He and Jarrett were a good team, but they didn’t have Waltman’s ability to rise above the bullshit at the time. The babyface X-Pac style just happened to be really well-suited for the WWF in 1998-1999. 

Yeah, the whole “X-Pac was never good” or “Waltman was never good during the X-Pac run” thing is revisionist history. Fans got very tired of him not long after he turned heel at the end of the year, but he was easily the in-ring highlight in the company when the shows devolved into Russo-induced madness.

People diss X-Pac (and I’ve certainly been in that group), but he did good work for a long time and always sold well to his opponents. He got derailed with “personal problems” for awhile, but he’s still working today and by many accounts is still bringing it strong.

Owen Hart was still around in March 99 and he could wrestle rings around X-Pac.

In March 1999? Yes. Think about who else was around. Just about everyone else was green, old, or fighting nagging injuries, all while struggling to have good matches within the context of Vince Russo’s booking. It would change pretty quickly, but X-Pac was easily the most consistent guy on the roster for a good part…

Sure looks like the white crowd to party in the White House.

Bret Hart was in wcw by 99. Edge & Christain were barely relevant until after their time as the Brood & the Hardys were still job guys at that point. No Mecry 99 was the turning point for those 4.

Holy shit no one mentioned getting their rocks off while watching an actual child being born.

Are you a baby? No? Then STOP IT, THATS NOT YOUR FOOD.

And that’s the baby’s milk, not your milk

“counterpoint: why the hell wouldn’t men be sexually attracted to a woman that is giving birth?”

This whole string of comments has been one wild ride.

Judging people is my fetish

I’m not into it, but I think it kind of makes sense in a weird way. After all, aren’t almost all beauty markers in women fertility signals? Smooth skin implying freedom from disease and parasites, wide hips and a thin waist implying sexual fertility, full breasts signaling sexual maturity, really, all that sexiness is…

that’s the baby’s home. you stay outta there, you had your turn

hey, you can’t always get what you want

Yes, having a pregnant/lactation fetish is weird. Argue with me all you want about not judging people for what they crank off to, but it’s just god damn weird. That’s a god damn baby in that woman, and you’re INTO IT. And that’s the baby’s milk, not your milk, get your mouth off those udders. Keep it to cows.

He could probably do it drunk too. But then, I honestly think drunk endurance is a thing. I work at a brewery, and if I have a couple beers before I ride my bike home, I swear the only thing keeping me on the ground is the fact I don’t have wings attached. Of course once I stop I just want to puke.

-There are people who really think 73 isn’t the number? That’s moronic. Did he hit 73 home runs in a full season? Yes. Did he do it with steroids help? Yes, but so the fuck what? Everyone (including the pitchers!) used steroids. Unless opposing pitchers were being paid under the table to inflate his HR numbers, the 73…
