Wes Lee and Nash Carter, aka MSK, recently appeared on Sean Waltman’s Pro Wrestling 4 Life podcast. During the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions appearance on the show, they recalled asking Sean's permission to use the Bronco Buster. Check out the highlights from their discussion with X-Pac:
Wes Lee on asking Sean if they could use the Bronco Buster:
“Funny story…so the very first time that we met Mr. Sean Waltman, we came up to him and we let him know that we do the Bronco Buster and we let him know that we do it in honor of him and as a tribute,” Wes Lee explained. “We asked if we could do it on the show, like with him, on the same show and he was very honored, he definitely voiced that he’s humbled and honored that we wanted to continue the life of the Bronco Buster…but at the same time he was like look, ‘I gotta do this tonight’ and we completely understood.”
Waltman says he was honored by them asking:
“Here’s how I picture that it went for me, I was like hey man, I’m honored, I appreciate that you guys are doing that as a tribute or whatever…but I got like four or five moves…and that’s one of them, you guys understand, right?”
Wes explains why “respect is a very big thing to us”:
“We completely understand because if you would’ve said like don’t do any of my stuff at all, we would’ve taken the move completely out of our move-set,” said Lee. “Respect is a very big thing to us and that’s one of the reasons that we work as hard as we do…we want the respect of our peers and of the fans as well because of how much we dedicate ourselves to this and you’re a veteran, you’re one of the people that we looked up to and if you said hey, don’t, we would’ve been like okay, cool, no longer.”
