There were a lot of indy shows I\u2019d go to, I walked in the locker room and some of the guys would be looking at me, wouldn\u2019t even say hi or anything, would just look at me like, &#8216;What are you doing here?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022How he and Sean would promote their GWF matches:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;We\u2019d go to Kinko\u2019s and [Sean] you yourself would print up the tickets, and you\u2019d make the flyers and printed up the flyers, and we\u2019d go and drop flyers and tickets off at different places that would let us. Sean did a lot of promoting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On his first time in the WWF locker room: &#8220;<\/strong>One Man Gang, he\u2019s wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt and playing with a yo-yo. Standing next to him was\u00a0Rick Rude\u00a0and\u00a0Curt Hennig, waiting for their turn to play with that yo-yo. I\u2019m sitting there watching this and at first I\u2019m thinking, &#8216;Holy crap, these guys are big!&#8217; I\u2019m thinking, if the fans could only see this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On his feelings about winning the Ring of Honor World Championship:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;I was glad for my run in Ring of Honor. It actually did reignite my career for some more years, kept me going. But after the first weekend loop, after the second night, I said to\u00a0Adam Pearce, who was booking at the time, I said I can\u2019t wait to drop this strap. He said, really? Why? I said, because they\u2019ve raised the bar so high as to what it takes to win a match now. This is taking years off my career. He says, &#8216;I\u2019d like to see what these guys look like after 20\u00a0years.&#8217; I said, &#8216;These guys aren\u2019t going to have 20\u00a0year careers.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/AxMDlLn7AUQ\">WATCH THIS INTERVIEW ON AFTERBUZZ TV<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/x-pac-1-2-360-afterbuzz-tv\/id1150124693?mt=2&amp;i=374822005\">DOWNLOAD ON ITUNES<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS PREVIOUS INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS ARTICLE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/12\/20\/interview-highlights-rey-mysterio-talks-life-wwe-dealing-smallest-kid-son-aspiring-wrestle\/\">Rey Mysterio talks about life after WWE, dealing with being smallest kid, his son aspiring to wrestle too<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1070352128\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2101553022\"><div id=\"pwtor-750433019\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&nbsp; Check out these highlights of Jerry Lynn&#8217;s interview with Sean &#8220;X-Pac&#8221; Waltman on &#8220;X-Pac 1, 2, 360&#8221; where he talks about\u00a0his first time in the WWF locker room, why he couldn&#8217;t wait to drop <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/12\/22\/interview-highlights-jerry-lynn-talks-x-pac-sean-waltman-strange-scene-inside-first-wwe-locker-room-wanted-lose-roh-title-won\/\" title=\"Interview Highlights: Jerry Lynn talks with &#8220;X-Pac&#8221; Sean Waltman about strange scene inside his first WWE locker room, why he wanted to lose ROH Title once he won it\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4247],"tags":[4470,4472,819,4471,2200,167,129,1594],"class_list":["post-36661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-interview-highlights","tag-adam-pearce","tag-curt-henna","tag-jerry-lynn","tag-one-man-gang","tag-rick-rude","tag-roh","tag-sean-waltman","tag-xpac"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Lynn_3x2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36661"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36661\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36663,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36661\/revisions\/36663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
