** These days, when WWE is full of supermodel gorgeous women, it's a little hard to see why she was so popular. But back then, Sable was one of the first stunningly beautiful women to be seen in WWE. Ditto for how the crowd reacted to her simply kicking Goldust at ''Wrestle Mania XIV''. Back then people were shocked that such a beautiful lady could also be an ActionGirl. These days, not so much.
** Sable was also unique for the time in that she was presented as a woman who would stand up for herself, no matter what. The very idea that a female in WWE would feud with a male and ''wrestle him herself'' in matches was shocking. This was a full year before Chyna got to join the men's division and have matches of her own. Sable arguably helped open doors for intergender matches to happen in WWE at least. The reason so many girls would cite Sable as their idol was because she gave women a role model in the form of an actual wrestler, rather than a valet. And she did this without compromising her beauty or femininity at all.

* PortingDisaster: The Xbox version suffers from poor frame rate (even on Series X), crashes and inappropriate auto saves. User reviews on the Xbox store seem to be evenly split between "great game despite the bugs" and "bad game because of the bugs."

* CriticalBacklash: Despite the smark hatred, there are a number of fans - including women wrestlers today - who idolised Sable in their childhoods or appreciate her efforts.

* VindicatedByHistory: A lot of her career tends to be viewed negatively due to her lack in-ring skills, but people are more sympathetic to her attempts to jump to Wrestling/{{WCW}}, not only because she was planned to be part of a WCW angle that had to be scrapped, but because "independent contractors" and how pro wrestling companies in the USA misuse the term, became a hot button topic thanks to Wrestling/{{TNA}} and [[Wrestling/RingOfHonor ROH]] disputes years later.
