WWE Hall of Famer Sean Waltman recently took to an episode of the Pro Wrestling 4 Life podcast, where he talked about his reaction to the news of WWE releasing top Superstars like Braun Strowman.
Sean Waltman said:
“Some of them are bigger name than others, the biggest being Braun Strowman.” “He was the champion. He was in one of the main events of WrestleMania last year. It’s a surprise, but it’s not a shock. Nothing like that shocks me when it comes to that. People are speculating as to why. A lot of people are talking.”
Waltman then talked about if he thinks WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will sell the WWE due to the recent talent cuts.
Sean Waltman said:
“Yeah, sure. I don’t know that he’s ready to do so yet.” ”He might want to cash out. It could be like, ‘Yeah, I’ll sell, but I’ll still have some say over the company.’ Didn’t something like that happen when AOL bought Turner Broadcasting? Didn’t Ted Turner still keep a little bit of stroke? But I think it’s just as likely they’re just trying to get the bottom line as best as they can get it working for their shareholders.”
Waltman then talked about where he sees these recently released WWE Superstars possibly ending up.
Sean Waltman said:
“I mean, they can. I don’t know if AEW wants them all.” “The landscape of the industry right now, it’s interesting. I just can’t imagine Strowman or Aleister Black having a hard time figuring out what they want. They might have a hard time deciding, but there’s plenty of opportunities. Lana and Miro together, sure, why not? It’s a little different now because he’s not the ‘Bulgarian Brute,’ that whole monster. He has a different vibe now. It’s like when I left WCW and became X-Pac. It was kind of an extension of Syxx. It was basically the same.”
