8. X-Pac
Sean Waltman doesn’t paint the greatest picture of either of his parents. However, it is his father who caused the majority of his problems. Just like Edge’s dad, Waltman’s father created a whole lot of issues for his family by the effortless act of not being there.
X-Pac has stated in a number of interviews that he was pretty much left to fend for himself after the age of five, while his mother was out doing whatever she could to provide for her family. The lack of a male influence led to the boy idolizing any man who came into his life, praying they would assume the role of his father. Waltman’s unwavering trust in any adult male resulted in him being molested several times, something which he kept to himself until his late 20s.
Had X-Pac’s father been there for him, it’s likely the alcoholism and drug addiction, which led to his release from WWE, never would have occurred. With clear charisma and in-ring ability, it looks like the only thing X-Pac was lacking in order to become a major star was a father who cared about him.
