WWE executive Stephanie McMahon had a very interesting interview with Powerslam Magazine that was published after her husband, Triple H's, very interesting and revealing interview on the state of WWE business. (Read Part 1 and Read Part 2 of Hunter's interview.)

Stephanie was interviewed by boxing writer Danny Flexen prior to her brother, Shane McMahon's, announcement that he is leaving WWE effective January 1, 2010.

-- Stephanie on competing with Shane: "Our roles don't exactly cross over that much. But I can't deny that we are, and always have been, competitive. ... 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."

-- Stephanie on arguing with her husband, Triple H: "We actually don't (argue) much at all, except in the business. Sometimes, you can take your work home with you and sometimes you don't. But we always work things out."

Caldwell's Analysis: Stephanie and Hunter have different philosophies on many aspects of the business. Hunter is perceived as a student of the game who would like to see wrestlers brought up the old-school way where they learn how to be a wrestler before they ever sniff the main roster in WWE. Stephanie has more of a marketing background on how to market wrestlers without necessarily keeping a strict eye on what works in a traditional wrestling storytelling sense. I'm sure that's where they butt heads at times.

-- Stephanie was asked if criticism of her job performance bothers her. She responded: "It used to, but I decided that people are going to think whatever they want to think. I try to do the best I can do. I don't read the dirt sheets at all anymore: they used to really bother me."

-- Stephanie on the WWE travel schedule: "I think we worked it out ... I don't have the figures in front of me, but the averages days worked per year was actually a lot lower than you'd expect. We always try to keep the balance right, and I know that's something (WWE VP of talent relations) John Laurinaitis is always thinking about. The brand extension means it's worse than it was, but it also means there are more opportunities available for the guys who want to work."
