Sean Michael Waltman (born July 13, 1972) is an American podcaster and retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name X-Pac. He wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) under the ring names 1–2–3 Kid and X-Pac intermittently between 1993 and 2002, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as Syxx, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Syxx-Pac and Sean Waltman.
Waltman has won a dozen championships between WWE, WCW, and TNA; the majority being cruiserweight and tag team titles. He is the only wrestler to have held the TNA X Division Championship, the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, and the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship; he also held the WCW Cruiserweight and WWF Light Heavyweight titles simultaneously. He was also the final WWF Light Heavyweight Champion before the title was retired in favor of the Cruiserweight Championship he simultaneously held. Waltman's WWF World Heavyweight Championship match against titleholder Bret Hart in July 1994, was ranked by WWE as the third-best match ever aired on the company's flagship Raw program. He was part of The Kliq, a group that was known for their influence on WWF storylines in the mid-1990s.
Waltman declared himself retired in July 2019. In parallel, he was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of the 2019 class under the X-Pac name as a member of D-Generation X, and will be inducted a second time as a part of the 2020 class, this time under his real name and as part of the New World Order; this will make him the first person in history to be inducted two years in a row, and the first to be inducted twice as part of teams or groups.
