He’s one of the most controversial people in wrestling history. Not many people can draw the “heat†he can achieve by walking to ringside. It’s so white hot it’s called “X-Pac Heat.†That term is addressed and tons more as SEAN WALTMAN sits down with Kayfabe Commentaries Sean Oliver for the YouShoot series.
If this is your first purchase of a YouShoot, this is an excellent edition to start with. The concept is simple: fans (including me in the TNA section) posted questions on wrestling forums and sent in emails and 60 second videos for the guest where nothing is off limits. Sean Oliver and his staff sorts through them and then its formatted. Depending on the interview subject, the questions vary from excellent to how this person can possibly function on a daily basis let alone ask a wrestler something. Here are the topics: Early years, Gossip, TNA, Chyna, Sex, Drugs, Mexico, sh*t, Heat & Potpourri.
Like I mentioned nothing is off limits in this one and needless to say it’s intended for mature audiences. Waltman goes from his beginning days in wrestling working for Global in Dallas to a tryout in WCW then WWE. Sean’s recent tenure in TNA is covered while there is no specific chapter on WWE or WCW which is a letdown but rumors about Tammy Sytch and Shawn Michaels. All the controversial stuff is here including the entire relationship with Joanie “Chyna†Lauer including the back story to HHH and Chyna’s relationship in WWE. The Mexico chapter delves into Waltman’s recent substance abuse issues and suicide attempt which is humbling.
There is tons of humor mixed in with the bad in the Gossip and Sh*t chapters. The normal YouShoot games are here: the Roll a Joint Championships (legendary stuff), the Ho Bag, What a Dick, What’s in the Bag and a new game called the Sh*t Sandwich (needs to be seen to understand.) The entire “WWE Plane Ride From Hell†is covered as wells as stories regarding Scott Hall, Rena and Marc Mero, John Laurinitis, Shane Douglas, Juventud Guerrero, Ryan Shamrock, Brian Knobs, the McMahon’s, Dixie Carter, Mark Henry, Curt Hennig, Ric Flair, Rob Feinstein, Owen Hart and his ribs, the WWE Wellness Policy, Bubba the Love Sponge and much more. This is another EPIC release and you must obtain a copy for your collection.
