15. Stephanie McMahon Talks About The Backstage Atmosphere At WrestleMania 33 After The Undertaker’s Retirement
During a recent interview with Mirror, Stephanie McMahon talked about The Undertaker’s retirement, working for her father & more. Below are the highlights:
Backstage atmosphere at WrestleMania with The Undertaker retiring:
“There will never be another Undertaker… and everyone feels the same whether it’s backstage or out in the arena. I think that everyone that is part of theWWE Universe is a fan of The Undertaker. There will never be anyone else like him.”
How long she’s known The Undertaker:
“Yeah. Ha ha. He would say ‘maybe not that little’. He’d say ‘I’m not that old’. I’ve known him for a very long time. He’s almost like a brother to me.”
Working for her Dad, Vince McMahon:
“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.”
