Would You Like To See X-Pac Back In The WWE?

[PlayTheGame]

So we all know about the rise and fall of X-Pac/Sean Waltman. He went from being a member of one of the WWE's best stables, DX, to becoming a member of the NWO, to... being fired. Unfortunately, Waltman became involved with drugs, drinking, and the like, has had alot of problems with former gf Chyna, and a plethora of other problems that have really torn away at his wrestling career... but, truth be told, he's not that bad of a wrestler.. and, if used correctly, I think he would be a decent mid carder in the WWE. But, if he ever got completely cleaned up and re-focused on wrestling, would you want to see him back in WWE? I, for one, would because this is a guy who was with the company back in the early days of Raw, in the early 90's. He's a veteran, like it or not. And he's still relatively young (36). I know the chances of this ever happening are extremely slim, but would you like to see him return to the WWE?

[Sparky]

I personally would like to. I think he was a good entertainer and Could wrestle better then half the roster today. I would love to see him come back and either Join a DX type stable again, or fued with HHH and/or HBK. That would be a pretty good fued and if he was showing ring rust it wouldn't be so obvious. I could see him possible withthe united states championship or maybe even the ECW title. and he could be an interesting champion.

How ever, Because i would like to have it happen the chances are miniscule, and there is no chance we shall ever see Him return to the WWE.

[kenvin100]

Sure, why not, he needs a break off the porno flicks and can prollly reform a DX trio on Raw or something. :D

But on a serious note, I wish he did come back, it was great seeing him back in the day, and heck for some reason I feel he can have a good match with Mysterio.

[Sasha Fierce]

I always like X-Pac. His fast paced style and his flashy moves are what I enjoy from wrestling so it would be nice to have him back. He also could get heat very easily but most say it's because he was a douche hole. Personal thoughts aside I see no real point of it anymore.

While he has some name value since he was in WCW and WWE, just like DLo Brown & Sunny I think the fans really wouldn't care. Add in the fact he's been rumored to be an ass backstage and he would just take up a deserving spot from a rookie, I say don't bother. He's good friends with HHH & HBK so anythings possible but I just don't see any benefits from it, unless they plan a DX reunion again or something.

[PlayTheGame]

I think that, at the least, he should do a special appreance and/or a match with the WWE, sort of like how RVD returns every once and awhile. I think he would get a decent reaction, and I'm sure the announcers would put him over. If he actually had a good match and wasnt too much of an asshole backstage, then maybe the WWE would then think about bringing him back in some capacity. Just a viable thought.

[Kyphael]

He still wrestles full time down in Mexico in one of those Lucha Libre companies (I forgot whether it was AAA or CML.) Him and Konnan, which surprised me because from what I saw, Konnan never even wrestled when he was with TNA. Anyway, back to topic, if this was 2006, then yes, I say bring X-Pac back for the re-formed DX with HBK and HHH but that's been done and over with so there's no more use for X-Pac. The only prominence he ever had was with the group. His finisher and ring name are spin offs of it. Beyond it, he's just an average, plain old wrestler. I don't even think he ever won the Intercontinental Championship. Then again, he tenured in the company when the belt was actually worth a damn.

[I_Like_All_Wrestling]

Reforming DX is a terrible idea, just like reforming the nwo. DX is a YOUNG rebellious stable it doesn't work with HHH, HBK or X-Pac anymore. Could he exist successfully without a stable? I don't think so. I'm not that interested in him when he's not attached to anyone, he's a group player.

[TM]

I don't want Waltman back and neither does WWE. Waltman is the example of the dark lives that wrestlers live. Waltman is a suicide risk, a drug failure risk, and a lose cannon. WWE does not need to be further associated with that. Waltman was good... interesting in the ring, but so were other people who have left the WWE and were the same. He brings little to the current storylines of youthful guys, so what would be the point? Stay in Mexico.

[klunderbunker]

No. He has never meant anything at all to me. When the big pushing point for someone is that they have a lot of heart, it's code for they suck. X-Pac is nothing more than a guy that fills a roster spot. He got his spot because he was a member of the kliq. Once Vince realized how bad he was, he was gone. He got no reaction and acted like he was a big shot. Nothing special ever in my eyes, and not someone I'd want back.

[Engage87]

I would love to see Sean Waltman back in the WWE.. I have always been a big fan of him back when he was the 1.2.3 kid and then when he left WWE to go to wcw and became syxx and was in the orginal NWO and was cruiseweight champion that was vintage waltman i remember his fued with dean malenko, mysterio, guerrero and they were awesome. When he came back as X-pac he was awesome as well in the who DX stable that was cool and then his second run in the NWO was decent... but his time in TNA was decent but hes had his drug and alcohol problems and obviously everyone knowns about the whole sex tape incident. Personally, I would love it but honestly I think the WWE doesn't need him and they wouldn't do nething with him.. if they wanted him.. he'd be there right now simple as that

[NightShiftLoser]

No way. He had some decent offense, but didn't know how to work. He never sold well, and although he was put over larger opponents, I never saw how his offense made it happen. His promos were god awful. When your greatest catchphrase is "Your ass is grass, and I'm gona smoke it!", you really need to re-consider your life.

Oh, wait...He did. My bad. He's a far bigger risk than Hardy, and doesn't have nearly the same level of talent or charisma. Bringing him back would do far more bad than good, and it wouldn't be long before he was either dead, or got a pink slip. It's sad, but it's true.

[ZAPX4V1]

Stay in Mexico.

You just described Jeff Hardy, who just had the title a couple months ago. If someone like Jeff Hardy can have a job with WWE, then why not Sean Waltman? He is a lot more talented than 90% of the current roster. He could win the I.C. title from CM Punk on Raw, then have a long feud with Rey Mysterio. A feud with Morrison would be even better if Morrison can get away from Miz.

[Edge101307]

Of course I would.... I was 99.99% sure he was going to be back when he joined DX at that house show in FL about a year and a half ago.

[pandanwh]

They blew it with XPac. I would have loved to see him feud with HHH after he won the belt.

[pandanwh]

You guys are fast with busting me for spam. I just got 2 in this thread in 5 minutes. Thats why I love my moderators. Seriously though the WWE had the chance to elevate xpac with a heel turn on hhh and didnt capitalize. If you notice after dx broke up is when he went back to drugs, same with Road Dogg (who is my favorite wrestler all time and had a serious drug problem that got him fired). Xpac is a one of the long list of wrestlers who deserve the belt but never got it and now never will.

Spam that bitches

[GameOver]

ya forgot he was a jobber first, then a novelty act b4 they axed him, and he went to WCW b4 finally returning as a member of DX

Personally i could care less either way, he wasn't that special.

Anyway do you think Triple H want's him around now?.

[Tina Turner Katy PerryFan]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Why the heck are people so obsessed about X-PAC,i never saw a good match comming from him and plus he does drugs,and WWE is PG,WWE Don't you dare Consider bringing him back.That bastard couldn't fight for a CD.

[godsmackfan82]

x-pac 6-pac chyna fucker what ever you want to call him the wwe or any other promotion would be stupid to sigh him he sucks always has always will hes a piece of shit with long hair

[blair4107]

Who has ever said that Vince doesn't like X-Pac? Wasn't Vince paying the bill for X-Pac's hospital bills not that long ago, a long time after being fired (post-WWE's nWo).

When I was young he was one of my favorites but that was of course when he was with DX (I did then go back and watch his 1-2-3 Kid matches and I wanted to find some Syxx matches but I never could [haven't tried in years and I really have no desire to]). After DX finally dissolved (when they became a heel faction with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori in the group) I really started to care less and less about X-Pac and really I think Edge hit it right on the head with his shoot promo where he said something to the effect of I used to have a gimmick of being a vampire but we all change and X-Pac hadn't changed even slightly since he had become Syxx(WCW)/X-Pac(WWE)/Syxx-Pac(TNA)/Pac(WSX/XPW) He has had the very same gimmick since 1996, I don't know if you've noticed but in case you've been living under a rock it's 2009 and that's 13 years of a gimmick that got boring even before the X-Factor era (I literally just lol'd at having to say "the X-Factor era") of '01.

To say he shouldn't be rehired because of his alcohol or drug problems of the past or even possibly recent-past to present is stupid since most wouldn't say the same thing for Jeff Hardy, Stone Cold, anyone on the "Flight from Hell," etc. People have problems, deal with it. If you can accept one person's problems but not another that is just your bias against that person.

If anything could really hurt his chances it'd be his being in that sex tape with Chyna and his appearance as her boyfriend on that VH1 reality show (the one where they mix "celebrities" in a house). Those made him look pretty bad, after his best buddy HHH dropped Chyna he should have just left her alone. Granted I doubt most of WWE's demographic are really the same demographic that watch VH1's Celebreality programming.

So should they bring him back to WWE. I don't think so, I think they missed the ball with not bringing him back when they could with the whole DX coming back but personally I don't see it working unless they were just happening to be in a position to rehire Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. I could see him working for TNA and possibly helping (at least not hurting) them.

[supergav67]

I kinda think you know the answer as you ask this question.No,for the same reason RVD wont be back.This self made noose round the WWEs neck called Wellness.Asking a wrestler now if he,s on drugs is a BiT like fifty years ago,asking Vlad or Ivan Kollof if he EveR was a Commie?
Not doubting Seans wrestling ability but sadly,the stables he could join,the undercard titles he could hold & the general ring time he could get over the fans with just aint there anymore.

[Lord Sidious]

In a word ... "No".

There's a reason why the phrase was coined "X-Pac Heat". The people were generally just annoyed with the guy. People found him to be more obnoxious than anything else.

[rahum]

When D' Lo brown came back i hoped they would do a gimmick where he gets into a car accident, then has brain damage, and believes that is 1998.... he would come out with his chest protector, the European title......

wwe is told by doctors to go along with it, and it would eventually pass.... so they would have to get some of the "attitude" area guys back to fight him and start feuds with him...

that was my dream
and it never happened.

[Holy Crush The Hidden World Down Dragon]

Two words, Hell No. Why in the world would you want to see a burned out failure of a wrestler like X-Pac back in the WWE? This guy was nothing more than a clown that always sticked to the champion or DX. Besides what kind of use would he have? The WWE already has a strong line of midcarders and a lot more younger people still training in Tampa. X-Pac never entertained, was boring and the only way he got heat is because people told him to get the hell out of their sight. Sorry to say this but this is a very stupid thread.

[The Mark of Zur-En-Arrh]

I've certainly not missed him since his departure. He was a good worker back in his 1-2-3 days, and he did have a good fued with Shane-O-Mac in '99, and i enjoyed him tagging alongside Kane in '99. In fact, they were probably my favourite tag team of that year, but as soon as he turned heel late in '99, he was doomed.

Apart from the odd spin kick, bronco buster and the shitty X-Factor, what was so good about his wrestling ability? Zilcho. He only seemed to get pops for being associated with better talent. Once he tried to strike out on his own, no one seemed to care. He dragged Road Dogg and Tori down, and then people only watched him in X-Factor for Albert really. He even made Justin Credible seem worthless through association.

If he came back, the 'X-Pac sucks' chants would start immediately, and any new fans would probably be inclined to agree V-E-R-Y quickly.

No thanks.

[Tastycles]

I used to love X-Pac. Seriously, in 1998 he was huge. He was probably even more over than HHH in those times, despite being beneath him in the DX hierarchy. The crowd were behind him always, and he was actually quite entertaining both in ring and on the mic, and the crowd stayed behind him, even when DX was on the backburner and he was teaming with Kane.

However, at some point between 1998 and 2001 he became unwatchable. Everyone turned on him and there was nothing interesting about him at all. Edge put it best when he said "1998 called and they're sick of you". He was a one year wonder, and I for one would not want him back in the company on a permanent basis.

Even if he found enough vigour for a short one feud return, who would he feud? Shane is a face now and it wouldn't make sense, HHH is way way way way bigger than that, and Kane has kind of severed his ties with the past.

There's no place for Sean Waltham in the current WWE, and I doubt there ever will be again.

[justinsayne]

Well let me put it like this, you know why the fans always chant "X-pac sucks", it's because he does, with that being said why the fuck would you want to bring X-pac back anyways?, so you can get the inevitable X-pac tribute show after someone finds him hanging in his hotel room?, fuck that!!, I don't want to watch a 2 hr. RAW tribute show to this POS

Couldn't agree with you anymore HHD. X-Pac had his moments, and as a whole they sucked. With no DX and Kane clearly not interested in him, what would be the point? WWE don't need him, and he's a train wreck waiting to happen, and I don't think they'd take that gamble.

[Swolfsta22]

No, his gimmick is based on the 90s to much his wrestling abilities are good no doubt but his character just doesnt get him anywhere plus hes all doped up on drugs so his inring work would probably be extremley sloppy

[TheOneBigWill]

Outside of his "Movie Debut" with Chyna, I've always enjoyed and liked Sean Waltman. Sure, he has his major issues with drugs and as a result would likely never be brought back, but that aside I enjoyed his Wrestling career, not his personal life.

Waltman was an inspiration to me, inside the ring, because he was the first "smaller" guy that I seen make it in this business. Guys like Waltman, Kidman, and Kendrick are reasons to give the smaller built people of the world hope that they can still find a way into the business.

In my opinion, Waltman helped Kane grow when he was in a hole. I enjoyed Kane w/ X-Pac. I enjoyed the feuds the Kid would have with Ramon, then the team they formed. Same with his teaming with Triple H., then feuding with him.

I'd love to see him back, but unfortunately I'm more confident in saying I doubt it'll ever happen.

[zackbluedevil]

i would love to see x pac back in the WWE
i hate it when people talk down about this guy
and i think it be the perfect time for them to bring him back cause the whole legacy thing and how shane turned on stef and HHH came down they could have hhh vs orton at mania then have x pac interfer and have hhh win which will lead to a shane cody Ted DiBiase, Jr and orton vs hhh Stephanie HBk Xpac feud!

[George Michael]

Being a staple in the midcard to put over younger wrestlers would be ideal. If he oculd take the kind of role Jericho had between 2002 and 2005, and stay in the IC/US title scene for a while, that would be useful. Waltman/Punk, Waltman/Kingston, Waltman/Morrison could all be successful midcard feuds where the younger talent could benefit from his wisdom (if he has any that's beneficial). Those three will probably be in the midcard for the next few years (at least), so working hard and putting on entertaining matches with a vet is a great opportunity to showcase and rebrand oneself.
