He never really did suck, but for some reason they never tried to progress his character any until people no longer cared anyway. He could have come up with the angle of the century at that time and everyone would have still hated it because he had been allowed to get stale before that.

He was young, he came up young and got pushed abit young. I think if he came in at like 25 years old it would have been different. I remember watching him as the Lightlin Kid or something. People just got sick of him

He never changed from the Syxx character in WCW. If you don't change or evolve people will get bored of you. Especially if its an obnoxious gimmick like he had.

He was awesome as 1-2-3 Kid. He was even better as the Lightning Kid. Sure, he was green as hell, but because of his long partnership with Jerry Lynn they worked really well together in their GWF feud. That, plus his character was hilariously great. He weighed a buck 80 at best, but walked around like he weighted 325. He'd kick the crap out of a guy, knocking him out, but instead of going for the pin he humiliate them by using a deliberately lame powerbomb to finish them off (it even had a lame name like The PowderpuffBomb or something like that). |

He never really did suck. He just got caught up in a bunch of BS.

X-Pac was very good and pretty popular for a long time. It's too bad he's remembered negatively - the guy could have a good, interesting match with anyone.

It's good Cena finally has some time off, as it seems a lot of people have come to respect him now that he's off tv. Anyways, i remember another explanation was that both in WCW and DX, X-pac's matches would always end in with some run in, and it happened every time to the point where no one cared about his matches because they knew it was going to end in a run in and a disqualification. Plus for some I found him too annoying as a heel where I don't even want to watch him. It didn't help that he used the gayest move in wrestling (well befor ethe skull f----er) in the bronco buster, and the lamest move ever the face plant (was it called the x-factor?). |

I loved X-Pac back in the day. Sean Waltman has always been a great wrestler.

and the lamest move ever the face plant (was it called the x-factor?). The X-Factor isn't that bad IMO. It's not that much different from the Pedigree, and it had 'flash finisher' quality. I always thought of it in the same way as the Back Cracker- it's enough to stun you for for a 3 count, but not legit knock you out. Could of done alot more with the move as a flash finish move. Know he reversed a couple powerbomb attempts on him with it. |

X-pac never sucked, ever, even when they saddled him in x-factor he was an A+ talent.

He could always work. His stuff in Japan was outstanding. He was also pretty revolutionary in the sense that he was the first really small guy the WWE hired in the Hoss era. Also, I have always felt that his return to Raw after his WCW run was really the first move that started to turn it around for the WWF and get them back on top. Unfortunately for him, his character is only really tolerable in small doses, and he really seems like a douche in his personal life, so these things have cause his talent to be forgotten.

Yeah but then he did that movie and then cried on that sureal life show and it meant the end for him.

Back in 1998 X-Pac was pretty good. He was over with the fans. But like everybody else has said is character became stale. He's been Syxx since 1996. I mean geez dude either cut the beard off or return with short hair, something differnt anyway.
