5 crazy WWE facts you probably did not know

#2 SmackDown was supposed to be an all women's show

Sable coined the term 'diva' for women in the WWE

The women in the WWE have seen a drastic rise in importance over the past few years and the company will be hosting its first ever all women's pay-per-event called 'Evolution' in October. And while this is a huge step in the women's revolution in the WWE, surprisingly the company had actually planned to have an all women's show way back in 1999.

Yes, SmackDown was originally planned to be exclusively for WWE's female wrestlers. And even more shocking is the fact that the inspiration behind this show was Sable, literally one of the worst wrestlers to step foot in a wrestling ring. But her shortcomings in the ring had not stopped her from becoming one of the most popular names on the WWE roster due to her gorgeous looks and seductive gimmick.

But back then the WWE women's roster had no depth at all, and thankfully the WWE did not go through with the idea. Although today we might not be too far away from actually having an all women's show, it is hard to imagine what a two-hour simply dedicated to just women would have looked like in 1999.
