Jim Ross on Vince McMahon booking Stephanie McMahon to kiss another man in WWE

Stephanie McMahon is married to fellow WWE executive Triple H. Jim Ross gave his thoughts on when former WWE Chairman told Stephanie McMahon to kiss Eric Bischoff. On the October 31, 2002, episode of SmackDown, Stephanie McMahon saw Bischoff wearing a Vince McMahon Halloween mask in her father's office. The former WCW President removed the mask before passionately kissing the then-SmackDown authority figure. Ross, a WWE commentator and talent relations executive at the time, discussed the segment on the Survivor Series 2002 episode of his Grilling JR podcast: "Yeah, it's weird, strange. That's inside the mind of Vince McMahon (...) I remember that kiss with Eric and Stephanie. She became a hell of a talent on-air, a hell of a talent. Pulling off a kiss like that, it graduates from somewhat being forced upon her to her transitioning where, 'Hey, I kinda like this.'" [43:46 – 44:28] As Ross referenced, Stephanie McMahon's villainous character appeared to enjoy the moment despite her initial reluctance to kiss Bischoff. Seconds later, the two awkwardly stared at each other without saying a word before Bischoff left the office.
