Waltman has worked alongside Triple H throughout his career as a significant part of the D-Generation X stable. In talking with ‘The Game,’ Waltman explains that the former WWE Champion gave his opinion on the up-and-coming ‘Johnny Wrestling’ character.
“It was heartbreaking when he (Johnny Gargano) didn’t win. It was. It sucked, but it was so good. And Hunter (Triple H) told me, I hit him up afterward and he was like, ‘Yeah Gargano is the last of the white meat babyfaces.’ And that’s pretty much true right now. Not that there can’t be any more you know? But as far as what we have to choose from right now he’s the guy that kind of fits that. I don’t really see anyone else.”
Waltman also discussed why the new XFL revival might actually be a serious product and success story.
“Well, I knew it was going to happen when Vince (McMahon) sold a bunch of stock, couple hundred million dollars in stock and started an LLC. They’ve given themselves two years to get this off the ground and last time they had two months. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to bet against this working. We just have to wait and see what happens. I’m just saying there is an appetite for that right now.”
