They covered what Waltman is up to these days, whether he will wrestle for WWE again, and his long term goals. Then they discussed Roman Reigns, the potential WrestleMania 32 line-ups, wrestlers use of social media and whether saying \u201ckayfabe is dead\u201d makes any sense, and much more. They took phone calls throughout the show on a wide range of topics. The last 45 minutes or so included Sean\u2019s views on the current U.S. Presidential election and his reaction to the \u201cMaking a Murderer\u201d documentary and the fallout from it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE VERSION: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/interview-classic-sean-waltman-10-yrs-ago-roman-s-star-potential-wrestlers-on-social-media-making-a-murderer-presidential-election--69458620\">AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>AD-FREE VIP VERSION:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/01\/20260117WKPWP-IntClassic-VIP.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
