During a recent interview with WrestleTalk TV, Sean “X-Pac” Waltman discussed being praised by Bret Hart, his match with Owen Hart at the 19994 King of the Ring pay-per-view and more. Here are some highlights:
On the Owen Hart match helping advance his career: “We got an awful lot of s–t in in a short amount of time without it feeling rushed. People could still digest what we were doing. Everything was tight and solid, and we were really hitting each other. Just good wrestling. I had the match with Bret not long after that, then one with Owen on Raw not long after that.”
On getting praised by Bret Hart: “It was dark and I couldn’t see, and I was selling the three piledrivers Jeff Jarrett gave me after I beat him earlier in the night. It was like ‘here’s what you have to work with time-wise.’ When we came back through the curtain Bret said it was the best match he’d seen up until that point with that much time to work with.”
