Stephanie McMahon loves to remind the WWE universe about her friendly relationship[s] to some of the WWE’s most iconic and legendary names. Stephanie McMahon would be the first person to tell you growing up that she was very friendly, for example, to the late WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant. Stephanie McMahon was recently ‘humiliated’ by Vince backstage.
However, she recently revealed in a recent interview with SBJ’s Abe Madkour that during the early days of getting into the family business she had a run-in with another WWE Hall of Famer – George ‘The Animal’ Steele, that completely ‘scared’ her. Credit to SportsKeeda for the following.
“Walking past all of these superstars mostly men at that time, and you know they’re all big and standing there in their costumes, their gear,” said McMahon. “And all of a sudden, around the corner all of these kids, like a group of kids come screaming and running – like running from something they’re afraid. And I see these kids and I’m like what could that be? So, I walk a little further and I peek around the corner and here comes George ‘The Animal’ Steele who was covered in so much hair it almost looked like fur.”
McMahon continued: “He was just a naturally hairy man,” McMahon continued. “Head shaved and his tongue is green and he’s you know coming at me in character and I was so petrified. I ran to my father. I ran up his legs, wrapped my arms around his neck buried my head in his shoulder and I was shocked when he started to laugh.”
