Regardless of your opinions on Sean Waltman the person, it'd be hard to argue that X-Pac, at one time did NOT suck, and was indeed rather popular as both the 1-2-3 Kid and then later during the original run of DX.
So what the hell happened?
We all know what did happen, X-Pac stubbornly stayed with the DX trimmings, stupid beard, stupid music, and generally utterly failed to evolve as a character arguably all the way through the rest of his WWE run and even more arguably into his brief TNA stays, while on the way inspiring an enduring chant that I'm still surprised hasn't made any ironic returns lately.
Let's assume everything up until X-Pac in DX occurs as in the real world. You can pick your point of divergence from there.
Does he return to the 1-2-3 Kid gimmick post-DX? Get some black trunks and go super-SRS? Take up Buddhism and move to Tibet?

Don't turn him heel in 1999 against Kane over Tori. Everything was on track until that happened. Xpac was always great in the ring. It's almost like they went out of their way to f*** things up.

Get rid of that annoying X PAC theme music, don't turn him heel against Kane. Also no X Factor stable

Sit him down and explain to him that he does not embody a gangsta image in any way, shape or form and that he is going to be repackaged so he can stop making an idiot of himself. Assure him that he is a great athlete and very good wrestler, but nobody is taking his gimmick seriously at all.

Let him evolve from what he was into a hippie-like wrestler before the Kane Tori thing happened. Once he gets in the ring let him do his regular wrestling style but considering the guy smokes pot, drinks, whatever just let that evolve into a hippy and he'd actually have a character. He'd talk less too and I'm sure everyone would agree with that.

Once DX disbands in 2000, he stops wearing the black and green colors and coming out to the music that had been derived from the DX theme. Everything else stays as is, (yes, even the X-Factor stable).

he hits his head, and things he's tupac. wwf can call him 2-pac. he then goes on to feud with (notorious)BIG show for obviously stupid reasons.
he releases an album. he starts delusional west-side/east-side wars with other wrestlers as he see's fit. by himself.

he turns heel. a plant in the crowd throws an egg at him. faces start calling him egg-pac.
the crowd is encouraged to throw eggs at him.
crowd start to enjoy his act due to interactiveness of eggs.
he turns face. embraces his new found popularity with eggs.
all his promos involve bad egg puns.
his signature moves are given bad egg pun names.
this gimmick writes itself!

The fans were behind X-Pac, also. Feud with Triple H was a natural. One match later, it all goes out the window. WHY? |
