Sean Waltman on Nia Jax Rumors, Jeff Jarrett’s Problems, Chikara, More

Recent episode of the X-Pac 12360 podcast show had host Sean Waltman discuss a variety of wrestling topics including the recent rumors regarding Nia Jax, Jeff Jarrett’s recent struggles, a Chikara story, and more.

On the topic of the rumors regarding Nia Jax’s status in the WWE, Waltman stated he didn’t believe recent stories of The Rock playing a role in her current leave of absence from the company.

“Rumor is that she called The Rock and that the Rock advised her to walk out. I cannot buy that, I absolutely don’t buy that Dwayne Johnson gave his cousin advice to walk out of the company. I don’t believe that for one second.”

On the topic of Jeff Jarrett’s recent problems, Waltman stated he is worried about Jarrett’s well-being since he considers Jarrett to be a very close friend. He mentioned Jarrett’s partying habits is something he has known about for a while but was something Jarrett managed to handle a lot better in the past.

“A lot of the stuff is allegedly but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it seems that Jarrett is going through some s–t right now. You hear different stories, although some parts of the story may not be true or maybe exaggerated. When you hear several stories like this, there’s something to it and Jeff has gone through a ton of heartache over the years. The lost of his children’s mother and other things that we probably don’t even know. I’ve known Jeff for a long time and Jeff has never been afraid to party but he’s always held it together and when I hear things like this it makes me worry and I love Jeff very much. ”

Later in the episode, Waltman discussed an incident he had at a Chikara show involving him getting upset over a comedy spot because he wasn’t ready for it nor knew what was going on in the ring. It became a learning experience for him which made later appearances for the company more enjoyable overall.

“At King of Trios (Chikara Event), one year they started going into this bulls–t slow-motion spot. I had never seen this before and I just about blew a fricking gasket. I was so mad. Because no one told me about it, next thing I know this… and I guess in the context of Chikara’s universe it works fine… but the thing is next time I’m participating. I’m doing the same s–t as everyone else. Tommy Dreamer pulls out a remote, goes like that (presses pause) and everyone stops.”

Other topics discussed during the episode included his thoughts on WWE’s TLC pay-per-view and post-match promos being his favorite in wrestling.
