Bruce Prichard Discusses Sean Waltman’s Legacy in Professional Wrestling

During a recent episode of his podcast, Something To Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard shared his thoughts on the career of WWE Hall of Famer Sean Waltman, also known as the 1-2-3 Kid and X-Pac. Prichard praised Waltman’s skills as a performer and his ability to elevate others in the ring.

Prichard described Waltman as a “journeyman” in the wrestling business, a term used to refer to a wrestler who has worked in various territories and promotions. He acknowledged that Waltman had a successful career, making a name for himself wherever he went. However, Prichard believed that Waltman’s legacy goes beyond that of a typical journeyman.

“I think Sean’s a step above that,” Prichard said. “He had the skill set to get over, but also to get other people over. That’s a unique skill set, and one that he definitely had and was good at.”

Waltman’s ability to put his opponents over while still maintaining his own popularity is a testament to his talent and professionalism. Throughout his career, he worked with numerous top stars and helped to elevate their status in the industry.

Prichard also expressed his fondness for Waltman’s portrayal of the 1-2-3 Kid character. The gimmick, which saw Waltman as an underdog who often pulled off surprising victories, resonated with fans and showcased his versatility as a performer.

“The whole 1-2-3 Kid era, I actually enjoyed the hell out of that,” Prichard admitted. “It was just so much fun. It was nice to see a young guy that was fresh. It was fun.”

Waltman’s time as the 1-2-3 Kid allowed him to showcase his athleticism and charisma, solidifying his place as a fan favorite. The character’s popularity helped propel Waltman’s career to new heights and set the stage for his future success as X-Pac.

While Waltman’s legacy may be that of a journeyman, Prichard’s comments highlight the impact he had on the wrestling industry. His in-ring abilities, versatility, and willingness to put others over cement his status as a respected and influential figure in professional wrestling.
