Outlook - Sean Waltman could have gone down in pro-wrestling history as a groundbreaking talent who defied the high size standards with his ability alone. He is, however, best remembered for his association with the “Kliq” (as both an nWo and DX member), his substance abuse problems and his troubled relationship with Joanie Lauer (Chyna). Waltman has been a quality talent for years and largely because he can effectively change his style. From a highflying to martial arts and rulebreaking, Sean Waltman has always been solid in the ring. Some feel he has never lived up to the potential he once had and his neck problems are likely the culprit. After a dry spell following his release from the WWE, Waltman became the main veteran in the short-lived WSX and began regularly appearing AAA. Although his body is practically shot, he still has the charisma and know-how to make an impact anywhere he goes.
