Danny Flexen, a writer with Boxing News magazine, briefly interviewed Stephanie McMahon at the recent Mayweather-Marquez fight in Las Vegas. The entire interview is transcribed in the latest issue of PowerSlam
magazine in the UK. When asked about separating her personal and professional life she said she rarely ever has an argument with Triple H. "Sometimes, you can take your work home with you and sometimes you don't," she said. "But we always work things out." She said reading TV reviews on the Internet used to bother her but now she ignores them: "I don't read the dirt sheets at all anymore: they used to really bother me. But the numbers — live event attendances, TV ratings — they tell me what I'm doing right and wrong. We're lucky in that way: we have a focus group in every town we go to every night, so if something's not working,
we find out quickly and we can change it. We could be heading in the wrong direction and then completely change it." When asked about butting heads with Shane, and bare in mind she was asked this before Shane resigned, she said: "Our roles don't exactly cross over that much. But I
can't deny that we are, and always have been, competitive. Even now, as grown adults, after meetings we still play 'touched you last' - you know, like tag. We'll come out all serious, and then he'll tag me and shout, 'touched you last!' and then run away. (Shane's) the head of the
International operation, so our paths cross when we do international live events - but we tend to work well together. I think our type of competition is a good kind: it drives us both on and makes the business better. But I cannot foresee a day when my dad (Vince McMahon) hands
over the reins to either of us. He's still very much in charge -- and, trust me, everyone knows it."
