Guest bcu1979 Report post Posted April 3, 2002 There's a new sad/funny interview with X-Pac up at wwf.com. My favorite parts are where he says all the wrestlers who complain about his spot should shut up because they don't know how to draw (unlike him) and where he says the NWO is all about business. His justification of his current main event spot is that he's been in the business for 15 years and he's been a main eventer in the past. Neither argument holds any water. Isn't Triple H the one always saying that people should not get a push just because they have been around a long time? And when has X-Pac EVER been a main eventer? He's never been anything but a sidekick his entire career. I don't think he's ever been in one PPV main event. He also tries to claim that the NWO can outheel anyone and that they aren't cocky because they can back it up. Let's see. Since the NWO has returned, Scott Hall has gotten drunk a lot, pissed off the other wrestlers and done nothing to earn a spot anywhere near the top. Kevin Nash has stood around a lot and flipped his hair and now gets injured after wrestling three matches. And X-Pac doesn't even get go away heat anymore. This interview also creates yet another double standard in the WWF. X-Pac can mouth off anytime he wants and Nash and Triple H will protect him. But can you imagine if Angle or Jericho or Edge had done an interview like this on wwf.com. They'd be jobbing on Jakked in no time flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted April 3, 2002 Xpac said on guys saying he does not deserve his spot: "It's a bunch of (B.S.)," he said. "It's a bunch of guys insecure guys saying a bunch of stuff and they don't know what they're talking about. We're just doing our thing. We always do what's right for business. People can say anything they want, but the past is the past, and what's going on now is what's going on now. And we're all business. You've seen the matches; you've seen the stuff with The Rock and Hogan. "I've read where some people say I jumped over the entire talent roster into a top spot. That's a crock too. I've been in this business 15 years. I've been a main-event guy and I was kind of damaged goods for a while, but I took six months off and I'm back, and that's all there is to it. I'm putting my money where my month is. A lot of guys think they know what they're doing, and the fact of the matter is, they don't really. They don't know how to draw money. And until they get there, they need to shut up." When the fuck did Xpac draw a dime when he was on his own? Not when he was riding on the DX train. The best heels in the business? Sure, maybe five years ago. But Nash's hair flippin ass is a lousy heel now. And Hall is shit without him. Hogan is having his last run. So what in the hell is Xpac smoking?

Guest muzanisa Report post Posted April 3, 2002 Hasn't he done this before? I remember there was an interview where he buried the cruisers, which apparently fucked off half the roster. Why do they interview him time and time again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 3, 2002 He is an egotistical jackass. When he the last time he got any heat at all? He doesn't even get Xpac sucks chants anymore. The crowd just stays totally silent when he comes out and during his matches. I don't remember him ever being a main event wrestler either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted April 3, 2002 " He doesn't even get Xpac sucks chants anymore. The crowd just stays totally silent when he comes out and during his matches." I've noticed that. Although they were present last week, it was a much weaker chant than normal. Xpac probably considers his DX days as a main eventer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bcu1979 Report post Posted April 3, 2002 One more part I forgot to mention above is when they ask him about locker room chemistry. He argues that everything is fine because no one has said anything to him. Isn't that hysterical? Austin went home for two weeks. Jericho went from being on the verge of becoming a credible WWF champion to Stephanie's errand boy. Rock is now Hogan's little friend. And almost the entire roster's getting their downside guarantee cut down to $125,000, according to the latest Observer. Meanwhile, Triple H is the only top wrestler who does not have his airtime cut in half. Nash and Hall get to be the top heels on RAW, while they keep their fat contracts and push for their friends to get top spots. And Stephanie remains head writer of both shows. But everything is fine because no one is talking to The Kliq's career lackey about any possible problems they might have. It's a good thing X-Pac is around to clear everything up.

Guest buffybeast Report post Posted April 4, 2002 If the Kliq is doing so good, then why is Scott Hall wrestling Crash Holly on Heat this week????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest What?! Report post Posted April 4, 2002 X-Pac gets interviewed all the time probably because he's the only one who's going to say stuff like that. Alas, Edge is on Smackdown and therefore can't get another "It's not 1998" promo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted April 4, 2002 does anyone else think that Vince had a hidden agenda of burying Nash and Hall, I mean think how much both of them ave advanced, marks are even starting to not be interested in the nWo anymore, and they take the biggest name that came from the nWo and they put him back in red and yellow, thus completely seperating him from any nWo ties and putting him on a final run apart from the nWo. While Nash, Hall, and X-Pac are all left do die in the WWF heatless I know its unlikely but its always a possibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 I went to SmackDown! in March of 2000 and Rock was supposed to fight Kane, but X-Pac locked Kane in a truck. The main event of the show became Rock-X-Pac. Maybe that's what he was talkng about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 X-pac has been involved in main events, yea. But a main eventer? Heh... that's a good one. And the NWO can outheel anyone? If Jericho's character hadn't been butchered by Stephy-poo, he could've taken them to school by himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted April 4, 2002 This goes back to what I said in January about NOT LETTING THE NWO INTO THE WWF no matter how desperate Vince may have seemed for ratings. Putting a piece of shit like X-Pac in the Main Event scene because he whined to Vince is not a solution to the ratings slip over the past 9 months. Taking Angle, Austin, Jericho, and to a lesser extent RVD out of the ME spot is not a good thing, it's a bad thing. What makes me more aggrivated is that there are people on this board who feel that the nWo is a good thing, and when guys like Bret, Austin, or Foley complain.....it's a bad thing. The nWo should be fired, and Triple H should get some punishment, but I'm hoping for too much. Where does X-Pac get that he's better than Angle, Jericho, RVD, Booker T, or even Edge for that matter?? Fuck the clique.....fuck them..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted April 4, 2002 X Pac ME'ed a WCW PPV in a 6 man tag with the Outsiders, he has never ME'ed a WWF PPV. He is not a ME'er. He is a semi-talented worker with poor mic skills and negative charisma (X Pac heat). He needs to get his head out of Nash's ass long enough to listen to the reaction from the crowd and realize he is not a ME'er. Being in the business 15 years doesn't annoint you a ME'er, ask Brooklyn Brawler, AA, and many others. X Pac has a place in the Fed which is fetching beer for the Outsiders and now that Nash injured his arm he'll probably have to pour the beer into Nash's mouth for him.

Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 Don't forget his shot when he was 1-2-3 Kid on Superstars against Bret Hart for the WWF title in 1994. I think that match was on Raw, because it is on my Raw- Greatest Hits tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 4, 2002 the only PPV that X-Pac main evented that I can remember was the British Capital Carnage PPV in 1998. This match should have an astrax next to it since it was done in a forgein land XPac has no right being in the Main Event, his match against Kane had a dead crowd reaction, nothing beyond a Austin feud can get XPac over. XPac is European or tag title talent no more no less does the "no one can draw" quote have anything to do with HWA Lash Laroiux? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Maurizio C... Version 2 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 I don't think Waltman really caresif fans hate or love him. I think that at this stage of his career, arter virtually being 123 kid his whole life with just different costumes, he's content getting air-time and big mony contracts just to jump a little here and there. It's not even a fact of saying "Sean, you suck!", he did a little anlge about the fact that he sucks, he knows it. I guess he just says to himself "Hey, better get my money, act cool and stick it to fans that don't wanna see my ass". You see, while HBK, HHH, Nash and Hall have had their problems I think Waltman is the only Kilq memeber that'd need to get punished, if not for the fact that he's sucking from other's fame since '93, when Hall put him over. Is Waltman a bad wrestler? No, not at all. He can move and that's a step more than Hogan and Nash. He's not too fond on psychology but who is today? waltman just accepts the fact that he lives in a world where fans will boo his ass when he enters a ring and then cheer him when he executes the bronco buster.

The only time i EVER recall X-Pac main-eventing, or being in a top spot of sorts, was on an UK-Only PPV where he faced the then WWF Champion, The Rock....X-Pac lost the match. But hey, i can't see why everyone HATES the guy, he has talent, i loved him in his 1-2-3 Kid days, as well as his Syxx gimmick, so why all the negative remarks? Sure, he may contridict his 'best buddies' comments, and he may be slightly delusional as to how much he is actually worth, but that does not take away the fact that he is a GOOD WORKER and is ENTERTAINING, which, last time i checked, is why we watch wrestling...to be entertained.

Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted April 4, 2002 Well, he's not really that good a worker nowadays, too slow and lazy. It pisses me off the way that he put himself in the Lightheavyweight division, and put himself over Jeff Hardy, Tajiri , Kidman, and then says he dosn't want the belt. Egotistical bastard.

Guest buffybeast Report post Posted April 4, 2002 I think Xpac is a good wrestlers. And his gimmick used to be very entertaining to me. Now Xpac just bores me. He wrestles the same style, and he essentially has the same gimmick. He needs to evolve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 X-Punk has never ever been a main eventer and can't draw flies even if he was made out of s#it. Having a world title match or two in Raw, Smackdown or an overseas PPV doesn't count as being a main eventer.Jericho,ROCK, HGH, Austin, those are main eventers, X-Punk is just a follower , HGH's lil buddy,the Outsider's lil court jester when he pukes on himself b/c he can't handle his liquor, that's it.Take this 90 lbs crackhead off my tv!!!!!

Guest tazmission86 Report post Posted April 4, 2002 To paraphrase one of X-Pac's buddies... "X-Pac thinks he can walk on water, and he's right, because everyone knows, turds float." -Kevin Nash I'm torn on the whole Kliq situation. Scott Hall and Triple H are my two favorite wrestlers, and I am currently entertained by HHH's face Title run and Hall's role, but if they endorse the actions of X-Pac being pushed to the top and The Rock playing second fiddle to Hogan, they may slip down the totem pole of my favor. I'm confident, however, that X-Pac will get hurt again and eventually, things will level out. Hogan can't last too much longer, and The Outsiders are losing all momentum they may have had. I say fire Hogan, X-Pac, and Nash. Keep Triple H and Hall, and get Steph a real job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how the billing for the event was (I, of course, don't live in the UK), but at the event, it was played up as if he was just a replacement. Of course, Jackie losing her top at the event overshadowed most everything on that tepid show. <<<But hey, i can't see why everyone HATES the guy, he has talent, i loved him in his 1-2-3 Kid days, as well as his Syxx gimmick, so why all the negative remarks?>>> I honestly didn't like him as Syxx at all. I thought he was a terrible CW Champ. The last time I've really enjoyed his work was during his feud with D-Lo. <<<Sure, he may contridict his 'best buddies' comments, and he may be slightly delusional as to how much he is actually worth, but that does not take away the fact that he is a GOOD WORKER and is ENTERTAINING, which, last time i checked, is why we watch wrestling...to be entertained.>>> But IS he entertaining?

Guest Report post Posted April 15, 2002 It was a no-brainer to put X-pac back in the nWo, and what could they do with him then? Have him in Dark Matches? I don't blame the bookers for trying to get all they can from his return. It makes it fresh. Unfortunately, with x-pac that freshness lasted about 2 minutes. I think they did fine with giving him some air time. Soon enough he'll be wrestling the mid-card, or he'll go back to being the nWo's valet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
