Sean still lived arount Minneapolis when I was a kid and my parents worked for FedEx, one day he gave my step dad a signed card for me when he told him I was a big fan of wrestling. Always had a place in my heart after that.
That’s pretty cool. Here in Massachusetts they used to come to local malls fairly regularly around the Boston area. Always had long lines to wait in but Igot NWO Kevin Nash’s autograph and when Goldberg came omg the amount of people that showed up we must have waited in that line for hours to get an autograph and snap a picture on a throwaway camera
Kid had a super rough upbringing. He still made it to the top with hard work and dedication. Than he fell but climbed back to the top again. His podcast is one of my favorites. A true legend.
Sean's matches have always been gold. If only the Light Heavyweight belt were around in the early 90's. Sean, Owen, and Hakushi would have owned the division. Imagine what that era could have looked like.
I remember his initial run in WWF. It was great watching him develop on TV. And his style at the time for WWF wasn't many performing like him. Truly one of the greats
Bret Hart vs 123 Kid is definitely an underrated match. I think the main reason Kid had a forgettable heel turn was because for years he was built as a plucky underdog, who would in most (but not all) cases appear to be in way over his head, but would do everything he could to overcome the odds. And because of this he just didn't come across as a believable heel at that time and the crybaby match certainly didn't help.
The Dibiase faction angle sucked. A bunch of mid-card guys who were either already heels or turned into heels for the purposes of joining the group, it was really just the writers just being too lazy to come up with anything for those wrestlers.
I remember watching that match live and being shocked when he won it, even though I was familiar with him from Global. I already liked him, so I marked out big time. That run would have worked a lot better if he had picked up more wins. Even if they were flukes, it would have made the gimmick more effective if his win loss record had improved after that win.
The only way a heel turn might have worked imo is if he changed his name and gimmick because he didn't like being called a kid. Actually what wcw did (repackaging as Syxx) was a stroke of genius and probably helped to extend his career.
I met Sean once at a small indie show in the UK. Despite having a shoulder injury, he showed up, worked a solid match and was really nice and chatty with the fans after the show. I've got a lot of time for the guy.
Im not sure but i wanna say it was both Scott Hall & Sean who wanted to do the whole scenario of him vs razor ramon. & then he beats him fast like that. 1,2,3 & from 123 kid being "born" it also made Razor Ramon a baby face at the same time after losing to him like 2 weeks later.
I'll never forget him beating Scott Hall at the Hammerstine ballroom on RAW in May of 93. His classic with Bret on Raw in July of 94 for the WWE title. The character worked out well.
He was one of my favorites growing up because he was always smaller than everyone else but had a ton of heart and could work with the best of them and gave us exciting matches.
That Bret Hart v 123 kid was the best match of the ‘new generation era’ after his plucky underdog storyline fizzled out his heel turn was pretty forgettable before he left in 96.
I’ll have to agree, even though Brett want my favorite, I still remember him being a super professional wrestler and used that to where fans actually liked it
Yep i used to make his hitman logo and draw it everywhere to the point where school cops thought it was a gang sign hahaha. My nickname was hitman as a kid to cos of how much i watched him and wanted to be like him haha its funny looking back on it.
@@lexkanyima2195 even Kevin Nash had a mullet when he first came in as diesel and I’m not going to lie bc in 93 and 94 I had a mullet I was 9 & 10 then finally my mom let me grow out the front eventually after begging lol originally I was only allowed to have long hair in the back and I hated it like that even back then and yes I had a rat tail & bowl cut & even the classic under shave once I got to 5 grade bc I was allowed to grow all my hair out by then in 95/96 lol man the 80s & 90s had the craziest hairstyle
I'm so glad that you've had the opportunity to go back and examine certain topics more in depth. I just re-watched your first two videos on Waltman and thought to myself that wish you would do a deep dive on the 123 kid, next day you deliver. Keep up the excellent work.
WOOOOWW I finally feel listened to. I ask you to do 123 kid for four videos straight and this pops on my timeline lol. Sincerely appreciated from your day 1 subscriber
I got really into wrestling around 1994-1995 when I was 6-7yrs old. Bret Hart was my favorite and obviously they were pushing him so not a surprise that any kid would love Bret. We all wished to be the kid in the front row who got his pink shades before the match. But he obviously put on a hell of a match night in and night out. “Who gave so and so (insert any superstar from the 90s) their best match?” The answer is more often then not BRET the Hitman HART. Excellence of Execution, he was goddamn right about that one
Having just binged a lot of your videos from years past. The production, editing, not sure if you use a script but even your comfort on the microphone has improved so much. Amazing Channel borther
I love that Bret Hart vs 123 Kid match! I will never forget the look that Bret had on his face after The Kid gave him that first arm drag. It was like "ok, he just showed me something here." That was an excellent match.
The fact he was used to try out new talent speaks volume for the confidence in his skills that the WWF held , considering before this people like Bret Hart held that spot.
i still cant get over how much he actually looked like a KID during his many "___ Kid" names (what was he, like 15? xD)...something about the Facial Hair he sprouted as (Syx)X-Pac definitely aged him up, visually...
@Marc Carran right, but my point is that the facial hair definitely helped 'the look' lol...wherever it is on the timeline-- its Around the time he dropped the 'Kid' names...
Pushed thumbs up before the video even started, was super excited when my notifications went off and seen the title. Super dope video, and the best wrestling content on youtube as always! Thank you for all your hard work wrestling bios!!
Thank you for your content, it’s so good bro. Been binge watching/listening like it’s a podcast. Great work. I’ve always wanted to know the story of 123 kid so this is gonna be a great one!
I watch some of these from time to time and I love them! I’m gonna post this elsewhere eventually, but I love you vids!! Need to do 10 best if each companies most underrated wrestlers, or just a top 20 overall. 123 kid, xpacc, Waldman, will make either and ll lists potentially. I remember razor decimating 123 kid and him piling the upset like 8 yrs old!! Great stuff . Exactly waldman workednhard and worked his way up even though everything was stacked against him in real life!!
Good job, man. I remember watching the kid back in 90s and, yeah, he pulled out some quite athletic and amazing move combined with speed. Such a great westler who brought some fresh air in the panorama, as you say, displaying what new generations can do. Loved your video.
I grew up in the UK so no live GWF (didn't have satellite till 94) but I used to get videotapes of wrestling at car boot sales/yard sales. NWA USA championship wrestling and the GWF Brutes, Bumps and Bandages VHS. Man, memories, Black Bart, Eddie Gilbert, The Patriot ...
Going to WCW was actually worked out amazing well for him. Especially when you consider it eventually to X-Pac. If the guy stayed sober and was less obnoxious, he probably could have been a much bigger star. I always found him interesting because he was clearly one of the better wrestlers of his time, but no promotion could figure out how to take him to the next level.
i remember watching the gwf on espn and seeing the lightning kid. i was always impressed by his athleticism, and i was so happy when he got his big break in the wwf.
I love Sean Waltman when i was growing up. I was the same size as him back when i was younger and he was always inspirational to me for some reason. Im glad your remaking another Xpac video! Can't wait for that! Btw, love the Busta Rhymes outro song at the end of this video 😂🤘🏾
Another damn good video! This run for Waltman has some of the best examples of how wrestling styles morphed and bridged between 80's era WWF and Attitude.
One thing about Scott Hall when he was making a name for himself he didn't mind putting anyone over and was never pissy about the decision. Even in WCW when the nWo were basically always winning or matches always ended in about 6 seconds because everyone just interfered straight away his matches had him losing to a few random people. So I always look back on when he lost the match to the 1-2-3 Kid as him always wanting others to be as successful as him
Even the great Scott Hall had his moments. Don't forget, Hall was not happy about having to put Austin over, felt uncomfortable and ultimately backed out of working a long program with the Goldust character and openly complained about Shane Douglas.
@@aaronneville1164 the gold dust thing he talked about he wasn’t so much working with Goldust it was he didn’t agree with it because it wasn’t the way the company did business and he didn’t like that they were painting his character as homophobic
I have NEVER been a fan of Shawn in any form! But I have the most respect for him as a performer who LOVED the wrestling business and was always willing to improve and learn.
I remember the uproar when The Kid beat Razor Ramone. You NEVER saw a jobber beat a popular guy cleanly. You just never saw it. It was kind of ground breaking in a way. I might even go out on a limb and say that the first Kid wins against Razor might even be the first time ever that a jobber beat one of the popular guys cleanly, and almost definitely was the first time that said jobber actually gained some popularity. When I was watching WWE back then, I was a huge fan of Iron Mike Sharp. He was hilarious. I saw him wrestle at my local high school, and he was my favorite jobber. The man could do a comedy bit really well. I was really hoping after they gave The Kid a chance that they would do the same thing for Sharp. It never happened, sadly.
@Marc Carran that was his gimmick. He was the jobber that won, then was no longer a jobber. You are right that he was not a jobber but that was his gimmick.
Say what you want about Scott Hall and his personal life but he was always willing to put over and teach someone who deserved it and had a great mind for gimmicks and storyline ideas.
@@CeeMigoLoCo you must not watch wrestling much he was a big member in 2 of the biggest factions in wrestling history and had some great matches early with bret hart and other greats he was a cruiser weight fighting heavy weights and one of the first to do it
Like, when you got a babyface killa like Waltman, you got to be careful how you portray him. Otherwise he ends up looking like, as OSW constantly refers to 'Kid', a little bitch.
I remember The Lightening Kid in GWF It was on ESPN His matches against Jerry Lynn for the light heavyweight championship was great I was happy when he debut in WWE
@@secoTheSonicFan After giving this more thought... Goldberg gave a career ending injury to the only man that could have made him look good. The world works in crazy ways..

123 Kid was probably the only wrestler (at the time) who looked like he was attending high school during the day.
very miss ou best one
Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy actually was in high school by day and on Raw by night at the time.
Now all of AEW looks like they all stepped off the intercampus bus for vocational training at Tony Kahn's gymnasium.
@@Sluggen7n7 for real?, dang that’s cool
He looked like he rode the short bus there too
Sean still lived arount Minneapolis when I was a kid and my parents worked for FedEx, one day he gave my step dad a signed card for me when he told him I was a big fan of wrestling. Always had a place in my heart after that.
That's tight
Badass man
That’s pretty cool. Here in Massachusetts they used to come to local malls fairly regularly around the Boston area. Always had long lines to wait in but Igot NWO Kevin Nash’s autograph and when Goldberg came omg the amount of people that showed up we must have waited in that line for hours to get an autograph and snap a picture on a throwaway camera
I met him at a grocery store in Encino a couple years ago, really cool guy
He does seem like a really genuine, down to earth, humble dude from shoot interviews and stuff.
Kid had a super rough upbringing. He still made it to the top with hard work and dedication. Than he fell but climbed back to the top again. His podcast is one of my favorites. A true legend.
Sean's matches have always been gold. If only the Light Heavyweight belt were around in the early 90's. Sean, Owen, and Hakushi would have owned the division. Imagine what that era could have looked like.
I remember his initial run in WWF. It was great watching him develop on TV. And his style at the time for WWF wasn't many performing like him. Truly one of the greats
WWF 👍
As a scrawny kid, I loved the Kid because he was someone I could relate to in the age of giants
Same reason I liked Bastion Booger
They are all Giants no matter the
Same with HBK

And because of this he just didn't come across as a believable heel at that time and the crybaby match certainly didn't help.
I remember thinking that heel turn was so dumb.
The Dibiase faction angle sucked. A bunch of mid-card guys who were either already heels or turned into heels for the purposes of joining the group, it was really just the writers just being too lazy to come up with anything for those wrestlers.
I'm surprised I haven't seen this on OSW Review yet. Especially with the most recent story arch.
I remember watching that match live and being shocked when he won it, even though I was familiar with him from Global. I already liked him, so I marked out big time. That run would have worked a lot better if he had picked up more wins. Even if they were flukes, it would have made the gimmick more effective if his win loss record had improved after that win.

You have no idea how much I wanted this video. I was always a mark for Sean Waltman
as was i
Fr, waltman is one of the most underrated of all time.
Waltman is one of my favourites. Hes one of very few wrestlers ive met and he was wonderful to talk to
Even when he had nuclear "X-Pac Heat"?
I met him in the Kansas City airport the day after Owen Hart died.
This is one of those rare occasions in wrestling where one match got a character over, and Sean Waltman made sure to take advantage of it to.
Im not sure but i wanna say it was both Scott Hall & Sean who wanted to do the whole scenario of him vs razor ramon. & then he beats him fast like that. 1,2,3 & from 123 kid being "born" it also made Razor Ramon a baby face at the same time after losing to him like 2 weeks later.

Until 95 when they turned him heel.
He was one of my favorites growing up because he was always smaller than everyone else but had a ton of heart and could work with the best of them and gave us exciting matches.
That Bret Hart v 123 kid was the best match of the ‘new generation era’ after his plucky underdog storyline fizzled out his heel turn was pretty forgettable before he left in 96.
In retrospetive its strange that he never had heel a run with Mr. Fuji as evil Mr. Myagi.
That’s Was Such wicked match it gave 123 Kid a big push even tho losted.They dropped the ball
@@Baastilein31 Vince McMahon probably never even heard of the Karate Kid.
Sid & The Kid should've won the tag titles in early 96, dann Sid and his softball season
@@rayvenkman2087 Vince never heard of Scarface either lol That didn't stop Hall & Hennig from pitching him the idea, & thankfully, Vince Loved it.
He got so much heat in 1999-2000. I felt it was undeserved considering his impressive in-ring abilities.
The match between kid and Brett pretty much confirms why Brett's the best there is, the best was and the best there ever will be
Brett Hart could make you forget reality and make you believe in kayfabe.
I’ll have to agree, even though Brett want my favorite, I still remember him being a super professional wrestler and used that to where fans actually liked it

One of my first favorite wrestlers when I began watching wrestling
Sean Waltman was a great worker.
Absolutely
What an epic mullet Sean Waltman had back then. Especially in his debut

This is his 3rd video on Sean Waltman
@@billblaski9523 did u even watch the video? Did u listen to what he said?
@@CreationsVibration no i leave comments on videos without watching them, its my gimmick
It's crazy how many guys WCW let slip through their fingers in the early 90's - Waltman, Triple H, RVD, Sabu, Nash....
Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Brian Pillman, Paul Wight, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero...
@@AmateurBarbarian Vader , Brian Pillman , Marc Mero etc
They all won world titles in WWE.
Yeah, Wight did it in WCW too, but come on. How you let a giant get away?
Damn the list keeps getting more and more depressing for wcw
It's weird because you'd see them in WCW as a mid card and a few years later they'd be top draw stars with Vince McMahon and WWF
They always said if you couldn't have a good match with Waltman, you couldn't have a good match ever
"They" being his buddies, of course...
Qlik rules loser
A breath of fresh air for the WWF. For a brief period he was my favorite wrestler. Vividly remember watching that match against razor.
He was at the right time

I remember watching the kid back in 90s and, yeah, he pulled out some quite athletic and amazing move combined with speed. Such a great westler who brought some fresh air in the panorama, as you say, displaying what new generations can do. Loved your video.
Used to watch him WAY back in the day in the Texas-based Global Wrestling Federation. Takes me back.
ESPN everyday after school.
It is interesting to see his GWF matches and Sean's first run as a heel...
Yeah, I miss the old Sportatorium.
I grew up in the UK so no live GWF (didn't have satellite till 94) but I used to get videotapes of wrestling at car boot sales/yard sales. NWA USA championship wrestling and the GWF Brutes, Bumps and Bandages VHS.
Man, memories, Black Bart, Eddie Gilbert, The Patriot ...
I was so hyped when he came to WWF/E. I watched him on ESPN before WWF.
Being friends with HBK, Hall, Nash. Probably helped a bit
He was doing his thing way before that back in Global Wrestling
Also his talent, work ethic, & creativity did him the most favors. As they do with talented people
This is an insane channel. Thanks for doing this man.

This was a great video. I enjoyed every minute. Love the work you're doing. Bringing back childhood memories.

Can't believe that the surprise 1-2-3 victory that Sean had on DiBiase is not mentioned. That's when Razor truly turned face.

This was awesome to watch when I was a kid. I remember all of this like it was yesterday.
I remember really hating the 123 kid. In hindsight he worked the gimmick well.
That's weird. Plenty of people have hated X-Pac, but I've never met one wrestling fan that hated the 1-2-3 Kid.
The whole time or when he turned heel?
@@Danielson1818 some ppl are weird
I remember The Lightening Kid in GWF It was on ESPN His matches against Jerry Lynn for the light heavyweight championship was great I was happy when he debut in WWE
I hope the sequel to this will be an in depth look at "One night in Chyna"
That would be great. To be honest, it's better than Sunny's vids.
Watch the sequel ANOTHER NIGHT IN CHINA 😂😆
Dude looks china
Legendary among us middle schoolers at the time. I've yet to see it. Can't do it now that she's dead.
Forget it Johnny, it’s Chynatown…
123 Kid single handedly decimating The Smoking Guns after the match is the greatest thing I ever seen lmao
Pac was adorable 😂 he was corrupted
Wow! I've actually been wanting this video since I subscribed. 😺
Og Sean Waltman aka lighting Kid aka 1-2-3- kid aka SixxPac aka X-Pac#1
Cannonball kid, kamikaze kid...etc....just more names you forgot...GEEEZER
This is really in depth and an excellent piece. Thanks
Awesome for Brett to work for him. Brett could make a mannequin look good.
Well said!
@@secoTheSonicFan No one can make Goldberg look good. He was all pomp and circumstance.
@@secoTheSonicFan After giving this more thought... Goldberg gave a career ending injury to the only man that could have made him look good. The world works in crazy ways..
Your intros and outros to your videos are amazing
I absolutely hated him... which I why I loved everything he did! What a legend!
These are quality videos. Awesome find.
And Then....."I'm on drugs."
And Now...."Hey, I got a gut."
I remember that match as a kid when The 123 Kid ran off with the money jumped in a car and split. COMEDY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bret Hart and 123 Kid my Favorite New Gen Wrestlers!! I was a HUGE mark as a kid for Kid lol 😂
Dude this channel has the best wrestling theme remixes. That outro song is fire
Please please do a “life and career” video on Kevin Sullivan
