WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently discussed several topics on an episode of his podcast, “My World With Jeff Jarrett.” One key point he emphasized was his belief that X-Pac should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a solo talent, even though he has already been inducted as part of D-Generation X (DX).
Jarrett said, “I’m going to be way, way biased… It’s a no-brainer. You look at the Lightning Kid at a young age, his matches with Jerry Lynn. You can call it the X Division, before X-Division, or Junior Heavyweight, or Flyweight, or however you want to say that. But in his earliest of days, coming on the scene, he was turning heads and making headlines as, truly, a kid. Then, when you look at his entry point into the WWF as the 1-2-3 Kid, and the huge upset he had over Razor Ramon. I know that there’s some historians that will kind of point to different things, maybe Shawn and Bret, or the smaller guys having a bigger impact, because in the 80s, I wasn’t small, I was tiny, comparatively speaking, it was just it was a different era. I know in the 70s it was pretty much a big man’s business as well. When you kind of think of a trailblazer, somebody who broke the mold, positioned it in a unique way, that 1-2-3 Kid upset can happen anywhere. He battled some demons, like all of us do in life, but he kept rolling. You look at when he showed up on Nitro, that piece of the puzzle in the nWo, named him Syxx. He was the sixth member. Then, him going back [to WWE], there is a lot of moments that Kid was a part of. So if you know your history, it is absolutely no disrespect to anybody that’s currently in the Hall of Fame, but, my gosh, without question.”
