— Stephanie McMahon, who WWE is attempting to push to the media as a major corporate executive, is briefly profiled in SportsBusiness Journal. Quite like husband Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, McMahon wants to eliminate bullying: she lists that and launching the WWE Network as her goals for 2012.
She says, “In 2012, my personal goal is to help stop the bullying epidemic that is affecting our children. As a mother of three girls, I am proud to represent the WWE as part of our Be a STAR initiative to help encourage students, teachers and parents to “be a star” by showing tolerance and respect. My professional goal is to help support the launch of the WWE network by providing a 24/7, interactive, creative experience that is worthy of the passion of our fans.”
Regarding the WWE Network, she says “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Iron Sheik and Dusty Rhodes will be a part of WWE Legends’ House. Rhodes, however, stated this week on Twitter that he will not be appearing on the program.
