Linda has just found a new video of Stephanie at NYSE posted on youtube. You can see some great shots of Stephanie, and you will learn some interesting details from the every day working cycle in the WWE. HQ screencaps are now available as well.
With Vince McMahon taking on a greater on-air presence in recent weeks, he has been less involved in the production process. Stephanie has been handling much of his production duties, including communication with the announcers, which is considered a much calmer scenario for such on-air talent. Vince McMahon is known for his aggressive approach when instructing the announcers during WWE’s broadcasts.

As promised, screencaps from the Steph interview posted earlier today(check out the previous post if you haven’t watched the video yet) are now available. I also managed to find the official website of Mary Caraccioli - www.maryandmoney.com, the woman that interviewed the McMahon family. Here’s how she described the day spent with the McMahon’s.
You May have seen my one on one interview with Vince McMahon http://maryandmoney.com/videos/vince-mcmahon-talks-business/
He was all business in that interview. If you want to see the softer side of Vince, ask him about his family and ask his family about Vince.I had the rare opportunity to spend the day with the entire McMahon family on their turf, the WWE studios in Connecticut. Fans of their shows may be disappointed, they are shockingly normal. I am guessing that one of the reasons they get along so well in real life, is that on TV they can be monsters to each other. Linda’s story has to be seen to be believed.
Oblivion’s visitor JLM was kind enough to notify me of a video interview of Stephanie being posted at the McMahon-Levesque Forum, originally available on youtube. The segment appears to have been filmed in late 2005, soon after Steph returned to start a feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Though, I have no additional information, but if someone does, please post a comment or mail me. I am pretty curious which media ordered this interview, or it was meant for a DVD or something… The interview is quite interesting and you can even see Steph dancing on the ramp with Linda and Vince around, right after JR got fired. As I’ll be adding screencaps later today, be sure to check back.
WWE is apparently in search of more writers for the creative team. Stephanie McMahon reportedly told head writer Brian Gewirtz and Michael Hayes to find some writers that can work for the company. Gewirtz was apparently told to reach out to anyone he knows working at MTV.

Candice Michelle addressed her release in her latest blog entry. She mentioned Stephanie as well:
Today is the first day of my next journey! I am filled with excitement and gratitude that I wanna express! First and foremost I wanna say thank-you to the McMahon family! Thank-you Vince, Linda, and Stephanie! I have had an amazing 5years wrestling for you guys! You have taught me and given me so many incredible memories!

Kristy from Shane McMahon Net was kind enough to allow me use her video and snap some screencaps of Stephanie from the backstage Backlash 2009 segment she was featured in.
I’ve also included WWE.com’s exlusive video of Candice Michelle being escorted out of the arena on a stretcher with Stephanie by her side. I wanted to post this one, so you all can see what’s Steph’s actual reaction when it comes to legal injuries.
Ok, so I’ve read like tons of articles on Stephanie possibly becoming the new General Manager of Raw. Ric Flair, Shane McMahon and Batista are the rest of the names mentioned. Honestly, I doubt she will be back as a GM this time. I would love to see her in a position of power again and all, but it just doesn’t feel like the right timing. She is often used around WrestleMania and Steph is a big draw to such storylines, but she’s never around during the summer as for the recent years. Besides, Ric Flair and the recently injured Batista are much more suitable replacements at this point. We’ll see though, I hope I am wrong and she returns to Raw next Monday night. You can read an excerpt from one of those articles below, to read the whole thing click on this link
With a person like Mike Adamle, he wasn’t liked since his first day. So when he got on ECW as an announcer and on RAW as the GM, the WWE Universe set out millions of posts criticizing him.
That led us to Stephanie and Shane McMahon, who took things over until Stephanie became the full-time GM.
She was later hurt during the Orton rising which led to the aforementioned Guerrero taking her place. Now the question is, who will take Guerrero’s place?

Linda has just forwarded a video link to me that features a backstage video of HHH getting escorted to an ambulance at Backlash 2009. You can see Stephanie next to him looking worried. Credit for the video goes to the youtube user nerea316.
Candice Michelle recently wrote on her Twitter account that she expects to return to the ring this month. With that being said, there is a ton of heat on her right now similar to what just caused Vince McMahon to release Mr. Kennedy; the perception that she is often injured and a lousy worker.One company source told The Sun: “She doesn’t exactly help her cause when she’s running around in LA hanging out at bars and going to Dodger games… What happened to rehab and getting back in shape? There are guys on our roster with far worse injuries sucking it up and still coming to work.”
On the positive side, one of her biggest supporters in the company is said to be Stephanie McMahon.

As the Tough Enough Extras were requested at the McMahon-Levesque Forum, I decided to add them, even though I had to go through all my Steph CD/DVDs till I finally managed to find the right one. These particular segments are off character and Stephanie is her usual adorable self. For those of you, who still haven’t seen those, they are a must watch! Video and screencaps are both available for your viewing pleasure.
I was keeping those Judgment Day 2009 candids for today’s update, as I added a new layout, but Eddie got them up first. Anyway, hope you all like the new layout. It’s more colorful than usual, but I still dig it. Any comments are welcome
