what, x-pac too cool for a video game now
Aj

Probably didn’t offer him the satisfactory amount of money
Bob

I dont think anyone would really care one way or another if he was in this game, I'd stay take the offer
Alex P

That's really cool. It seems like THQ wants to take an approach like 2ksports did with NBA and EA did with NHL.

Sean Waltman is under a WWE contract as far as I know. Isn't he down in FCW working with the developmental talent?
Jason

Does anyone really care that he was offended? I mean the guy really didn’t do much but get his ass kicked in almost every match he was in and if he won it was due to cheating.

  You do know that he was booked to perform in that way don’t you? But no, nobody really cares that he was offended lol, although how he can do the things he did with Chyna and still be offended by anything is beyond me…
  - Jason
    
    Yeah I know he was booked that way. I agree about the Chyna part. She is a train wreck too!
Jim

What an idiot! The way I look at it some money is better than no money. So why not be a part of the game and get a pay day for doing absolutely nothing? How much does he think NFL players get paid for being in the Madden games? There’s way more football players on those games than there is wrestlers in these WWE games. So the NFL guys have to be getting paid less than what Waltman was offered and you don’t hear them complaining or being insulted by what they’re paid. Waltman is his own worst enemy.

  I totally agree with you on that,because the WWE games are really expensive,while the basketball,soccer games are normal prices as video games.

The offer could not have been to bad.

If he would just think about it, it could help fund his habit(s). What a douche…

  Thq is also going to put in a Wellness Policy so yo will not be able to use x-PAC

jee, i wish i was in a situation where i could deny probably $5,000 + 2% from sales. -.-

I can’t fathom what is insulting about it. I would have liked to see it happen. Personally, I was a fan of his ring work while he was with WWF, no matter all the trash that’s talked about him
Tim

This was talked about on Twitter over a week ago. Waltman, himself, mentions being insulted in his tweets and wanted to be contacted by others who received a similar offer.
Khris

Wow x-PAC being insulted by this yet he is friends with Kevin Nash who is paid pretty much to do nothing?
Ray

Why waste the space. Gillberg would be more entertaining.

  Greatest entrance in the world.
  - Wwe4L76
    
    Not

X-Pac is a PUNK, and not in a good way! He was cool when he was the 123 Kid, but then he got caught up in the Attitude Era, and the attitude went to his head. Not to mention the drugs, and god knows what else. I say if he doesn't want to be in the game, so be it.
Alex

I can live without X-Pac. I mean does he really matter anymore. He hasn't been relevant since the before the attitude era end.
