A busy character throughout his life, ‘A-Rod’ hosted his own podcast, titled The Corp, after his retirement. Along with his co-host Big Cat, Rodriguez held a series of interviews with eminent personalities from various professions. Former professional wrestler Stephanie McMahon once graced the podcast on one of the episodes. McMahon is presently the chairwoman and CEO of the WWE administration.
Rodriguez and McMahon thus sat down for nearly an hour-long conversation, with Big Cat for company. Unavoidably, the former Yankee brought up the topic of iconic WWE legends Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. Hogan and Flair are two of the biggest names ever to have been associated with the WWE ring.
