"Stone Cold" Steve Austin recently spoke with Sean "X-Pac"
Waltman on the family-friendly Steve Austin Show. During the
interview, the conversation turned to the topic of A.J. Styles.
Waltman said that WWE would be open to signing Styles now and
told a story about shooting up meth prior to a match against
Styles.
On the show, Austin asked Waltman why WWE will not sign A.J.
Styles. Waltman replied that he thinks WWE will sign Styles now
and the issue is really whether Styles would be willing to give
up his present situation.
"He's probably happy with what he's doing," Waltman stated.
Waltman stated that he hopes that Styles signs with WWE and does
it while he is still healthy. Waltman added, "from the time I
worked with him, like, he's ten times better now."
As noted, Waltman also said that he injected meth before a TNA
match against A.J. Styles in 2002. Waltman described his conduct
as "so unfair" to Styles and "unprofessional." Despite that,
Waltman acknowledged that they went out and "had one hell of a
match."
"I was in the bathroom stall the whole time and didn't get one
thing called before we went out there," Waltman said. "I just
told him, 'I'll see you out there'."
Waltman said that he recently was on a show with Styles and had
a chance to apologize to him for that incident.
"I should have apologized to him a long time before that,"
Waltman admitted.
In addition to talking about A.J. Styles, Waltman and Austin
discussed Waltman's WWF debut, what professional wrestling
territories they would visit with a time machine, and much more.

Only in TNA this will happen . WWE will never let you talk about
this and I really think AJ would of been pissed off with him for
this . This is not safe to work with a guy who is off their head
tbh

Sean was in a dark place at that time. I am shocked that TNA did
not do any drug tests

Wrestling business was very different at this time. There was
plenty of drug use in the 90s and early 2000s WWE, and the rest
of industry was worse. Seems like everyone was turning the other
way since these guys were such big stars at the time. While this
situation lacks context, I don't think anybody would do a drug
test before a match either. Seems like the industry has evolved
well beyond incidents like this or the Jeff Hardy Victory Road
incident. Keyword, seems. I'm sure these companies still look
the other way. If they could get away with things like steroid
abuse, rampant drug use, and backstage violence, they wouldn't
care as long as it didn't get out publicly.

TNA have had a lot of bad press over the years from guys on
drugs and still getting in the ring . For me Jeff vs sting was
shocking
