero discussed his marriage to former WWE talent Sable and how the decision for her to pose nude for Playboy Magazine was a “horrible decision.” Sable was on the cover of Playboy Magazine for the April 1999, September 1999, and March 2004 issues, all of which were among the best selling in Playboy history.

Below is an excerpt (via Fightful):

“At the time it was a discussion that her and I had that we decided to do that. Horrible decision. You look back on life and you say, ‘Oh my God, what was I thinking?’ But, what’s done is done. You move on. You make mistakes in life and hopefully, those mistakes become learning experiences. It was not a good decision to make for our life, our marriage, our family, and everything else. Next thing you know we’re at the Playboy parties all the time with Hugh Hefner. We eventually got an apartment right in Hollywood and it was just not a good time in our lives. I don’t want to sound like I’m bitter at all because I’m not. All the paths I took in life, good and bad, they led me to where I am today. I couldn’t be happier or more content with my life. Obviously when you talk about these things you rehash memories and things you went through at that time. But all those different paths I took, making mistakes — and thank God they became learning experiences in my life. I feel I’m a better person because of those decisions and choices I made back then that I’ve learned from and grown from, and can maybe help or steer other people in the right direction.”

Sable was one of the most popular Divas during the WWE Attitude Era, along with Torrie Wilson, Trish Stratus, Lita, Jacqueline, Candice Michelle, Chyna, Ashley Massaro, and others. She became arguably WWE’s biggest sex symbol but eventually left the company to try her hand at becoming an actress. She is now married to wrestling star Brock Lesnar.
