Sean “X-Pac” Waltman recently appeared as a guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, X-Pac commented on whether he would wrestle another match:
“Most definitely. Yeah, I’ve been training, feeling good. If I needed to be in a match, like a six-man or, you know, something like that, I could kill it. I could do all the stuff I used to do.”
His X-Pac theme music:
“A lot of people tell me they liked the X-Pac theme. I never did. I always liked the DX. I always liked, the, Break it Down. but my all time favorite is the Run DMC remix.”
The X-Factor song:
“I’ve already admitted this a bunch of times, but that was my idea, not necessarily that song. Shane McMahon comes up to me and they’re trying. They’re trying with me and he goes ‘Hey, we’re thinking about having Red Hot Chili Peppers do your theme music and I go, ‘No, I want Uncle Cracker.”
If he likes the DX or NWO music better:
“DX. Come on, man.I mean that NWO theme is iconic too, but come on.”
On getting sued for the interview he did on WWE TV about WCW holding Nash and Hall hostage:
“I got deposed for that, for the part where I said Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be right here with me if they weren’t being held hostage by WCW. I’m sitting in the deposition, and WCW or the Turner or whatever lawyer, and I have my lawyer that was also Jesse Ventura’s lawyer who’s there with me. He goes, ‘So why did you say Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be right there with you if they weren’t being held hostage by WCW.’ I said, ‘Well, I was talking to Kevin the night before and he told me it would be a good idea if I said that.”
If there was anybody that didn’t want to take the Bronco Buster:
“Oh, yeah. Well, first of all in WCW, after like the first couple of weeks, Eric said, ‘You can’t do that anymore.’ There was, I don’t know. Standards and Practice said it was lascivious or something like that. I remember doing it on Rey Mysterio and doing it on his back instead so like everything wasn’t in his face. I remember we were gonna do it on Rick Steiner once and then have him like, put his foot up and hit me in the balls on the second one, and he wouldn’t go down for the first one, so we said, ‘Fu** it.’ Mick Foley didn’t want to take it. He talks about it in his book actually. Then later when it became a thing where it got this huge pop, everyone wanted to take it because we’re all addicted to the pop, right?”
