Mauro Ranallo On What Vince McMahon Is Really Like, Update On Stephanie’s Book, Roddy Piper

– During an ‘Ask Me Anything’ on Reddit.com to promote SmackDown Live, Mauro Ranallo talked about what it’s like to work with Vince McMahon.

“Vince McMahon is an intimidating individual because of the amount of respect he commands because of what he’s done for entertainment, turning the business into a billion dollar success story,” Ranallo stated. “He rarely sleeps, he’s a workaholic, he’s passionate, he loves what he does. Every week I’m inspired by what he puts into his business. From the moment I arrive at the arena, it’s go time. It brings out the best in you because it comes from the top. But in terms of intimidating, Vince McMahon takes the cake for sure.”
