Because I'm drawing a blank. At that time I watched both and remember him being there but not remembering anything of note he really did besides being a former wwf guy with the other former wwf guys.
Seriously though his part in the 4 horseman parody is mainly what I remember of his time there. What should I be looking up of his from then?

He had a good ladder match with Eddie Guerrero at Souled Out '97 for the Cruiserweight title. That's all I really remember from his time there.

He had some good CW title feuds, but mostly he was the dude to eat the pins that Hogan, Hall and Nash wouldn’t. He was the only nWo guy that WCW seemed to regularly be able to get one over on

He was decent, had feuds with Guerrero and Malenko, and later in 97 after the Wargames 97 match he didn’t do much that I can recall.
I guess he can be a HOFer for the nWo, but they better hand Virgil a ring too so he can get his meatsauce.

I like X-Pac but he has no business being inducted with Hogan, Hall and Nash IMO.
If you’re inducting him with them, you have to induct Dibiase, Giant, Vincent, Scott Steiner and The Disciple. All recognizable nWo faces.

I feel Bischoff was supposed to be there, but, you know.

He ended up in the ring with some big stars and really held his own. They made a mistake in letting him go.

It's a goof HOF, they can put whoever they want in it.

He was a big part of the NWO's early plan to capture all the belts. Hogan had the world title locked up, Hall and Nash kept the tag titles by screwing the Steiners week after week, and Syxx took on the cruiserweights. (They didn't have a US Title level guy until they did their NWO recruiting drive that brought in Bagwell, Norton, Konnan, and others. It wasn't a well thought out plan.) I remember Syxx having good matches with Guerrero, Malenko, Mysterio, and Ultimo Dragon.
I have no problem with Syxx going in as an NWO member. I just think The Giant and Bischoff should be included as well.

It's a goof HOF, they can put whoever they want in it. I kinda feel that way about most of them, anyway. The baseball one is hilariously bad, for instance. "Yeah, Shoeless Joe Jackson was almost certainly falsely implicated, but it'd make us look bad to admit that, so f*** him, I guess." |

Hogan, Hall, and Nash already have single inductions. I wish Waltman could get his time on stage for himself (especially since I don't think they'll give him a third induction, when he so tremendously deserves a solo induction), and I think the nWo's group induction would have more bite as just the original three.
All the more reason I'd rather watch Bloodsport or the Mark Hitchcock Wrestlecon Supershow during that time anyway.

As someone very indifferent and casual to that time of wrestling and the nwo itself;
The only people I think when I think NWO are Hogan Nash and Hall.
The HoF is just an attraction anyway. I wouldnt care who gets on it unless it is someone offensive

I love how clever it all was. 1+2+3=6, he was the sixth member of the NWO and he changed his look to resemble Nikki Sixx. He also debuted on September 16, 1996, for more sixes.
I also like how he lead to DDPs face turn, with Paige being angry about being seventh choice, despite being close with Hall and Nash, going back to their prior WCW run.

Bloodsport is so much fun |

His most memorable moment in WCW was Ric Flair saying, "I've been world champion more times than you've had pieces of ass, pal!"

This takes me back to me deciding to start watching wrestling regularly against in spring 1998 while I was in middle school; the first WCW Nitro I sat all the way through was that year's spring break edition, and the first Raw was X-Pac's debut the night after WM 14, so I was completely confused why he kept mentioning Hogan in his promo.

I had given up watching wrestling around '93-94 and hadn't paid much attention to it. After I got my first job at a convenience store during the first 3-4 months there, two of my older co-workers would talk about the business and they brought me up to speed with the NWO formation. As they kept mentioning all these guys I used to watch showing up, I decided to give things another shot. My first Nitro was Syxx's debut. |

A They did.
Q How much did they pay?
A They promised me $20,000 and paid me five."--Transcript from Joe Jackson's testimony. At the very, absolute, best-case scenario, bare minimum, he was guilty of guilty knowledge just the same as Buck Weaver. But I have little doubt that he was more tied into the scandal than that. Harold Baines and Jack Morris being in the HOF is a way bigger problem than Joe Jackson being out (to say nothing of Pete Rose). Anyway, without Syxx, we would have never gotten Flair's "I've had more World titles than you've had pieces of ass" line. |
