It was recently reported that Big Cass has heat backstage because he went off script during a recent SmackDown Live segment involving a little person dressed as Daniel Bryan.
Specifically, the plan was for Cass to deliver a big boot to the impersonator and then stop. However, the SmackDown Star asked permission to continue the assault afterward and went on to do so, despite Officials denying it.
During a recent episode of his X-Pac 1,2,360 podcast, Sean “X-Pac” Waltman discussed this topic among other things and shared his thoughts on the matter.
Waltman said that they have a saying in the pro wrestling industry that it’s better to say sorry than to ask permission for something and get told no.
However, continuing on the topic, the former WWE Star said that a lot of wrestlers have gone against the grain but they have never asked for permission and then went on to do something after being denied:
“A lot of us have gone against the grain and done things that the company doesn’t like, but we never really went and asked for permission, but specifically told no, and then went and did it anyway on live TV. So, I understand if you feel the need, you wanna go out there and get over, but man.”
Later in the interview, Sean Waltman said that the issue is not with him asking but defying the Officials and said that while he likes Cass, someone “can be in the doghouse so long, [WWE can] forget what you’re in there for.”
