"There are not many people within the WWF that I am contact with"
About this Quote
The power of this line is how accidentally revealing it is: a sentence that tries to sound neutral but quietly maps the social geometry of a famously insular, status-soaked workplace. Coming from Rena Marlette Lesnar (better known to wrestling audiences as Sable), a model-turned-WWF star, it lands like a polite refusal to participate in the mythology of “one big family.” In an ecosystem built on constant visibility, “not many people” is a boundary dressed up as a shrug.
The phrasing does two things at once. “Within the WWF” frames relationships as corporate territory, not personal life; it’s less “my coworkers” than “the organization,” as if contact were a professional resource to be managed. Then “that I am contact with” (a slightly off-kilter construction) reads like distance made grammatical. It’s not intimacy denied with drama, it’s intimacy denied with bureaucracy. The subtext: access is selective, and there are reasons for that selectivity.
Context matters. The WWF of that era wasn’t just entertainment; it was a machine that blurred persona and person, rewarded alliances, punished disloyalty, and churned through rumor. For a woman whose public narrative was often written by others - promoters, storylines, tabloid angles - minimal “contact” can be self-preservation, not aloofness. The intent isn’t to spill tea; it’s to deny the audience a network map. In a business that monetizes closeness, withholding it is its own kind of power.
