#2 X-Pac
X-Pac has always been one of the most over guys in wrestling due to his infectious personality, his incredibly successful run with DX, and his cruiserweight style of wrestling.
Nowadays, Sean Waltman (X-Pac’s real name) hosts a podcast and remains a well-respected figure in the world of wrestling. Things could’ve been very different, though.
Waltman lived a life fuelled by drugs and alcohol and even reached the point of suicide during his time with AAA wrestling and we were this close to losing one of the world’s great talents too early.
Despite the best efforts of his long-time friend, Triple H, to persuade Waltman to join rehab, it was the efforts of Kevin Nash which finally made the difference. Big Sexy apparently even flew down to Mexico to get a hold of Waltman and brought him to a rehab ability on the other side of the border in Texas.
X-Pac exited the facility with a new lease on life and he has made the most out of it since.
