Where Are They Now? Wrestlers Who Fell From Grace


Aka: X-Pac, Syxx, 1-2-3 Kid

Professional Wrestling Career:

At the young age of 21, Sean Waltman joined the WWF, and was considered a "jobber," meaning he lost to popular opponents on a regular basis. His jobber status ended when he defeated Razor Ramon. After the victory, he rose up the ranks in the WWF, defeating more popular opponents, and winning the tag-team title. He even had a title shot in 1994 against Bret Hart, but lost.

Waltman joined WCW in 1996, and managed to become a member of nWo, as Syxx. He managed to win the cruiserweight title in 1997 but a neck injury forced him out of WCW that year.

He re-joined the WWF in 1998, this time as X-Pac, a name with many meanings. He was X-wolf-pack (an alliance in WCW), he enjoyed the rap music if Tupac Shakur, and would be joining Triple H's Degeneration X. After a few years with DX, X-Pac experienced a pretty bad neck injury. He would not return for a few years, at which point, he had no wrestling angle from which to promote himself. After being arrogant about losing matches and a bizarre incident in which he collapsed at the airport, he was released by the WWE, joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and X Wrestling.

Where Is He Now?

As we mentioned before, Waltman made a horrifying sex tape with Chyna.

In early 2008, Waltman attempted suicide. After taking a combination of prescription drugs and alcohol, he was found hanging by the neck in his home in Mexico City. He survived the incident, and has been taking steps to combat depression and drug addiction.
