What’s the story?
Sean “X-Pac” Waltman recently had an interview with TMZ about his legal troubles. As reported by TMZ itself, Authorities arrested Waltman for allegedly attempting to smuggle meth at the LAX airport.
He stated that he takes Candida capsules from Vitamin World are for a yeast infection, but apparently, the “meth fairy” showed up and turned them into crystal meth.
In case you didn’t know...
Waltman would make his professional wrestling debut in 1989. Known as the 1-2-3 Kid at the time, he would make his first big mark in the very first year of Monday Night Raw (1993) with the upset win over one of his best friends, Razor Ramon.
The heart of the matter...
TMZ asked Waltman if there was any meth in those pills, and he replied, “only if they put it in there.” He would also talk about his checkered past; which did include using meth with the following comment:
"I was one of the worst meth heads ever Mike, so here's the thing. If I was back doing that, there's no way I would have the life I have right now. My life is amazing! This is just a hiccup in the road because I'm still clean.”
While Waltman says the situation sucks for him now, he is very confident that the truth will come out in the end.

What’s next?
The pills in question will undergo lab testing to determine if they contained crystal meth or not. Once the authorities receive the test results, they will take the appropriate action to charge Waltman or not.
Author’s take
I will have to resort to the “innocent until proven guilty” phrase in regards to this situation. X-Pac has taken great strides in his life to stay clean over the past few years, and Kevin Nash himself has said that his buddy is okay. His tweet is below:
I don’t think Nash would lie to us in this situation and hopefully, the truth is known sooner than later.
