1) WWE Legend Returning To The Ring
On his X-Pac 1,2,360 podcast, Sean Waltman revealed that he will be returning to the ring. This comes after he has been cleared to wrestle after dealing with hepatitis C. After he gets a knee injury fixed, he is planning to return to the ring for one final run.
Here is what Waltman said (h/t to Fightful for the quote below):
“I had hepatitis C for a long time. I tested positive for it when I came back to TNA. After that, I couldn’t get cleared in certain states with athletic commissions, so TNA and WWE couldn’t really have me in matches. I would just do little matches, nothing serious, no blood or anything. Now I’m cured, everyone. Just this year. I hadn’t mentioned it publicly. It cost $100,000 for treatment. It’s $1,000 a pill, one pill every day. I feel great. Some people are going, ‘How come he never came back?’ That’s the reason. Now, that’s clear. I’m going to get my knee fixed, I’ve had a torn ACL since the turn of this decade, like 2008 or something. I’m going to get that fixed and sometime next year, I’ll put myself on the market, have a few more matches. Everyone thinks they have one more run left in them. Anywhere I run, it’d have to be a sprint.”
Waltman was also asked if he could wrestle a year at a regular schedule:
“No. I could [do a regular schedule], I don’t know if I want to. I’ve probably got half a dozen good, hard matches in me. When I tore my ACL, I’ve had some really good matches, even with that. I just want to get it fixed, it’s not that I can’t have matches with it. If I’m going to do a last run, I want that to be [fixed].”
My Take:
- It will be interesting to see if WWE brings him back. I am sure that will be his first priority but we will have to wait and see. It would be cool to see him wrestle a match in NXT.
