From Superstar Wrestlers
There is no denying that X-Pac has had a very interesting career. Long-time X-Pac supporters will undoubedly recall that when the youngster burst upon the scene he was known as the 1-2-3 Kid. The Kid earned his moniker by his lightning-fast victory over Razor Ramon in the Manhattan Center in New York City during a Monday Night Raw. From his auspicious start, the 1-2-3 Kid went on to have a very successful career during his first stint in the WWF. However, like many long-time employees who work at one place for too long, the Kid became stale in his surroundings and begged out of his contract after his friends Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) and Diesel (Kevin Nash) joined WCW.
At first the WWF refused to honor the Kid's request. But eventually they grew tired of his moaning and complaining and let him go. Free of his WWF obligations, the Kid, through the help and influence of Hall, received a sizable money offer from WCW. The Kid immediately signed and withing weeks he was accompanying Hall to he ring. Hall and Nash nicknamed him Syxx and be came a big part of the "Outsiders" group in the nWo. However, Syxx's tenure in WCW was greatly marred by injury and controversy and when his contract expired, he was let go by WCW.
Sean Waltman (his given name) was only home less than a week when he received a call he thought would never come- from the WWF. Considering the way that Waltman had left the WWF, he felt that he would never return there. But let's not forget that the wrestling profession has its own set of rules and you should never say "never." When Sean got the call from the WWF offices in Stamford, Connecticut, he immediately boarded the next flight from Minnesota to Stamford. And in a matter of days he was christened X-Pac and reunited with another friend, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, in Degeneration-X!
Since rejoining the WWF, X-Pac has become an integral part of DX and is now one of the biggest stars in the federation. And to think that it all started with a quick 1-2-3 on Raw more than five years ago!
