Sean Waltman discussed Neville’s reported WWE return, Jack Swagger signing with Bellator MMA on his latest X-Pac 1,2,360 podcast. Video and highlights are below:

On Jack Swagger joining Bellator: “Good stuff for Jack. I’m really happy for him and happy for Bellator. I wonder if he’s going to be in the Tournament?”

On reports that Neville may return to WWE: “I’m very happy to know that they have ironed everything out… Here’s the thing, it’s not about how much money you can make on the indies it’s about your sanity. It’s about when you get back there (WWE) and they start F’ing with you and burying you. You can go, crazy dude. Creative satisfaction is highly underrated. Highly, it’s right up there with money. Pretty close.”

On his experience at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla: “Well I had never been to PWG. I went a couple times and that was the first time. And I was blown away by the atmosphere and I had heard about Bryan Danielson now known as Daniel Bryan. I heard about him and I’d heard about the mystique but when I saw it for myself and I saw the reaction of the fans and I saw his in-ring work I thought wow this guy is really a star… PWG great atmosphere, great fans, really made me start to appreciate that level of work at the indie level. I’d seen Ring of Honor and I’d seen a lot of that stuff but PWG sort of showed me that there was this other thing coming. That is way more obvious now with the way the Internet works but at the time it was sort of new to me… PWG put it all together.”

On music producer Rick Ruben being a wrestling fan: “Rick produced the album that’s out now, and its acoustics, kinda like a mellow record. It’s the best-received record I’ve had out in about 20 years. It’s been a great thing and between takes, all Rick wanted to talk about is wrestling.”
