You need to change the title of your video nc, he never mentioned money! You are false advertising huge! Your video was a Waste of time!!
He looks healthier than he did 20 years ago
Off the Drugs..
Waaaaay healthier!
Still hasa gruff voice from being on them
Skipped leg day though
@@jacobpeluso2586 lol. He does look like he has polio.
I’m so happy he’s in a great place mentally, physically and maybe spiritually. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He, like all the cliq guys has such a great mind for the business.
Doesnt get the credit he deserves ? He get TOO MUCH credit. FFS ! he's a fucking bum who rode the coat-tails of Nash and Hall. "doesn't get the credit he deserves" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
@@StarCityAudits wow look an uneducated troll that knows nothing about the pro wrestling business. Please bother someone else
@@Kcutthth well is kinda true... if he didnt join DX or NWO he wanst going to be relevant. He lived and get known by being friends with triple h, shawn, nash and hall.
@@StarCityAudits Sure..
Apparently every wrestler that wasn’t a major star didn’t get the credit they deserved
Braun Strowman dropped a ton of weight.
No he didn't, he trimmed his beard and multiple people made photoshoped thumbnails of an emaciated braun strowman. He looks the exact same but with a smaller beard.
Well, he is the whole f’n show, after all.
@@byah160 that's rvd not crap pac
Lol. His voice is deeper than Strowman's. It's crazy.
@@JayMartian Woosh
He looks so good here, so happy and humbled…… recovery looks good on him ❤️
U think he is sober here.? Lol
I'm so glad he's clean now. Look at him now he looks better then he did in his 20s he really is the 1 2 3 kid
He sounds like awful and looks worse. Wtf are you on
@@iangoodisDMX god bless you
@@joshpatten7765 lmao
@@iangoodisDMX He looks fine, honestly he seemed nervous.
@@danielstack4158 or coked out
I've always been a big fan of this guy from 1-2-3 Kid.
He could work a great match with everybody because he understands chemistry.
A great in ring storyteller.
Still remember his match vs Bret Hart
Same, bro. Waltman- personal issues or not- could always work his ass off.
Very underrated.
He Couldn't even Beat Doink the Clown Jesse 🤡 DO your Homework!
1-2-3 kid, maaaan that's memories
Man he looks healthy, he’s aging gracefully. Not a lot of wrestlers can say that. Glad to see him doing ok
That’s because of the damage was done to his anus.
This guy was my favourite as a kid. He looks great.
Fax especially when you find out he was a drug addict and he recovered happy for him forsure 💯
Waltman is a legend that flies under the radar nowadays, he might not have the name recognition of guys like Hogan or Cena but is definitely one of the best small guys and has had his ups and downs but still great to see him around and in the business in some capacity or another. Probably not too many of today's wwe fans necessarily even know who he is but to someone my age who lived through the Monday night wars with WcW & wwf & then through the attitude era x-pac was front & centre day in day out. Deservedly recognised for his hard work as a legend.... As Dx would say Suck it!
It's probably not really any of our business what any of these guys make, but that being said, don't run a title acting like you are going to tell us.
I was thinking the same thing LOL
Yeah he’s a click baiter. He used Sean to use us.
Yeah that’s terrible
This channel is nothing but clickbait.
Sean Waltman looks like he’s in fantastic shape! Great attitude too.
Gotta respect Sean. Wore jeans and a blazer to have an interview in some guys apartment while the interviewer wore a t shirt
Just so you know the stock opened on October 22, 1999 at $24. By february 11th, 2000 it was down to $10.31. It never hit that $24 until February 21st, 2014 at 24.67. So yeah, he would've had to wait quite awhile to see a return. It did get up to $30.83 on March 21st, 2014 and then went back down. He would've had to wait until January 5th, 2018 for it to get back to that at $31.05. On April 21st, 2023 it hit $109.35.
I don’t know what price he sold at but if he’d gotten $1-$2m and throw it into an index fund after that would of been way better than waiting 20 years for one stock to pop.
If he is still getting paid for the DX merch, I'm probably the one contributing to it. I have never stopped collecting DX and Triple H shirts from 1997 till now. Always waiting for new ones as well as plugging the gaps in my 98% completed collection.
Yo, that’s a good look for him. I wouldn’t have recognized him at all.
As someone who doesn’t keep up with wrestling, I actually thought Xpac was the guy on the right lmao
I was like, damn he still looks young 20 years later!
Taking the impaler from Gangrel was the most amazing thing you've done. Shit was dope
Hunter would have sorted that sweet deal for him ;)
It is good that WWE gives them royalties on merch
If it wasn't for the players, WWE wouldn't have merch to sell.
Every company should...?
Yeah, good on the multi million dollar company giving their talents a small percentage of royalties and not giving them basic shit, like, you know, health insurance
...good? Why is it ‘good’? Do you work for them or do you aspire to get hired by them? This is such a confusing comment out of context lmao
@@thedragonzord_ what’s the difference...? Or did you work for them at one point?
X looks clean. And sober 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The stocks were worth over 100 a share at one point recently
I don't like hearing about him selling his stock options out of desperate need for money.
I do, it means he was cut yet another break and gives him incentive to cut the foolery out. Vince gets a lot of crap as he should be this is the stuff that doesnt get talked about, although I do wish I he coulda sold and got 4 million 😁.
@@manuelvega1535 if he got that 4 mil he wouldn’t have any of it left so it probably did him a favour. He was a loose cannon so god only knows what would of happened if he had the funds to bank roll all his habits
Probably was options or another deal and Vince give him the options knowing he’d cash out and blow it all. Vince probably saved money in the long run this way.
What a career he had my goodness from the lighting kid to 1 2 3 kid from Syxx in the NWO to x Pac in the DX
at 0:27 when he says planning this big he sounded like big show.
Watched a film called The Bronze a couple of days ago, and who showed up for a cameo as a news reporter? Only Chris Van Vliet!
Haha that’s awesome!
That film is pretty funny to. Not a bad watch when the Olympics are coming up
He’s aged really well
It's crazy how fast the voice goes out for all these wrestlers once they get into their 50's
Na bro it’s probably from the drugs over the years lol
Drugs amigo
Yea cause the rock don’t sound like this 😂
Drugs drinking and smoking.
Real nice guy Sean met him in person and he got food poisoning eating tunafish out of the vending machine with Vader
that escalated quickly
@@AndrewDaniele87 Yea that was out of left field. "Yea he's a pretty good dude and then his family tragically died in a house fire when he was 8."
This video should be called "Chris not understanding what stock options are"
How does stock options work?
@@uknasa007 Stock Options are what you start with. But then you win some races & get some credits so you can upgrade to Stage 1. Then Stage 2. SO On & So Forth. Eventually you get the rally car & nobody can stop you. I don't get what Gran Turismo has to do with WWF but that's great they let him play. Hope this helps.
@@ATCRyderX thanks
@@ATCRyderX k
Haha seen this guy when I was small boy in Tijuana ahha loved that guy
Wrestlers take notes here for those struggling. X Pac looks amazing and healthy.
Best interview guy of all time is chris van vliet
It's actually quite horrible that these guys put their lives on the line and spent their whole careers travelling and working as hard as they do to finally find the right gimmick and make WWE insane amounts of money just to get barely anything at all even though we're talking about some of wrestlings greatest talents EVER. Its really hard to have any respect for the McMahon's at this point. Hunter too.
@450_B I remember seeing them at a house show in Upstate NY and they did the 3D through the table then pulled a kid out of the crowd and gave him a signed piece of that same table. There were some super stars there that night but The Dudley Boys stole the show. D'Von deserves better. They all do.
Capitalist soulless company
@@AhmedMahmoud-sq7xg without capitalism these guys wouldn’t have a name lol
They blow their money in their young age, that isn’t vinces fault , and look at this guy, he partied all throughout his career ,of course he has no money,that’s not vinces fault
@@musicismysaviour22yearsago He didnt get paid great at all either no matter how much he partied. As good as he was he wasnt The Rock or Hulk Hogan and those are two of the wrestlers that actually got paid a "real" sum of money.
He hit it Big as a Teenager. That's a crazy environment to Last so long in.
Sounds like he’s getting scraps for royalties
Sounded more to me that he's getting some reasonable money but it is only a tiny fraction of what the overall X-Pac, DX, NWO merch is. That's what I thought he was saying
He definitely gets near six figures.
This fucking guy had so much talent. Such a underrated wrestler. That match with Bret hart was legendary.
Lol how is he underrated? Part of TWO of the greatest best well known stables, in the Hall of fame, multiple belts, a literal LEGENDS contract, and him pinning Scott hall becoming the 1-2-3 kid is one of the most played clips in the history of wrestling lol. Just because you don’t win the world title doesn’t mean you’re underrated lol.
@@TheWillrocks51 holding the strap is everything.
@@kingchile1568 lol to children sure maybe. Imagine thinking 99% if wrestler are underrated just because they didn’t a world title lol.
@@TheWillrocks51 imagine if that man never did drugs and lived clean . His career would’ve been so much more successful . The words of Bret hart
He sounds like a thin Big Show, looks like a thin Braun Strowman, shifty like a thin Goldust.
I guess the title wasn’t technically misleading because he did speak on it, nobody thought this video was going to be him just skirting the question.
Pac is shot brother. He never really answers questions. Just babbles stuff. Love em though. Happy for him. He knows about the struggle.
Ok So does he sound just like HBK to anyone else besides me??
Love him or hate him, X-Pac is one of the true legends and is one of the few guys who can say that they were part of two of the most important factions of the 90s. Good to see him looking well and healthy
Sean Waltman is easily up there with the most underrated pro wrestlers of all time. I mean, I know he is respected but he was incredible in the ring and make others look a million bucks. Not only that, as Eric Bischoff alludes to, he had that cool edge that made him such an important component of both nWo and DX.
Him and D-Lo used 2 throw down
If he didn't spend his money on drugs and booze, he'd be in a much better place financially.
Yh.. He's on something
What are you his accountant? or just a stalker? How do you know how he's doing financially?
@Bobby Sutherland that's good if it's true.. But seems like something stronger
@@butchvito seems logical to me if you dont Buy something you have the money
i like seeing this dude looking relatively healthy.
All the money WWE has made and they still don’t pay a dividend on their stock.
They've been paying .12 a quarter for years, the last payment was June 25th . . . this is pretty easy to look up genius
They do pay a dividend.
Why would you even type this lmao.
Yeah they do
Can you ask him if his voice was always deep and raspy? Seeing him when he started as 123 Kid it would be so crazy to hear that voice come from him.
The raspy voice is probably a side effect of all the promos he did and maybe the drugs too.
@@crazyhayn Definitely the drugs. Listen to Jake
That’s what happens when you do drugs man.
Attitude era was a major pay day for ppl like xpac etc!
He was one of my favorite guys growing up. “Make some noise raise a little hell !!!”
He seems like a really cool dude out of character.
Kane and X-pac are underrated tag team
Not that underrated when comparing who was the best tag team partner Kane has had who is not either Undertaker or Big Show. Hurricane and Kane is way more underrated.
Kane and X-Pac were an unusual pairing but it clicked and were getting huge pops.
That storyline ruined Kane, tbh. They thought it would be great to add a human element to Kane, but the mysterious nature if Kane is why he was so over to begin with.
@@RyMicTheKing Can't keep him fully mysterious forever. That story made us feel more with Kane, plus Tori being added to Kane as his kayfabe girlfriend may look ridiculous on paper but it freaking worked and looked awesome especially when she was wearing black and red attire that matches with his attire. Like seriously, would you be mad at the X-Pac pairing more and saying that it "ruined" Kane or do I need to mention "Katie Vick" and Lita.
@@devlinsmith942 Katie Vick and Lita was just dirt on top of the grave of Kane. Didn't help that Eric Bischoff always punished people by having them face ".............KANE!!!" Every week and they won every single time lol.
WWE has a tendency to do that with big guys. Start them off strong, then start using them in flippy floppy situations basically to play as a filler to the build up of a bigger storyline, then they start making them funny and they're never. EVER. The same. A-gain.
"Half a penny from a penny" hard times
Sounds like Shib
The 1,2,3 Kid to now, crazy life for this guy
Who were the “12” people that got options? According to Jeff Jarrett he got some
Probably HHH, undertaker, kane, Jarrett, x pac, rock, Austin, big show, Foley. Idk who the other 3 would be. Maybe Chyna
Kane , road Dogg and godfather?
@@chrisreid688 possibly. Initially when he said 12 I thought no way him and Jarrett were on there but jericho just got there, and the radicalz don't arrive for a few more months so ya it makes sense.
@@thesportsguy126 I think the godfather for sure and Kane , Road Dogg's a long shot cause what about billy Gunn ? Wonder what years they all cashed out and profited or if anyone of them still have them
You know HBK's getting all that money!
Was my favorite wrestler as a kid
Would be nice to see X-Pac again for a run, but i hope it goes much better than the last outlaws run... That just made me sad!
this is the 2nd video ive seen where someone doesnt talk about how much they are.....wont be clicking on another one. you shouldnt either
None of your business how much it is what’s why.
@@Ravi-kq2ud not the point. Clickbait is BS and you shouldn’t defend it.
Wonder if he’s getting royalties from 1 Night in China
Sorry I must have missed it... So, how much does he make?
Exactly what I was thinking
Thank you for this comment.....stopping the video now
hes not going to tell you the actual amount he makes idiots. wwe probably has him not saying it to anyone publicly.
@@5star_BigChief631 exactly, and it's not like it's any of our business anyway
Jeff Jarrett said on his podcast that he got stock options, in fact the day WWE went public was the day after he "held" Vince up for that money and debuted for WCW the next night. Anyway Jeff said that he sold his stocks the same day they went public cause the prices tripled throughout the day so I'm not sure why X Pac couldn't do the same. Jeff also had a financial advisor handle all his money so perhaps the advisor was able to find some loopholes or something.
Bruce Prichard I'm also 65% sure said everyone got stock options....not just 12 people.
He looks great! One of the nicest wrestlers I've met.
Put him in the back in the Cruiserweight!!!
Okay... so the stocked opened at $24 on 10/22/99 and one year after that it was $14.88 I get the hint Xpac was impatient and didnt wait a day after to cash out - so he lost $10 a share... now had he waited 20 years to cash out the stock was $28.38.. and he would of had a nice retirement fund... SAVE your money and HOLD LONG TERM
Even then, that's not a great return over such a long period of time. Had he reinvested in better stocks he could have done pretty well for himself, but what happened, happened.
Waltman was in the room when the company went public.
Sean waltman looks good these past few years with his little dog and hoping he stays sober from alchohol and drug addictions along with his past demons
X Pac Shakur bringing in the big bucks
Dude looks great. Good to see these guys looking good once they’re older.
WWF wrestlers had more impact than on my childhood than almost anybody else I know next to my parents lol
I'm still waiting for him to turn himself into the "1-2-3 Comeback Kid"
He seems approachable and cool
On a recent interview Greg Valentine stated he still gets some good royalties from the WWE. It is all about planning and spending habits. Don’t use drugs!
If Hammer's getting good money, I would assume X is getting just as good or better. Much more marketable and part of much better runs during his career. Like you said, all about spending habits. Hammer can make it work, X has a more expensive lifestyle probably.
Oh.... is that it? lol By the title I was expecting to hear an actual number. But the clip just ends without any mention of any actual figures. xD lol
I hate it when they do shit like that
@@romelgonzales2754 yeah it can get annoying lol
tree fiddy
Man ur cool dawg. U turned what was about to be a negative into a positive. No matter what he said you basically followed up with something like “well ain’t that great”
It looked like xpac was on something
Definitely geeking out, twitching, fidgeting, scratching, etc
I think it’s just a nervous tick. Some ex users get it.
Xpacs just withstanding the test of time what guy
Damn he looks less high flier, and more technical grounded. Not saying he looks bad at all. He looks like he could comfortably pull off a 60min Ironman lmao!
He looks so much healthier now. Always lived Sean. But damn you clickbaited us Chris. I thought numbers came up. Instead all we got was a vague “I can’t retire right now on them” but that doesn’t really say anything
Is it me or does X-Pac's voice sound like the Big Show's?
He sounds like Big Show with a sore throat.
Cashing out stock options.... ouch.
Hope he used it for something good, like a house.
You hear so much about Wrestler deaths, so it's incredible to see when they overcome their demons and get healthy. Sean is looking brilliant!
How many people get a cut of the NWO merch? Almost every wrestler in the 90s was a member at one point lol
The nwo faction was the greatest faction of all time. Nothing else revolutionized the business like the nwo
@@pwx13 not disputing that. But I’m curious whether every wrestler and personality that was ever in the group gets a cut of the merch money like X Pac does. Does Virgil/Vincent get a cut? Lol
@@hitmanhart670 who knows, I wonder if Brett hart gets a cut
Im with xpac. I get stocks from my company every year and i cash them out the first day they are vested. Exactly a year later
Jeff Jarrett, X-PAC now we need to find out the other 10 who got stock options. Goes without saying Stone Cold, The Rock, Taker, HHH are definitely in that list if Jarret and Pac got options.
I think he may have been mistaken there because I remember an Ivory interview where she mentioned getting stock options, too. I think it was her RF Video shoot.
Good to see Waltman looking good and healthy.
Hall & Nash's favorite bag carrier. Shawn & Hunter's favorite reservation maker.
I think more than 12 people got stock options when WWE went public.
Maybe he just meant active wrestlers. That was the way I interpreted it. Curious to know who the others outside of the obvious would be.
great video
Where’s X Pac?? I don’t see him in the video
Wow! He looks unbelievably healthy! Good for him👏🏼🙏🏼
Damn Is This Xpac? This Foo Looks Great....I Respect The Fights Of His Struggle This Vato Went Thru, Glad He Doin Good.
X PAC looks like PAC (Neville).
Good to see X pac.
He looks like he is tweaking in this video he is definitely still using.
That man is Soo doped up rn
I met Xpac when I was in high school more than 10 years ago in bush gardens cool dude I'm like yo are you xpac he's like yeah I was damn can I have a picture cool dude
Sean Waltman Financial. I'm just a fan but this is how I'd split the DX royalties pie. HBK: 40% HHH: 35% Chyna's estate: 10% X-Pac and the Outlaws: 5% each.
My favorite wrestler right here
Ring names: 1-2-3 Kid; ✘-Pac; The Lightning Kid; The Kamikaze Kid; The Cannonball Kid,SYXX.
☛☑☑☑☑☑☑☚
Must be that Feng Shui bracelet that helped Sean
1 of 12 to get stock options... let's see....
Shawn, Hunter, Xpac, Hall, Nash, Taker, Hogan, Austin, Rock, Cena, Orton...annndddd big show
Closed my eyes he sound like Shawn Micheals. But im happy for him.
Just think how much younger he'd look if he shaved of his beard. It would take years off him. He's looking pretty good all the same
