10 WWE Legends That Require A Career Reevaluation
5. X-Pac
There was no point during his two spells with WWE that Sean 'X-Pac/1-2-3 Kid Waltman' wasn't an absolutely phenomenal wrestler, but badly outstaying his welcome (alongside much if the remaining features of the Attitude Era) post-2001 forever cast him as a dated and boring buffoon.
After wowing fans and friends backstage with his majestic skill in 1993, he was the locker room litmus test less than a year later. Newbies were given Waltman to work with to prove their worth, just as they were when he returned from WCW in 1998 decked in the green and black of D-Generation-X.
A fiercely reliable flyer on offence, he was an outstanding defensive performer too, scraping sympathy from the shoes of the sh*ttiest wrestlers to the point where his relatively short 1999 unit with Kane lingered long after they parted ways for the good of Triple H's heel turn later that year.
Watched out of the Invasion era vacuum, his Light Heavyweight Championship contests are a joy beyond the bored boos the battles receive. His act was a tragically busted flush by then, but his work between the ropes hadn't remotely lost its lustre.
