Stephanie McMahon Is Ruthless

Or at the very least more ruthless than Shane was. In the wake of the McMahon son resigning from the company, a lot of speculation has come out as to why he left. The linked article really doesn't provide more than said speculation, but there was an interesting nugget in there from former WWE head of security Jimmy Noonan:

Jimmy followed up "The Chairman Of The Board" by giving some of his own personal feelings on the McMahons & how the talent over the years have embraced Shane more than his sister: "Shane is loved by everyone in the WWE. He just has a way about him. Everybody is terrified of Stephanie, that's not to say they don't like her. Stephanie, in a lot of ways, has more power in the business than Vince."

To use sports terminology, Shane was more of the "player's manager" while Steph has more of a hard-ass personality. Both qualities work in their own way. In light of that quote, I wonder how the mood in the locker room is changing.
