Although X-Pac had his fare share of days on the heel side of the roster, the number 8 entry speaks to Sean Waltman's days as the 123 Kid as a premier performer for WWF's New Generation era.

Waltman debuted on the famous Monday Night RAW episode that saw him (as a relative jobber) defeat Razor Ramon and, soon after, The Kid became on-screen buddies with The Bad Guy.

Even closer in real life, the two were often used on WWE programming together whether it was as moral support against I.R.S. and Ted DiBiase, in tag matches against Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie, or as a corner man for each other against Dean Douglas and others.

That is, until The Kid turned on his Bad Guy buddy and joined Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation.

Throughout his first run with WWE, the 123 Kid was a fan favourite that had all the makings of a classic babyface. He was undersized, could garner sympathy, looked like a teenager, had an impressive-yet-showy moveset, and could sell a beating like no other.

Because of this composition, however, the 123 Kid's short time as a heel in WWE are often overlooked.
