Hurricane Says He Would Have Loved To Work with Enzo Amore

I really hate the whole Enzo situation or whatever all happened to him and I don’t know all the details so I’m not going to get into it but he was a star there (205 Live). He was the guy that brought attention to the show and he was a guy I would have loved to had worked with if I was Hurricane. He would have been a perfect heel. He would have been the Joker to my Batman he would have been perfect for me.

Hurricane On Social Media Playing A Part In His Royal Rumble Booking

2017 was really good and 2018 it’s just like something kicked back into gear cause fans are really taking to a lot of stuff. All the crazy shit I put on social media fans are really digging that. That’s actually been a real big boom. The whole Rumble appearance happened because of something I posted on Instagram. When they were thinking about who to add to the Rumble at that particular moment something I put up went kinda viral and it clicked. Oh, we should get the Hurricane.

Hurricane On Keeping His Royal Rumble Appearance A Secret

We only finalized it the week before. I know they (WWE) wanted me to come in years prior but I was either contractually obligated to other companies or at one time I was actually injured and couldn’t do it. This time the timing was just right. So it worked out really well. I was just happy we were able to keep it a secret. In today’s social media age, the fact that we were able to keep it, sneaking through the airports in a disguise. Even the boys didn’t know. The other guys in the Rumble didn’t know until about thirty minutes before the Rumble match started. The pay-per-view was underway and they still didn’t know until they brought me and Rey [Mysterio] in the building.

Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Remembering Owen Hart

I had an excellent tag match on that show (Over The Edge) and it doesn’t really matter because you know everything done on that show was eclipsed and overshadowed by the tragic passing of our friend. When these types of anniversaries come up and our friends are no longer here, it makes us have fond memories, hopefully. And I have tons of fond memories of Owen I could do a whole show. So today I just wanted to remind everyone, so I sent a tweet out sharing a match that I had with Owen on RAW… It was a really good match so I decided to share it with everyone today. I hope you all enjoy it… We love you Owen and obviously, you’re so missed it’s not even funny.

Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Thoughts On SmackDown On FOX Possibly Being Live

It’s going to be live. I’m saying that as though it’s a fact but I think I’m pretty safe to go out on a limb there and say it’s going to be live. Who wants to pay that much money for a taped show? Now, the Friday house show is just SmackDown and that’s the way it is and I think that’s just fine actually.

Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Talks About WWE Stock Prices

And the stock price went through the roof. Not that I’m still in it, I’ll just say that right away. When the initial public offering happened in 1999. There were twelve people that were granted stock options like talent and that. I was fortunate enough to be one of them. I was granted 30,000 shares of stock. It went up to $30 a share pretty quick but what they did is I couldn’t exercise the options for like two years and then the XFL they took care of that.

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.
