Former WWE star Sean “X-Pac” Waltman has released a new episode of his podcast, X-Pac 12360. Waltman discussed several professional wrestling topics such as The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels’ confrontation on Monday Night Raw, his experience at All In and his reaction to Chris Jericho’s surprise attack on Kenny Omega. Here are the highlights:
Possibly seeing The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels in WWE again:
“It was a magical moment. (RAW, HBK & Undertaker Segment) First Shawn {Michaels} comes out, he can carry something on his own just fine, he kills it on the mic every time…Then Taker {Undertaker} comes out and it was the best Taker mic work I’ve ever seen.
“It was tremendous, very compelling between those two. I loved it. I’m pretty sure, I may be be going out on a limb here but I’m pretty sure this is planting a seed for some kind of Undertaker vs. Shawn, whether it’s a singles or some kind of a tag or triple-threat or something, I see that…
“It’s the history those two have… he {Shawn Michaels} can still go out there and do a lot of stuff but he doesn’t want the pressure I think; from talking to him; it’s not gonna be Undertaker vs. Shawn at WrestleMania, where they had one of the greatest matches ever.”
His time at All In:
“It was historical and it’s easy to say and know it’s historical but when we’re in the moment it’s hard to really understand just how big a deal that weekend was, it’s gonna be looked back upon and people are going to be talking about that forever. I’ve never seen happier customers for anything in years, not just a wrestling show but anything.
“I’ve never seen more satisfied customers, I’ve never seen a congregation of happier people, happy to be around other people that love what they love and they don’t have to feel foolish about it or whatever, everyone can be proud of being a wrestling fan. I am a huge wrestling fan still, from a wrestling person in the wrestling industry standpoint, it was huge.
“From a fan’s perspective it was heaven… even on the last day you could just tell, you could see a little bit of sadness {in the people} ‘Aw it’s almost over’ but it wasn’t ruining it for them they were still enjoying it. I’m pretty grateful to have been a part of that.”
Chris Jericho attacking Kenny Omega:
“The people ate it up and it was great, the first half of the match or so was all great stuff but it wasn’t too outside the box. It was all pretty basic, incredible but basic stuff and then 60% of the way through they kicked it into overdrive doing some very innovative stuff and just killed it.
“It was the last half of the match that really drove it home for me. That made me go,’wow!’ … I didn’t see that coming at all. {Chris Jericho’s Appearance} You can tell something was going on…. He’s a pretty smart guy, he somehow manages to insert himself in all the important shit going on. {laughs}”
