WWE legend praises Sable skills while signing her in 2003

In the recent episode of Grilling Jr., WWE legend Jim Ross shared his thoughts on signing Sable back to WWE in 2003. He recalled being a bit concerned, but things worked out great, and also praised her for the skills she possessed.

Ross said, “I was kind of concerned about how well we would be able to negotiate a deal and what her demands were because she knew what she was worth. She knew what she was worth. And we knew that from a merchandise standpoint, we could probably get a return on the investment on that merch.

The current AEW commentator added, “She was a great cameo person. She was great to do a walk-on, a recurring role on television. Because she still has that great appeal. She was a beautiful woman. She had great charisma and had that animal magnetism, shall we say? Because she was a hit. She was a keeper. And I for one was glad that she came back.”

JR further reminisced how it was difficult for him to negotiate with Chyna, but easy to sign Sable. As per the 71-year-old, Sable, the former Women’s Champion, wanted to make things right after her controversial exit in 1999.
