X-Pac welcomes Nick Hausman from WrestleZone to the show.
Hausman notes that he tweeted out how much he enjoyed the opening segment of this past week’s RAW, with Ronda Rousey paying tribute to Jim Neidhart. However, a lot of fans responded to him saying that they thought it was disgusting how WWE used Neidhart’s death as part of a wrestling angle. X-Pac says he didn’t have any issue at all with the way Neidhart’s death was used during the opening segment of RAW. He says that when he dies he’d love for someone to turn his death into an angle and make some money from it.
News broke this past week that Colt Cabana is suing his old friend CM Punk. Hausman notes he’s sad to see CM Punk and Colt Cabana at each other’s throats. Punk is a notoriously unlikable person, whereas Cabana seems to be a very likeable person who has been a fan favourite for years. Hausman actually thinks Punk might receive the majority of the negative backlash from fans if he doesn’t do something to fix this issue.
Hausman notes that the co-promoted show by ROH and NJPW at Madison Square Garden has sold out. It’s scheduled to take place the night before WrestleMania, and Hausman thinks this is a tremendous story for professional wrestling. X-Pac notes that he’s been telling people for a long time now that we’re in the middle of a “boom” in the wrestling industry, and things like this only strengthen his point.
X-Pac feels that WWE should hand out times for the Hall of Fame induction speeches. He points out that like a wrestling show, main event talent should get more time than guys who aren’t at that level. He thinks it’s the “most selfish damn thing in the world” when some people stand up there for hours delivering a speech, He says he’d give himself 15 minutes to deliver a speech if he was ever inducted.
