gold star for USAHOF
X-Pac
We are ranking Sean Waltman sooner than we would have originally liked, however the strong rumours that D-Generation X would be inducted as a group.  As such, the only man to be a member of DX and the New World Order (we are not counting Shawn Michaels’s brief stint in the WWE version of the NWO) has entered the rankings.

From the moment he entered the National spotlight in a shocking upset of Razor Ramon on Monday Night RAW, Sean Waltman was a fixture for a decade at middle or near the top of a card.  His high flying ability was paired with an underrated ring skill, and in later years he developed an attitude that made him a perfect member of the greatest factions in wrestling history.  Waltman (or X-Pac as we know him best as) had a career that a case can be made to put him in as a solo, but as it stands the odds are that he will go in with DX or the Clique.

Should X-Pac be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 70.2%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 11.5%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 9.6%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 8.7%
