"It's a no-brainer" - Jeff Jarrett urges WWE to award 52-year-old star with solo Hall of Fame induction

AEW and WWE veteran Jeff Jarrett believes that the Stamford-based company should induct a 52-year-old legend into the Hall of Fame as a solo performer. The latter is none other than X-Pac, widely regarded as a pioneering in-ring competitor.

Sean Waltman's pro wrestling career initially took off in WWE, where he wrestled as the 1–2–3 Kid before eventually moving to WCW and joining the nWo as Syxx. He returned to the sports entertainment juggernaut later in 1998 and joined the ranks of D-Generation X. For his work and contributions to WWE's programming, the promotion inducted X-Pac into its Hall of Fame twice — once as a member of D-Generation X and again as a member of the nWo.

According to AEW star Jeff Jarrett, however, Waltman deserves a solo induction into the Hall of Fame. Speaking on his My World podcast recently, The Last Outlaw talked about X-Pac's unique and fast-paced wrestling style and how it enabled him to stand out as a performer.

"I'm going to be way, way biased... It's a no-brainer. You look at the Lightning Kid at a young age, his matches with Jerry Lynn. You can call it the X Division, before X-Division, or Junior Heavyweight, or Flyweight, or however you want to say that. But in his earliest of days, coming on the scene, he was turning heads and making headlines as, truly, a kid. Then, when you look at his entry point into the WWF as the 1-2-3 Kid, and the huge upset he had over Razor Ramon.. When you kind of think of a trailblazer, somebody who broke the mold, positioned it in a unique way, that 1-2-3 Kid upset can happen anywhere."

Jarrett continued:

"He battled some demons, like all of us do in life, but he kept rolling. You look at when he showed up on Nitro, that piece of the puzzle in the nWo, named him Syxx... Then, him going back [to WWE], there is a lot of moments that Kid was a part of. So if you know your history, it is absolutely no disrespect to anybody that's currently in the Hall of Fame, but, my gosh, without question." [H/T - Fightful]

Even outside of World Wrestling Entertainment, Waltman has plied his trade across several promotions, including AAA, GCW, JCW, and TNA.

WWE legend Jeff Jarrett's last AEW match

At the start of 2025, Jeff Jarrett revealed that he had signed his final talent contract with All Elite Wrestling, stating his goal of pursuing the AEW World Championship. This put him at odds with MJF, and eventually with Jon Moxley and his group, the Death Riders.

In his last match for the Tony Khan-led company so far, Double J fought Claudio Castagnoli for the right to challenge Moxley for his World Title, but unfortunately lost the match due to The One True King's interference.

It remains to be seen when the WWE Hall of Famer will compete inside an AEW ring next.
