Marc Mero is convinced that his ex-wife Sable deserves an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Speaking on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, Mero discussed negotiating his WWE contract with Vince McMahon in the mid-1990s to enable Sable to travel with him. He talked about their divorce while still holding her in high regard and rooting for her to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame someday, which he also mentioned in his book — “From Badd to Good.”
“Oh, absolutely,” Mero said about Sable deserving an induction. “The women’s division, they didn’t really have a women’s division so much back then at all. But she brought eyes to the channels. The ratings and everything were very high because of her.”
Mero also addressed whether he believes his own career was Hall of Fame worthy.
“You know what? If you want to look at my WWF stint, no,” he said. “But if you want to look at things I’ve done with WCW as Johnny B. Badd, they were very entertaining.”
Van Vliet suggested that Mero — who is now a motivational speaker after overcoming drug addiction — would be a good fit for WWE’s Warrior Award.
“Something like that would be wonderful,” Mero responded. “If I ever did, DDP would be the guy to induct me.”
After his WCW exit in 1996, Mero moved to WWE for a run that included one Intercontinental title reign. His then-wife Sable accompanied him and learned the ropes of the industry. She also won the WWE Women’s Championship in 1998 for a nearly 180-day reign.
Following his WWF tenure, Mero had a stint with TNA before officially retiring from in-ring competition in 2006.
