Though not as short as most fans would probably think, Sean Waltman had a lanky build during his prime - especially during the earlier years of his career. As "The Kid," the spindly Waltman was cast as an enhancement talent, and his physique was part of why it was so shocking when he scored his career-making win over Razor Ramon.

As Waltman moved on in his wrestling journey, becoming Syxx and X-Pac during the Attitude Era, he put on muscle and got leaner, but he was still fairly small - especially given the time period. While his skinnier build wouldn't be out of place today, it was the exception to the rule in the late '90s.

Though Waltman has mostly been out of the public eye for the past decade, he hasn't stopped working out. Just a couple of days ago, he Tweeted a photo of his upper body, declaring that he was "physically & mentally" in the best shape of his life. He credited the improvements to DDP Yoga, Bulletproof Nutrition, and a Body By Jake workout system.
