Sean is no stranger to anyone who has watched pro
wrestling during the 90's. He started his career in the
early 90's as "The Lightning Kid" in the now defunct
Global Wrestling Federation. In the summer of 1993, he
went to the World Wrestling Federation, where he was
first known just as "The Kid", then after a fast and
spectacular upset against Razor Ramon, he was
renamed "The 123 Kid".
Waltman's style was a mix of martial arts and high risk maneuvers making him
seems as of the biggest risk takers in the business. But with a 6"1" frame only
carrying 212 lbs. at the time Waltman knew he had to do something more than
most to get noticed.
He was a 'babyface' for most of his WWF career until he underwent a "heel turn" in
October of 1995. That is when he joined Ted DiBiase's "Million Dollar Corporation",
selling out to DiBiase while acting as guest referee between his former best friend
Razor Ramon and Million Dollar Corporation member Psycho Sid, helping Sid to
win the match, and setting up a feud with Razor Ramon which culimated in the
infamous and much protested Crybaby Match at the February 1996 IYH PPV.
He took a sort of sabbatical for two months to heal some nagging injuries he had
sustained over the previous year only to return to find out that Vince was really no
longer interested in his services. There was a verbal agreement after a couple
weeks of discussion with the end result being that Waltman was to be released
from the WWF.
After another waiting period Waltman's signed release arrived at the WWF
Headquarters in September of 1996 finally allowing Sean to sign with WCW. Sean
joined his friends Scott Hall and Kevin Nash on September 16, 1996 9 weeks after
his negotiations had begun with the WWF for his release and one day after Fall
Brawl.
Sean was once again injured by Larry Zybysko on the Monday Nitro after
Halloween Havoc. Waltman had major surgery in January 1998 to remove two
vertebrae in his neck and has been undergoing rehabilitation ever since.
In what is being termed as not only as a political move but also a sign of who really
has the power in WCW, Eric Bischoff recently released Waltman. Sean
re-appeared in the WWF on Monday Night RAW on March 30, 1998 as the newest
member of D-Generation X once again being reunited with Hunter Hearst Helmsley
and The Kliq.
First impressions speak volumes. Although March 30
was not the first time World Wrestling Federation fans
saw X-Pac, (formerly the 1-2-3 Kid) it was the first time
they saw him like this. No longer was he a fresh faced,
innocent looking kid. Now he wore a beard and dark
glasses as a member of the most notorious group in
the Federation--D-Generation X. After grabbing the
microphone from Triple H, X-Pac went on a tirade
aimed at not only at his peers in the Federation, but
some former co-workers down south. X-Pac belittled
aged wrestler Hulk Hogan and his brown-nosed employer, Eric Bischoff, before
warning the rest of the World Wrestling Federation that a new day has dawned for
D-Generation X--and everyone was going to know about it!
These are some X-PAC pics.
