Since he upset Razor Ramon in the early 90s Sean Waltman has been a prominent mid-carder in the WWF and WCW. He was a solid performer in the ring and was linked to Razor Ramon, n.W.o., and D-Generation X. But during his run with DX in the late 90s he started a downward spiral towards crapdom. His biggest problem is that he took a cue from his buddy Kevin Nash and became really lazy in the ring. His matches became just one match that he'd do on different nights against different opponents. And it didn't help that he had two really lame moves in his arsenal. The first is one I still question why anyone would ever use it in a wrestling match; that's right the bronco buster. As pictured above, young Sean would knock his opponent down into the turnbuckles and then precede to bounce on them while forcing his crotch into their face. Now how shoving one's twig and berries into another's face is suppose to hurt them is anyone's guess. The only hurt I can think of is the deep emotional scars that Sean has probably left on a few superstars. The next move his finisher of choice: the X-Factor. The X-Factor is basically a jumping facebuster except somehow the act of Sean jumping up into the air forces his opponent (unless they have dignity and just fall) to also jump up into the air. I'm not naïve enough to not realize that during certain moves the other wrestler helps the move performer out by jumping into it or with it. But, the X-Factor breaks the laws of physics so much that Tekno Team 2K secretly died repairing the damage that it did to the space/time continuum. I have a theory though that might explain the sudden ability to make people jump by grabbing their head that Sean has. He wants the move to seem more powerful then it really is. Think about it; during his feud with Kane, all X-Pac did was get his ass handed to him the entire match yet win after one X-Factor. But that's not all ladies and gentlemen (you there at the computer dummy and shouldn't you be doing homework or at least be viewing porn right now), you see the crowd absolutely hated Pac. I don't mean heel Rock or HHH (pre-quad tear) kind of hate, I mean "you suck get out of the ring" kind of hate. It became pretty much a regular part of his matches to hear a "X-Pac Sucks" chant or even better "Die X-Pac Die". I don't recall if the last one ever left a sign and became the cry of the people but if it didn't it should have. Poor Sean, not only did the fans hate his guts but he's also under the delusion that he was one of the company's top/best heels and was a main eventer.
