ALl I'll say is forget her on screen persona. Forget even her IRL WWE employee persona/status/whatever. These are all people, flawed or otherwise. And I think the antics of certain others in the wrestling business lately show that there could be a lot worse out there. She didn't strike me as an awful person. Sometimes the lines get blurred between what kind of person and businessperson you are, esp. if you are a ruthless businessperson. And we should definitely not judge one as a person just cause they don't produce the kind of wrestling/entertainment you want. Again there's a LOT worse wrestling and ex-wrestling personalities can do. I trust we know that by now. With so much going on today, anything serious faced by Steph and Hunter is something I hope not to see come to pass of course. That is all. In every shoot interview I've seen, when someone is asked about how Stephanie is to work with, 100% of them have replied with something like "She's such a sweetheart!". You'd think, with the number of angry ex-WWE employees around, that if Stephanie was bitchy, or ruthless, or two-faced, SOMEONE would have called her out on it by now, but I've never seen it.

Honestly, until the rumble this year, Shane and Steph were both presented as being very cool to work for. I think Heyman may have said something about Stephanie being demanding once upon a time, but take anything he says with a kilo of salt.

Like I said, one can be fooled how she is in her character or even business personas. And I have LOTS to nitpick there, of course. I guess "ruthless" wasn't what I should say. More like, "she doesn't produce the forms of entertainment WE want!" Which is kind of silly when you're judging one as a human being, which few of us have seen for ourselves. I'll wait and see who's been at Titan Tower and met her, or anywhere else. George Lucas ca. 1999-2005 may have been tone deaf, but a horrible person? Apples and oranges. I don't even judge her part in the 9/11 tribute. Remember most of us never saw anything like that, so what DO you compare it to? I also get that she was probably very afraid when it seemed like Vince might go to jail. Remember she WAS 7 years younger back then too, sooooo....

Best of luck to Stephanie on her absence, and hope all is well within her household. Why am I suddenly extremely scared? He'll be cutting the catering from WWE events next? Khan: alright, I figure we'll take a break from firing people. Vince: so what do we cut then? Khan: transportation. From now on everyone has to pay for all their travel. Vince: goddammit it man! That's good shit! Only one problem, I've been doing that for decades. Khan: wut? Vince: I know right?

I think the right word for Stephanie is she comes off as sheltered at times... or did rather. Which when you grow up in the WWE bubble... would probably happen

Their first daughter turns 16 this year. I gotta imagine they're just trying to enjoy life for a bit right now Thank you for this reminder that I am, in fact, old. Seriously, it does seem like just yesterday Hunter and Steph started having kids. I’m trying to think, honestly, aside from when she and Hunter got married and for when the kids were born, Steph took ANY time off. Seriously, it’s been since, what, 1999 she started working full time for the E? Please, for the love of God, Steph, don’t be your dad. Don’t let your life be a job. Take the time and savor it. Tomorrow is never ever a promise. Be well.

I think Heyman may have said something about Stephanie being demanding once upon a time, but take anything he says with a kilo of salt. I remember he had the sweetheart line too. Potentially he said something that she was a little demanding how creative was run because for a while people were circumventing her to go to Vince or going to Bruce to get to Vince instead of talking to her.

Poor Wrestling Inc. Had to draft a story about the Steph thing and do it by sourcing other sources who have no new information. And stretch it out to over 300 words. They need a better editor. Look how Wrestletaint.gov is covering this story.

That all being said, Nick Khan getting even more power and duties is very, very interesting, depending on how long he has them for This dude kinda walked in and changed a lot of shit, I know he's apparently been a long time colleague he's not some stranger, but it's still wild.

Wouldn't be shocked if it's just stress. In the past eight months her husband almost died and her grandma did die. Combine it with her job and her kids and she's probably pretty damn stressed out.

Yeah, the death of a Grandmother even at a somewhat expected age is rough to go through on it's own... add the Triple H stuff and it's probably a lot at once.

As someone who’s grandparents have all died, whether it’s expected or not it never prepares you for it, and Stephanie did tweet a lot about her grandmother a lot.

Christ almighty wade using a lot of words to say nothing. TL/DR: After an exhaustive investigation, we have uncovered that Stephanie McMahon apparently had reasons for taking a leave of absence. We have not, however, been able to uncover what those reasons are. Just that there are … reasons.
