Sean Waltman touched on a few topics surrounding WrestleMania 35 on his podcast recently including the headliner of the evening being the triple-threat match for the Raw Women's Championship. Check out highlights and video below.
āThe Monday after Mania when I was sitting there next to Ronda and telling her youāre gonna be main-eventing WrestleMania next year. Ta-da! People like myself and just other like-minded thinkers; you throw that out there into the Universe and itās funny how things happen. Itās the right time. I really like what Ronda is doing as a villain right now. A lot of the best villains are the ones that think they are right. That think they are the good guy.There are people that are criticizing all of this, I couldnāt disagree with you more. I think itās all playing out rather nicely and I just think some people donāt like being worked. They donāt like being caught up in it. I just think itās great. It was Charlotte and Ronda, that was the match. And Becky Lynch just came in and said āfāk all that, I am here too.ā And she did a great job. She wasnāt the chosen one and it didnāt matter. And at least this time they are listening to the people.ā
āIf youāre running a show that weekend then you are piggybacking off of WWE. And I donāt think they are [AEW] trying to be in the market of piggybacking off of anyone. Itās a strong statement and itās the right thing to do. You solidify your own identity and your own space. Youāre own footprint in the wrestling space.ā
Ā āDanny Davis deserves to be in the conversation. He does, thereās a lot of reasons for that, I am not gonna get into it. Itās nice to see Jim being inducted. Iāve always been a big fan of Jim Neidhart. The character of Jim āThe Anvilā Neidhart added so much. He was solid in the ring too, really good. His role in the Hart Foundation he was great. He was a really good solid power guy that could move in there too. Just him and Bret, they were such a great team. All the little detail stuff in tag team wrestling that is lost sometimes.The Hart Foundation versus The Brain Busters, if you can find that match it is fantastic. I think it may have been a Saturday Nightās Main Event. And obviously their matches with The [British] Bulldogsā¦ Those matches were so ahead of their time, you see a whole WWF card back then, The [British] Bulldogs vs. Hart Foundation was so out of place. They were out there just going to town. So congratulations to the Hart Foundation!ā
āI wanna know where [El] Hijo Del Fantasma is gonna show up since heās not going back to Triple A [AAA]. He was a guy that you know I talked to them [WWE] about when they asked me. I think Iāve mentioned this, I donāt know how long ago. Well they asked me, Canyon [Cemen] had asked me to maybe take a trip down there [to Mexico] after [Alberto] Del Rio left the first time. And Fantasma was one of the guys, because he could speak English, heās got a great look, he fit most of the criteria they were asking for but there was some issue. He had a tryout down there. And he got a lot of heat for going down there and doing a tryout and then ended up not getting hired for some technical reason, for some silly thing obviously that I think they would overlook now. And I donāt know what that is even. I just know it didnāt work and then he got heat down there, in the industry down there in Mexico over it.Immediately, after I saw that last night, I was actually gonna call and be like, āHey do you know that El Hijo del Fantasma is available?ā but I am sure they knowā¦ Itās kinda pathetic that Joey [Ryan] and the rest of them had to take this to court. While you are all sitting there trying to figure out whether youāre gonna do another season or not, other people have to make a living. I get it, cause thatās how they do things in TV and maybe the talent should have been a little more careful on what they signed. But when you donāt have any leverage you sign whatever. And then just hope for the best.ā
