Sean Waltman recently interviewed Molly Holly and Shawn Daivari on his 1,2,360 show and during the show he talked about WWE possibly buying TNA’s tape library and more. You can listen to the full episode here, and you can also check out the full video along with some highlights below.
Sean Waltman on WWE possibly purchasing TNA’s tape library: “I think it’s the best scenario that could’ve played out, for everyone. It’s a win/win for both parties, because the TNA brand is just so tainted. There are a lot of guys that are currently there that probably wouldn’t get picked up or brought back to WWE. So it’s great that there’s still going to be that place for them. They’ll be able to build a brand from scratch and hopefully do it the right way. I have a lot of faith in Billy Corgan, that he’s going to do a really good job. So I think this is going to be a good thing for the industry as a whole.”
Waltman on AAA’s statement about Alberto Del Rio: “AAA has a lot of nerve to respond like that. I’ve worked with them. I know them very well, I’m going to say, their boss Dorian [Roldan]. On this show I’m really going to do my best not to go negative. But in this case this guy is so unprofessional and disrespects his talent so much, makes people wait hours outside his office for meetings, and these people they can’t complain because they’re afraid they’ll lose their jobs.”
Molly Holly on her early training: “I had been wanting to get into Dean Malenko’s school, and at the time he was saying, no I’m not training any more girls. I’ve been there, done that. I want nothing to do with it. And so I was just working the indies around Tampa and I got booked just to do a dark match with WCW and Dean Malenko saw me wrestle Malia Hosaka. He pulled me aside and he said, if you want to come down to my school you can. And I needed it, you know? I was horribly green. There was so much I didn’t know. And so Dean let me come to his school, and every now and then Eddie Guerrero would stop in. And so I’d say I got most of my skilled training from Dean Malenko.”
Molly Holly on training the Nitro Girls in WCW: “When I was training at the [WCW] Power Plant that’s when a lot of the Nitro Girls were being forced into becoming wrestlers, and I would put down the crash pads and show them on the crash pads and there were a few old-timers that were like, oh they’re not paying their dues, this is crap, they should be taking the bumps just like everyone else. I’m like, first of all they don’t even want to be wrestlers. They want to just earn a living and they’re being forced from going to being dancers to models to being wrestlers. Why would I hurt them? Why would I intentionally be giving them concussions? So I’m a fan of doing things safe and I know that almost all of my concussions definitely happened before I got to the television level of professional wrestling. So I don’t want anybody to be messed up for life because they wanted to follow their dream and their passion.”
