On her relationship with her father as a child:

RCR: I was not on the road with my Dad. If anything, he had me as far away from that industry as possible. We unfortunately did not have that great of a relationship. Mostly because he was on the road so much. I think it came to like 298 days out of the year in his prime. Like a lot of people in that industry he led a very gypsy like lifestyle. He lived out of a suitcase. Because of that we never really got a chance to form a relationship.

On whether she views WWE’s annual WrestleMania Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal as a fitting tribute to her Dad:

RCR: Definitely. It’s totally fitting. I wish I could have been there for the first one but unfortunately that didn’t happen. It’s completely fitting. I heard about it and I said, “Yeah, that makes sense.” Photo credit: Kevin Winter (Getty Images)

On The Big Show, being portrayed as Andre’s son and her sister when he debuted in WCW, Robin says:

RCR: I wasn’t thrilled (laughs). That was definitely a gimmick. It wasn’t exactly the greatest gimmick because, you know, he doesn’t have a son. I realized it was a gimmick and later on down the road Paul definitely stepped up and said, “No, I am not his son.” It was right after his own father passed away I believe. It was a selling point.
