Stephanie McMahon Reveals Why Vince McMahon Told Her She Failed Him

The McMahon family is arguably the most powerful family in wrestling and Vince McMahon has spent years sharing his experience with his daughter Stephanie.

Stephanie McMahon recently discussed what it’s been like coming up through the family business during an appearance on SBJ I Factor, and she noted at one point Vince McMahon told his daughter that she failed him when she was micromanaging.

“I think sometimes when you make mistakes, that’s when you grow. Not all the time. You can certainly grow without making mistakes. But I think that there’s a lot of positivity when you make a mistake. Because if you own it, first and foremost, you assess it, you study it, you learn why you made the mistake and how to correct it, and you make sure you don’t make that mistake again. But I think it could be very painful.”

“One key lesson that my father taught me — I was micromanaging. I was doing what I thought was right, I mean, all the best of intentions, but I really was absolutely micromanaging this particular team. My dad told me that I had failed him and it was a very, very hard, painful lesson, especially because he’s my father, not just my boss, right? To think that I had failed him was something I took on so emotionally and it was painful for me and I think for a lot of people, making mistakes and doing things that you wish you didn’t do are painful. But you grow from them if you’re able to, and it is worth it. It’s why I don’t have regrets in life. I’ve made mistakes, don’t get me wrong. I’ve definitely made mistakes. But I think I wouldn’t be who I am today if I hadn’t made those mistakes and had the opportunity to learn from them. I think that’s just so important.”

Stephanie McMahon currently works as WWE’s Chief Brand Officer. Stay tuned for updates.
