Is a book a reliable source? Just wondering because I have Shawn Michaels' autobiography, and if I could cite it, I could add a bit about the Curtain Call, and the Kliq. Thanks, Genius101 Wizard ( talk) 15:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Can someone please cite this reference for me? I added the bit about the Kliq in the personal life section. It's from both the Kliq Wikipedia article, and from "Heartbreak and Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story". The book is written by Shawn Michaels with Aaron Feigenbaum, in 2005. Thanks, Genius101 Wizard ( talk) 16:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
There is an overview of the RF Video shoot interview here [1] which might be handy, has his side of his WWE release among other things -- Apsouthern ( talk) 12:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I really don't know how to edit pages but there is no link for the X-Factor or what it is in basic terms. 63.214.229.41 ( talk) 03:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
As per this video, it looks like the X-Factor is simply a run of the mill sitting facebuster. He basically grabs the opponents head, jumps up, opponent jumps too, then he slams their face into the mat, in a seated position. He starts it off with a kick to the gut. Basically, the IP user would like a link to a wrestling move page, complete with a description of the move. 199.212.27.249 ( talk) 22:30, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with the implication the article makes that GWF was an "independent organization". Considering they had national television clearance via ESPN, they really don't fit the term as it's applied within pro wrestling. 76.226.216.9 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC).
Any quick look at the linked title histories shows 1992 is blatantly wrong, with his first PWA Light Heavyweight Title win being on April 12, 1990. So approximately when WAS his debut, anyway? Late '89? Very early '90? -- Bix ( talk) 19:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Waltman should be credited with a WCW Tag Team Championship reign, as WWE credits him as being "Freebirded" into the title with Hall and Nash in 1997.
The belts are WWE property, so if they want to say Waltman was a co-champion using the Freebird Rule, then their word is law, since it's their title. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:22, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Moonsault should mentioned that it used to be a finisher of his as Waltman did use a Moonsault to beat Razor Ramon and it his most famous finisher under the 123 Kid gimmick from his first WWF run. It was also his finisher in the WWF Monday Night Raw videogame for the Genesis, SNES and 32X. [1]
He also beat a young Jeff Hardy with this submission move. [2] Which isn't a Crossface Chickenwing.
His X-Factor Facebuster he didn't start using until his WCW run as Syxx and is also where he picked up the Bronco Buster. 90.195.150.31 ( talk) 23:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Another move that 123 Kid used was a Diving Legdrop which he uses here to beat a jobber called Black Phantom. [3] 90.195.150.31 ( talk) 23:23, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

The subject of Waltman's Attitude Era ring name does not appear to be addressed in a satisfactory manner. The current section on his return to WWF claims that "X-Pac" derives from "ex-Wolfpac." This is a novel theory that does not appear to have any support from other sources.
The more commonly accepted explanation is that the ring name evolved from 1-2-3 Kid>Syxx/Syxx-Pac>X-Pac. "Syxx-Pac" was reportedly a nickname given to him by Hall and Nash, with various origin explanations found in other sources. "X" was reportedly derived from "DX."
I added both a Citation Needed tag and included the alternate and more commonly accepted origin explanation, and the edits were immediately reverted. Requesting that anyone with a source regarding this issue please edit article accordingly. 130.45.24.168 ( talk) 06:25, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
