Former WWE executive Stephanie McMahon appeared on The Pat McAfee Show today, where she announced her new project, Stephanie’s Places. The show will feature her traveling the world and having conversations with WWE Superstars. During her conversation with McAfee, Stephanie, daughter of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, discussed her decision to step away from WWE and explained that she wanted “to disappear for a little while.” Here are some highlights (via Fightful):
Stephanie McMahon on what she learned after leaving WWE:
“One of the things I learned when I stepped away is I’ll never get away from WWE, ever. It is a part of who I am. It is what I love. I really did grow up in this business. It was not unusual to have shoots done at our house. I was in the first ever Saturday Night’s Main Event. I went trick or treating at Rowdy Roddy Piper’s house, which was actually our house. He was putting candy, bowling balls, breaking our candy bags. I was on that episode. I did modeling for the catalog and we didn’t get paid. We didn’t have child models at the time. All of the employees kids, we were just dressed up. I’ve lived this amazing life with so many opportunities to meet incredible people and be part of something that is so special that connects people all over the world. I feel it everywhere I go, in every arena I go to. It’s something so special.”
Stephanie McMahon on wanting to disappear for a little while:
“I never stopped being proud, ever. I do think I wanted to disappear for a little while, and I kind of did. It was good for me. I needed it, and now I’m back.”
