10 Moments You Can’t Believe WWE Left On The Network
6. X Pac Takes It A Little Too Far
Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman gets a lot of undeserved grief.
He has appeared in some of the very best TV matches of all time, and reinvented himself in an industry he was surely too slight to succeed in. Despite this, he later became shorthand for irrelevance. It's a damn shame that he's closer to a meme than a genuinely revolutionary figure. All that said, his performance in his most famous skit was bad then and is beyond the pale now.
When D-Generation X dressed up as the Nation of Domination to mock them, it was nothing new. The nWo had done something similar a few years prior. Still, it was funny enough by the puerile standards of the time. Triple H's send-up of The Rock was just ridiculous enough to raise laughs, and Road Dogg's swivel-headed, sycophantic D-Lo Brown pastiche was great.
Definitely not great was X-Pac's first contribution. He redeemed himself with a quality insider fat joke at Mark Henry's expense, but that first appearance saw him swing his arms around with the gait of a gorilla.
He was also blacked up which really, really didn't help.
