— Sean “X-Pac “Waltman’s three month stay in a treatment facility in Houston has come to an end as he checked out of it earlier today, reports prowrestling.NET. In a phone conversation last night, Waltman said he was in a “great place mentally” and feels “it’s time to take the next step.” Waltman was supposed to get out of the facility last month, but decided to stay a few more weeks to get additional care. Waltman will continue to take part in an outpatient program with World Wrestling Entertainment covering all of the expenses. Waltman stated in the phone conversation last night that he has spoken with Triple H about landing a behind the scenes role with WWE. Waltman also thanked WWE and Vince McMahon for their help, as well as TNA wrestler Kevin Nash, who went out of his way to pick up Waltman up from his residence in Mexico and escort him to the treatment facility. Waltman’s first advertised wrestling appearance is on June 7 for an NWA event, and he is currently accepting additional wrestling bookings.
— Wrestling legend Terry Funk appeared on the Between the Ropes radio show out of Orlando last Tuesday night to talk about what he’s up to. The hosts asked Funk whether he thinks he will be invited to the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony when WrestleMania weekend takes place in Houston next year. “I think it would be wonderful, but I’m not going to beg for it,” Funk said. “You have to remember what the Hall of Fame is. It is a wonderful thing, but it’s still Vince McMahon’s and what he wants to do. If Vince likes you then you’ve in there, if not then you’re not. And I’m not knocking that. If I had the power he does I’d do the same damn thing. You know, I hated Buddy Rogers and I’d make sure that son of a bitch was never in there.”
