Below are a couple of pro-wrestling stories involving WWE Hall of Famers X-Pac and Jim Ross:
– During a recent interview on ‘Insight’, WWF/WCW Legend Sean Waltman aka X-Pac revealed the absolute highlight of his entire professional wrestling career and stated that there is no close second.
Waltman named his 1993 surprise upset-victory against Razor Ramon as the greatest moment of his career, because that was the match that put him (as The 1-2-3 Kid) on the map.
Here’s what Sean had to say about his win over Razor being his #1 moment:
“There’s no close-second moment that was as important as that one was in my career. Really in my life too, that was so huge it was life-changing, the trajectory of my life changed because of that moment, it was huge. Had so much impact it was a unique way of introducing somebody.
It was after I got the big win I went to Japan for a couple of weeks and did a super junior tournament to finish up my obligations. It wasn’t a great match, he just beat the sh*t out of me, man, and then just slipped on a banana peel with the moonsault, right?”
In a shocking upset that rocked the pro wrestling world, The 1-2-3 Kid, a virtual unknown at the time, pulled off a stunning victory over the formidable Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) on WWF Monday Night RAW in 1993.
This unexpected win marked a pivotal moment in both wrestlers’ careers, catapulting The 1-2-3 Kid to stardom and solidifying RAW’s reputation for unpredictability.
– During a recent edition of his weekly ‘Grilling JR’ podcast, Jim Ross was asked whether he still considers Vince McMahon a friend, after they had a falling out several years ago.
Here’s what J.R. replied:
“Absolutely. Vince did a lot of great things for me. He was very pro-family. He and Jane (Ross’ late wife) had a good relationship. She went to the gym every day, so if you go to the gym at Titan Towers (WWF/WWE headquarters) every day you’re bound to see Vince at some point in time.”
