Former WWE Star Sean Waltman AKA X-Pac Recovered From Hepatitis C With $100,000 Treatment, Hints Return

Sean Waltman, better known as X-Pac in WWE, finally has cheerful news for fans. Yes, he has recovered from a long-termed illness and is good to go. In a recent appearance, he spoke in detail on what kept him away from the action.

For the unversed, X-Pac gained popularity during the late 90s run in WWE. He is still remembered for his chemistry with Brian Girard James aka Road Dogg. Also, he saw a rise in fame due to his association with D-Generation X stable. The group was formed by Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna and Rick Rude and rocked the Attitude Era.

While speaking on his own X-Pac, 1, 2, 360 podcast, Sean Waltman said, “I had hepatitis C for a long time. I tested positive for it when I came back to TNA. After that, I couldn’t get cleared in certain states with athletic commissions, so TNA and WWE couldn’t really have me in matches. I would just do little matches, nothing serious, no blood or anything. Now I’m cured, everyone. Just this year. I hadn’t mentioned it publicly. It cost $100,000 for treatment. It’s $1,000 a pill, one pill every day. I feel great. Some people are going, ‘How come he never came back?’ That’s the reason. Now, that’s clear.” (transcription credit to Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert)
