Stephanie McMahon: Her connection with Andre the Giant
The WWE is not just a heritage for McMahon. She has been with the company since her childhood. According to Rob Kligman, Stephanie used to be part of the presentations since she was 8 years old.
“She used to come with me on presentations and she would show a photo of her sitting on Andre the Giant’s lap. And when you see an eight-year-old sitting on such a large individual, Andre the Giant everybody just kind of sat back and just shook their heads.”
