SEAN ‘X-PAC’ WALTMAN ON BELIEVING CM PUNK WILL ONE DAY RETURN TO PRO WRESTLING
SW: One reason would be so you could effect positive change. You can’t affect positive change in an industry you love if you are no longer in it or you remove yourself from it.
NICK HAUSMAN’S THOUGHTS ON DR. CHRIS AMANN DURING THE TRIAL
NH: I was there when Amann testified, so I’ll say that I think that {Dr. Chris} Amann was genuine. When he says that he thinks that there is an ax being grinded against him by {CM} Punk and others but it still always felt like the doctors versus Punk. It never felt personal, it never felt like Punk was going just after Amann. I feel like of the spread shot of people that Punk was kinda unhappy with, I think Amann was just the one who picked up the ball and said ‘I’m going to do something about this.’
SEAN X-PAC WALTMAN’S THOUGHTS ON THE RECENT ROCKIN’ REBEL SUICIDE MURDER
SW: People have heard about the murder-suicide in the Philadelphia area, Rockin’ Rebel, his name is Chuck Williams, he was an ECW original I don’t know. I knew the guy just casually and he was always nice to me but you guys I don’t go by ‘I can only judge him by how he was to me.’ Bullshit. I watch how people treat others. There’s ulterior motives for people treating me well sometimes so I watch how they treat others. Especially when they don’t think I’m paying attention. I’m really so sad by this. Let me read something real quick. An ECW original sent me this, ‘He wasn’t a good guy at all. Stephanie lived in fear for her life all the time. Chuck did time in jail in the 90’s for holding her hostage in a closet with a gun to her head. His family talked into not pressing charges. She would try to leave him and he would always threaten to kill himself. The one time she tried to leave he called her at her moms’. He said he was going to kill himself, he lit a firecracker to make her think he shot himself. Just mental torture type shit. He was a bully and a piece of shit.’ It seems like a lot of people failed this poor woman and now there are two ten-year-old kids that don’t have a mom and it’s so fucking sad.
SEAN ‘X-PAC’ WALTMAN TALKS ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS WHEN WRESTLING LAWSUITS OCCUR
SW: I haven’t really talked about the trial, there are certain things I usually try to avoid on my show, just because of my relationship with WWE but it’s really hard not to talk about those things when everyone is talking about them. The thing that really sucks is when lawsuits happen in wrestling, it makes it hard because, I think,‘Oh geesh am I gonna get heat for being friends with this person,’ or even in the concussion lawsuit. That’s like a class action suit and has all these people attached to it.
SEAN ‘X-PAC’ WALTMAN TALKS ABOUT MEDICAL ADVANCES IN THE WWE
SW: It’s hard for me to give you a complete accurate picture of how it is now. From when I was there in the late 90s up until 2002, by then they were light years ahead from when I first started started in 93’. I don’t know how else to describe it other than they have made a ton of progress when it comes to taking care of guys and honestly for the most part I can’t remember ever not being 100% taken care of by them {WWE}.
