Stephanie McMahon recently spoke with The Mirror; you can read a few highlights below:
Stephanie McMahon comments on growing up as a child in WWE:
It was incredible growing up around all these superstars. It was so much fun. I remember the first time I met the Ultimate Warrior when he came to the front door, running into Ric Flair who was just sitting in our living room, when I had no idea he was waiting for a meeting with my dad, all of these different stories. My first live event with George ‘The Animal’ Steele, the first time I met Andre the Giant… He walked over to our trampoline and I was really little, I was only about three or four-years-old, and he put his hand out. I actually stepped in his hand, having never met him before, and he brought me up to his cheek and I gave him a kiss. My mom called him my Gulliver.
Stephanie comments on what it’s like working for her father:
Working for my dad is incredibly challenging, in a variety of ways. It can be challenging from a family standpoint, right, because I think sometimes working with family you take certain things for granted, and that can be challenging, as I keep saying! But from an opportunistic standpoint, I would never have had the opportunities that I have been given and afforded if it weren’t for my father.
I think you have to work that much harder when you are part of the family to prove yourself and to keep growing, but again those are the best life lessons that you can possibly have. The best part of working together, at least in my family, is this incredible shared passion. We all love what we do. To be able to bring different aspects of that passion literally to the table is a unique proposition and one I would never give up.
