  • Vince Russo Tells Story Behind Infamous WWE Magazine Covers With Sable & Sunny

    Vince Russo’s latest “What Culture” column is now available, and features his take on 10 insider stories from his days as the editor of the WWE Magazine.

    Below is an excerpt from the column, which features Russo talking about the January 1998 issue with Sable and Sunny on the covers:

    “If you worked the wrestling side of the WWF at the time, it was no secret to anyone that Sable and Sunny HATED each other. Now, I’ve got to be fair here, I think it was more on Sunny’s part than Sable. There is no doubt that Sunny was just flat out jealous of Sable, and quite frankly—I could never understand why? To me, they were two completely different types of women with their own appeal. Sunny was the girl next door, and Sable was the mysterious, exotic beauty. They both had their followers.

    So, when I made the call to do a swimsuit edition of the RAW Magazine, and give both Sunny and Sable their separate covers—I should have known that I was in for it. I chose a picture of Sunny that was extremely sexy—I thought it put her in a spectacular light. Well—she didn’t agree. And, I found that out first hand when she came onto our floor to look at the pictures we chose. After viewing them, she grabbed them and ran to my office and screamed, “That’s not me! That’s not me!” I remember being caught so off guard at the time, that all I could do was laugh and say, “Well—if it’s not you—WHO IS IT THEN?!”

  • The Rock Talks Steve Austin Feud, WWE To Keep Talent Busy During WMXXX Week

    – WWE is planning on running a large amount of live programming on the WWE Network during WrestleMania XXX week. Apparently the feeling within the company is that New Orleans, which is the city that will be hosting WrestleMania XXX, is a party city, so WWE wants to keep their talent as busy as possible to avoid any embarrassing incidents.

    – The Rock noted in a recent interview for WWE Magazine that his rivalry with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, in his opinion, was cut short. The Rock said, “Ironically, WrestleMania was supposed to be the beginning of The Rock-Austin rivalry, as far pay-per-view storylines, television, etc. was concerned. After WrestleMania, things just started to change. The fans were behind me.”
