8 Amazing Wrestlers That Flopped In WWE's Attitude Era

One of the more controversial picks here, but X-Pac had a longer period of bad booking and negative crowd reactions than he did thrilling audiences when he returned to WWE. As Syxx, he was one of the first people to join the nWo over in WCW beyond the original trio of members, and his defection back to the WWF in March 1998 to join D-Generation X was a big deal as the tide of the 'Monday Night Wars' was turning back in favour of the McMahon family. 

His initial run in DX was enjoyable, but then he began a feud with Kane that killed the momentum of both and seemed to go on for an eternity. Kane began losing to a guy who was half his size, and was no longer seen as a killer as a result. Meanwhile, X-Pac began to generate "X-Pac heat", a term that has followed him around ever since and is based on him being booed wherever he went in the early 2000s.

Things got worse from there. He formed his X-Factor stable with Justin Credible and Albert. The group always just felt like a bunch of dudes thrown together because creative had nothing of note for them, and their entrance theme was a crime towards anyone with ears.

Credible left the group to join the Alliance as the 'Invasion' angle began, leaving X-Pac and Albert to fester in the lower card of the 'Attitude' pack. X-Pac is still a vital part of DX due to his iconic look and work in the stable, but much of his run straight after that was less than stellar.
