To some, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have become an unbearable part of WWE programming. Together, they flip between heel and babyface depending on the situation, and this causes a weird schism between their on-screen heel role and behind-the-scenes work. That weird discord doesn't discount their relentless endeavour, dedication to WWE life or Trips' love of fostering talent in NXT.

On his latest 'Something To Wrestle With' podcast, Prichard examined Stephanie's early involvement in WWE affairs and went deep on her relationship with (and eventual marriage to) Triple H. He also found time to stick in a few funny stories about the times he's spent around Vinnie Mac's darling daughter, and Hunter before he embedded himself into the McMahon family.

The result is a mishmash of anecdotes on both before they assumed positions of major power in the company. Everything from Triple H's desire to self-produce, who actually suggested Stephanie for an on-screen role and why the roster were worried about Hunter's growing influence were discussed...
