Sean “X-Pac” Waltman is the most recent wrestling figure to talk out about troubling fan behavior during WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas, revealing that his experience went far beyond uncomfortable encounters.
With multiple incidents involving wrestlers and overzealous fans making headlines — including a viral moment involving CM Punk — Waltman shared his own story on social media, describing a situation he says crossed serious boundaries.
Responding to footage of Punk knocking a phone out of a fan’s hand, Waltman didn’t hold back. He claimed that he was not only harassed but physically assaulted throughout the week’s festivities. He wrote,
“That guy & all the remainder like him can get f*****. It was insane how these people were. I got physically assaulted & camera shoved in my face, stalked in the lavatory, & more. I dont have an issue w people taking pictures or recording in public. It’s whenever you invade someone’s space, stick cameras in peoples faces, I even have an issue with that.”
Waltman was actively involved in WrestleMania week festivities, appearing at WWE World events and participating within the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, where he helped induct Dennis Rodman.
His comments add to a growing list of concerns from talent regarding fan conduct during one in every of wrestling’s biggest weeks, highlighting the continuing issue of non-public boundaries being ignored in public spaces.
