WWE Hall of Famer Sean “X-Pac” Waltman spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso about several topics, including the changes that have taken place in WWE since Triple H took over.
Waltman said, “I’ll share something I haven’t told anyone else. When we were at Raw, I said to him, ‘You deserve all this. And the fans deserve you.’ The fans dealt with a lot of bulls**t over the years. It was hard to be a fan for a while, and I don’t f**king mind saying it. It’s different now. He’s here for the fans. There is so much happiness and excitement surrounding WWE. This is what I always envisioned for him. It’s amazing.”
On his experience at last Monday’s WWE RAW on Netflix debut:
“We get treated so well [regarding recent appearance]. That wasn’t always the way it was. There’s been times over the years I’ve seen older wrestlers so disappointed that they weren’t even acknowledged. It’s a big deal to us. This was our life. So it means the world to be treated the way we’re treated. Being at Raw, I loved it. I was telling my wife this, even people I wasn’t close with back in the day, I’m so happy to see them now.”
