On the latest episode of her What’s Your Story? podcast, Stephanie McMahon sat down with WWE CEO Nick Khan for a candid conversation that included a rare discussion about her father, Vince McMahon.
While talking about perseverance, the two touched on Vince’s difficult upbringing and the abuse he endured as a child. The comments were made in the context of resilience and how early life experiences can shape a person.
You can read highlights from the podcast below:
Stephanie on how Vince’s childhood shaped who he is: “His mindset was, if he could survive, he won. So just surviving was winning and still is winning for him today. And I don’t know how you can ever beat someone at the end of the day if all they need to do is survive to win.”
Khan on Vince’s business accomplishments: “So all credit to him. I only have admiration for him. As Paul said — Triple H said — at his Hall of Fame speech, family’s complicated. And, you know, obviously, we don’t need to get into any of that. But in terms of business, that guy’s an empire builder.”
Stephanie on Vince’s business success: “Absolutely he is. And no one can take that away from him, no matter what, including himself, who is probably his biggest nemesis — is himself.”
