Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Shares His Feelings On Roman Reigns’ Leukemia Announcement from Monday Night Raw

I tuned in last night probably seconds after he mentioned Leukemia so I was like ‘what’s going on here?’ And the people are like, ‘Thank you, Roman!’ and I’m like, ‘what are they doing?’…They are usually shitting all over him. ‘What’s going on here?’ And then at the end when he said that {having leukemia}… So I had heard most of the promo without knowing the beginning part of the Leukemia thing. And when you know somebody especially, not just when you know them but when they are a part of your fraternity. Even if you have an age gap or generation gap, whatever. These people are still our brothers and sisters and we love each other. And especially for me, the family, the Anoa’i family have been very good to me. Rikishi was in here (Ep. 84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkbLYqweRg4) we were talking about that with him when he was in here. I know that whole family. It was like someone kicked me in the balls you know, so you sit there and think about what this guy is going through. His wife and his daughter and all that and what they’re going through. And to go out there and tell everyone what’s going on and keep your head held high and not breaking down. Not that there’s anything wrong with breaking down and shedding a tear out there cause that’s fine too. But just to be able to go out there and keep it together and tell everyone what you have, to tell them like that. God damn, that has got to be hard… I imagine that all the best things, the best medicine will be available for him. We are just going to proceed with the attitude and belief that he is going to come through this and make a complete recovery, this thing is going to go into remission again and we are going to see him back. The main thing was, forget about seeing him back in the ring let’s just make sure his daughter can grow up with a father.

Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman on Who He Thinks Will Now Take The Universal Championship

They (WWE) can always pivot at any point because I mean that’s kind of how they operate now. There is always a chance that somebody is going to go down with an injury, or an illness. Not so much like some kind of a scandal or like an Enzo type of thing. But there is that outlying possibility of silly shit happening too but mainly injuries and things like that. So you are always going to have to have a Plan B. And I see a big ass Plan B in Braun Strowman and I think they’ll (WWE) will go with him… I can see him in that spot…

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
