More from an electric Playboy interview from 2001, as McMahon talks at length with...threatening machismo about his Stepfather that was particularly abusive towards his mother during his troubled upbringing:

"My parents got divorced and I went with my mom, Vickie. She was in the church choir. A real performer, a female Elmer Gantry. Very striking, with an excellent voice. Lived with her and my real a*shole of a stepfather, a man who enjoyed kicking people around...Leo Lupton. It's unfortunate that he died before I could kill him. I would have enjoyed that."
