X-Pac Reveals He Turned Down WrestleMania Match With Chris Jericho

Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Aug 28, 2017

Sean Waltman, better known to WWE fans as X-Pac recently discussed his career with Stone Cold Steve Austin on his Podcast. During the interview, Waltman revealed how he turned down a WrestleMania match with Christ Jericho. Below are the interview highlights: 

Waltman on why he thinks he didn’t have a better career in WWE: “I think, for me, I should have worked harder on my mic skills and I should have been a lot easier to deal with and I would have been pushed a lot better. I was really… I was really, with my first run there, I felt like I let a lot of stuff happen there that I shouldn’t have and so I overcompensated for it when I came back. If I thought anybody was messing with me, I was difficult. And also, I didn’t allow them to work me more than 15 days a month and when you do that, then it kind of takes a lot of the opportunities off the table.”

Waltman on how he turned down a WrestleMania match with Chris Jericho: “I was always a contrarian. I’m going to give you an example and I might’ve told you this one because I’ve told it several times of an example of what a dumbass I was. Shane McMahon comes up to me, ‘yeah, we’re going to have just the Red Hot Chili Peppers do your theme music.’ I’m like, ‘no, I want Uncle Kracker.’ I mean, come on, man. Another one, it was Vince and Shane, ‘we’re thinking of having you work Jericho at ‘Mania for the I.C. belt.’ I’m like, ‘no, I want to finish my program with Kane, which was already way on its last legs, Steve, but ‘no, I want to do this.’ So I mean, does that give you an example?”

X-Pac on which current WWE Superstar’s Body he would want: “Randy Orton. That’s just [off the top of Waltman’s head]. I mean, there [are] several other guys I could think of, but, Randy, okay, Randy Orton. Man, talk about good genetics.”
