This leads the Billion Dollar Princess to note on those particular WWE Superstars who spread the WWE programming to the farthest corner. Also, we got to know the most important names who have worked for this company. Stephanie McMahon recently appeared on the Barstool Sports Podcast with hosts Dan ‘Big Cat’ Katz of Barstool and Alex Rodriguez to note on this matter.
Barstool sent highlights from the interview where Stephanie McMahon mentioned WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, along with The Rock, when asked about the best WWE Superstar. Speaking of the older era of pro-wrestling, the commissioner of WWE Monday Night Raw specifically named Hogan and Flair for making the product popular,
“Hulk Hogan is one of the most easily recognized icons in the world. He is everything because also his size, his stature, that Fu Manchu the long blond hair. He just really is one of the first-ever I think truly global icons. Ric Flair is arguably one of the greatest superstars ever in the history of our business from a pure talent standpoint. I think that even Hulk Hogan would say Ric Flair has me beat. Ric, he transcends our business in many different ways than I think Hulk Hogan does.” (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)

Stephanie McMahon continued mentioning The Rock who was one of the most important figures to make WWE this popular, today,
“And it feels like I’m maybe not picking one over the other but I’m picking each one for different. I think The Rock, especially because with all the different platforms that exist today, I think Rock has he’s probably the number one most easily recognized WWE superstar of all time. And not only is he a successful actor he also runs you know Seven Bucks Studios, he’s an entrepreneur, he’s an executive, he’s a philanthropist.”
The female entrepreneur added WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant in his list whom she is great fond of. She has always openly admitted how much she loved this legendary superstar. In fact, Stephanie McMahon claims Andre to be his best friend in the past during interviews and tweets. McMahon said she grew up with Andre as her best friend, and she never knew any different. She also shared a heartwarming story about the eighth wonder of the world in her following statements,
“And Andre drove up in his special van because it had to be outfitted for him for his size and he got out of his van. And it was like his head blocked the sun and the ground shaking as he took every step. And my babysitter at the time freaked out, started locking all the doors, closing all the windows and I’m out on the trampoline. I don’t know what that says about her babysitting skills but my mom tells the story that Andre walked over to the trampoline and I was never scared. I was never afraid and he held out his hand. And apparently as lore goes I stepped into the palm of his hand and he brought me up to his cheek and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. And my mom always called Andre my Gulliver.”
