Sean Waltman is missing and no one has heard from him, according to a statement on the IPW: UK Facebook page. On Sunday, he was supposed to team with Scott Star and Chakara against Sammy Smooth, Adam ‘Flex’ Maxted and Livvi Grace in a six-person tag team match. This was supposed to be Waltman’s final match in the UK. The idea behind the six-person match was to protect him because his body is pretty banged up now.
Below is the statement the promotion posted:
:: With regret, unless a miracle occurs, X-Pac will no longer be appearing at the Extreme Measures 2017 event later today.
He was scheduled to land in the UK on Saturday at 2pm, but 12 hours later and nobody has heard from him. We wish Sean well and hope he is safe. Sometimes you do everything you can but it’s completely out of our hands.
:: We spent Saturday attempting to check if flights were possible for an international name to replace him, but at such short notice the options were next to none. As a result, we have been searching up and down the UK for available replacements and as you will see on the day tomorrow, we think we’ve found the best option at short notice.
:: All other advertised wrestlers are in the country and ready for the show.
:: Jimmy Havoc will be joining the Meet & Greet to replace X-Pac.
:: Anybody who had an Interval photo package, The London Riots will replace X-Pac in the photo package. You’re also immediately given a £10 reduction on package you’ve purchased, or if you wish you may obtain a full refund. Just let us know at the event.
:: Furthermore, if you’ve placed an order for the X-Pac IPW:UK tee, you may either keep your purchase of the tee as some kind of collectors item, or have a complete refund.
Any further questions can be directed to us by private message, we will endeavor to reply to all messages before door time.
Waltman’s last tweet was 24 hours ago and he seemed to be in happy spirits. We hope everything is alright the man.
