WWE has ran into many problems with their latest attempts at a cruiserweight division.
Sean Waltman has found success in WWE, WCW and TNA as a cruiserweight, light heavyweight and X-Division wrestler, but admitted on a recent episode of the X-Pac 12360 podcast that he didn't really want to be shoehorned into the division. According to the former Syxx, it was costing him money.
"I was the very last WWF/WWE Light Heavyweight champion. I fought a long time to not have to have that belt... One time I got my payoff and I gave him (Jim Ross) a call it was a SummerSlam payoff and I asked him if they were paying me by the pound? So that's how I felt about the pay scale there. That you were paid by the pound sometimes and it's not really but you can get that since being in the WWE at times. I didn't want that. There was no way I wanted that. That was a pay cut for me. So that was the issue."
Also on the podcast, Waltman discussed the news of Shelton Benjamin discovering a loaded gun in his Budget rental car.
"Here's the thing, in all the years of traveling around and trying to rent cars like we do. There have been a few times when you find things leftover from the last person that rented the car but like come on man a loaded gun?! Who freaking forgets something like that... Let's just use our imaginations and think of all the bad scenarios that could come from something like that."
