10 WWE Angles Wrestlers Wish They’d Turned Down

7. X-Pac Is “Mizark Henry”

Boot up the 6 July 1998 edition of Raw on Peacock and you won't see one of the 'Attitude' Era's most provocative segments. D-Generation X's parody of The Nation has been deleted from servers due to its racial insensitivity. X-Pac and several other DX members were in blackface.

That's something Sean Waltman feels bad about now.

It sounds like such a cop out to say something like this, but people often offer the old "world was a different place back then" justification as an excuse. The truth is, there was no excuse - not then and not now. Waltman knows that, and he'd dearly love to hit up a nearby time machine, zoom back to '98 and say, 'Nah, I ain't doing that'.

That's obviously not possible. X-Pac's regrettable "Mizark Henry" lampoon is still available in some form or fashion on YouTube (who knows for how long), but it's the kind of skit WWE, Waltman and others would rather eradicate from the history books for good.
