10 Things You Need To Know About X-Pac

6. His 1998 WWE Return Featured A Great Shoot Promo

The night after WrestleMania 14 on Raw on March 30, 1998, Triple H and Chyna were in the ring talking about DX. Shawn Michaels was gone with a back injury, so Triple H was left in charge. Hunter brought out a friend of his from The Kliq. Out walked the former 1-2-3 Kid, who was in WCW for a few years and made his official return to WWE. When X-Pac got in the ring, he fired off the most memorable promo of his career: "I heard Hulk Hogan come out on television saying I couldn't cut the mustard. Well Hulk Hogan, you suck pal, so I don't think you have any room telling anybody to cut any mustard. And Hulk I have some more advice for ya, you better not stop short or else Eric Bischoff will go so far up your ass he'll know what you had for breakfast." X-Pac later said that "Kevin Nash and Scott would be standing right here with us if they weren't being held hostage by Eric Bischoff, so put that in your pipe and smoke it." The crowd loved it. http://youtu.be/XepdzlxpqcY This was in the middle of the Monday Night War with WCW, so it was a big deal to mention some big names in WCW on Raw. It was an awesome shoot promo. WWE likely let him say what he wanted as long as he covered some of the storyline stuff that needed to said, which he did. It was the Attitude Era and a time when WWE wasn't afraid to let people vent on air. This was the best promo of his career.
