Eventually things reached a boiling point and DDP and Steiner got into a physical dispute backstage one evening. Both men held their own and they were eventually broken up. Vito spoke to DDP right after who told him that he didn’t care if were to get beaten up – he felt like he had to defend his wife’s honour at that time because he didn’t like some of the things Steiner was saying about her.

Russo talks about the heat between Sable, Sunny and Luna during the attitude era. He informs that Sable and Sunny hated each other, and he thinks a lot of that heat stemmed from Sunny’s jealousy of Sable. What most people don’t know, is that Luna absolutely despised both Sable and Sunny. Russo thinks Luna was angry at the fact that the business was changing at the time, and a lot of sexy women who couldn’t work were beginning to steal the spotlight from her.

He thinks that Luna could have taken 75% of WWE’s roster at the time, male or female. He recalls Luna working with Gangrel in a tag team angle with Marc Mero and Luna, and Russo informs that Gangrel spent a lot of time trying to calm Luna down backstage. He adds that if it wasn’t for Gagrel, Luna probably would have torn apart Sable in a one-on-one situation during that time.

Russo recalls getting hit by Luna Vachon backstage at a show one evening. He happened to look down the hall and spotted Sunny mouthing off to Luna. He knew he had to split them up so he ran down the hall and stood between both women. Sunny continued to mouth off and finally Luna had enough. She speared Russo through a laundry cart and jumped on Sunny. Luckily, within a few seconds other people heard the commotion and broke them up. Russo says that was the hardest he’s ever been hit.
