Sean Waltman (born July 13, 1972 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a professional wrestler.

Career

Prior to his arrival in the World Wrestling Federation, Waltman was best known as the Lightning Kid in the GWF where he feuded with Jerry Lynn. Upon his arrival in the WWF he was given a number of names such as The Kamikaze Kid until he managed an "upset" win over Razor Ramon. At this point, he was given the name 1-2-3 Kid. The Kid was a natural underdog, and displayed little of the rebellious attitude which would define his later stints in the WWF.

World Championship Wrestling

He continued using this name until his departure for World Championship Wrestling in 1996 to join the heel stable known as the nWo. To play upon his previous gimmick of the 1-2-3 Kid, he was given the name Syxx, supposedly as he was the sixth member of the nWo. While he was out injured, he was fired by then WCW President Eric Bischoff to control Waltman's friends Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and to prove to them that he was in charge.

World Wrestling Federation

Waltman returned to the WWF, where he became known as X-Pac. He was immediately inducted into the D-Generation X heel group and cut a promo against Bischoff and Hulk Hogan as well as claiming that if contractually free to do so, Hall and Nash would have been joining him in returning to the WWF. Up to this point in the Monday Night Wars, wrestlers only jumped from the WWF to the big money, guaranteed deals available in WCW. Waltman's return proved that it was a two-way street.

As a member of D-X, Waltman formed a tag team with Kane; a mute, brooding, menacing loner. Waltman led Kane to believe that he would be inducted into D-X, but instead betrayed him and eventually stole his girfriend, Tori.

The dissolution of D-X in late 2000 left Waltman without a storyline. His most notable actions in the next two years were forming the short-lived stable X-Factor along with Justin Credible and Albert and winning the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, which was then retired.

When Hall, Nash and Hogan returned to the WWF in 2002 and Hogan's nostalgic popularity required that he be turfed from the latest incarnation of the nWo, Waltman, who had been out with an injury, returned and immediately attacked Hogan, claiming he'd been waiting three years to do so. This storyline was immediately dropped.

About the time Eric Bischoff was brought in as General Manager of RAW, Waltman ended up leaving the WWF in a mutual decision. This negated any chance of his following up on the other half of the promo from three years before.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

Waltman joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling upon leaving the WWF and began using the name Syxx-Pac, another play on previous stage names. Waltman left TNA in November 2002 after Vince Russo (who Waltman disliked) joined the promotion.

Russo left TNA in November 2004, and Waltman returned to TNA on February 13, 2005 at Against All Odds, attacking Jeff Jarrett during his NWA World Heavyweight Championship match with Waltman's friend Kevin Nash. Nash, Waltman and Diamond Dallas Page formed an alliance against Planet Jarrett (Jarrett, The Outlaw and Monty Brown) which disbanded when Nash and Page left TNA to focus on their respective acting careers.

On June 19 at Slammiversary, Waltman took part in a six man King of the Mountain match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, which was won by the returning Raven. In the course of the match, Waltman confronted the incumbent and defending champion, A.J. Styles. This eventually led to a match between Styles and Waltman at No Surrender on July 17, which Styles won after guest referee Jerry Lynn prevented Waltman from cheating. Waltman confronted Lynn the following week on iMPACT!, and later challenged his former partner to a match at Sacrifice on August 14. After Lynn won the match with a victory roll, Waltman attacked him and endeavoured to reinjure his shoulder. After Sacrifice, Waltman was partnered with Alex Shelley and together they won the 2005 Chris Candido Cup. As a result of their tournament victory, Waltman and Shelley received a shot at the NWA World Tag Team Championships on September 11 at TNA Unbreakable. At Unbreakable, Waltman was announced as having no-showed the event. He was subsequently not heard from until September 19, when he was reported to have contacted a family member in Florida.

Reputation

Waltman is known for the phenomenon called "X-Pac heat," in which a wrestler draws boos and catcalls from the audience, not for his expertise in playing a heel and raising the ire of the audience, but rather because the crowd legitimately dislikes the wrestler in question as a talent. Waltman attained his namesake heat through pedestrian matches in which he would always win, even when thought to be undeserving.

Waltman was a member of The Clique, and remains friends with most of the other Clique members. However, his relationship with Chyna led to tension between Waltman and Triple H, who had dated Chyna several years before.

Personal life

Waltman was engaged to Joanie Laurer, who formerly played the role of Chyna in WWE, but the relationship ended after she accused Waltman of domestic violence. But before the couple split they were able to film a sex tape which was later released under the name One Night in China in late 2004 with the same company (Red Light District Video) that released the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape eariler in 2004. Since WWE still owned the rights of the name Chyna, the video had to include live shots of Waltman in China walking over the Great Wall to spare Red Light District Video any legal issues.

In March 2005, Waltman appeared on the VH1 reality TV show The Surreal Life when he visited Laurer in an attempt to reconcile with her. He was eventually forcibly ejected from the house by the other guests.
