Sean ‘X-Pac’ Waltman Talks About Mustafa Ali‘s Concussion Plus What It’s Like Being A Smaller Guy In The Ring
I thought Kofi{Kingston} did a great job, he was great and that guy is always ready for situations like that. Tough break for Mustafa {Ali}, and this is the thing that we have to; and when I say ‘we’ I am talking about people like Mustafa. I had to deal with it because I am about a similar size as he is, when you’re not working with guys your own size and everyone is way bigger than you, guys aren’t afraid to run right through you, and not even hit you in dangerous places but just the collision alone, and sometimes it would ring your bell. So, I have a little bit of a concern, I hope that’s not an ongoing theme. All I am saying, people like the bigger guys; cause I’ve been the bigger guy strangely enough. I’ve been the bigger guy working with guys like {Rey} Mysterio or other guys that I was quite a bit bigger than and it’s easy to not realize. And even with guys bigger than me cause I hit hard. I hit a guy with a clothesline last year and rung his bell pretty good and I hit him in a safe spot. I just think guys should be mindful ‘okay this guy is a hundred pounds lighter than me maybe I shouldn’t hit him full on’ even if it’s in a safe spot.
