Marc Mero Says Sable Powerbomb Killed Planned Feud With Steve Austin

Pro wrestling veteran Marc Mero appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, where he discussed various topics, including getting powerbombed by Sable.

Mero said, “There were no surprises; it was just something we planned on doing. And my thought was, people said, ‘Well how would you let a girl beat you up? You ruined your career.’ Remember, I’m making guaranteed money, and why not build her up where she’s making huge money with merchandise and opportunities outside of the WWE, and different guest spots on all these different shows that she was doing; [it was] an incredible time for us. But it did create quite the stir in the locker room and cut out a program that I was supposed to have with Steve Austin.”

On how the angle killed a planned feud between him and Steve Austin:

“I was the next feud for Steve at the time. I was wrestling and we had a main event match at the Los Angeles Forum. And I remember getting to the arena and I noticed it was changed. Like, I wasn’t wrestling Steve. And I was like, ‘What happened?’ Never thinking it was because Sable powerbombed me. And his thought was that ‘If a girl can beat him up, why would I want to wrestle him?’ You know? And I get it. So it changed the whole thing.”
