In an interview with Fightful, Sean Waltman discussed his friendship with Kevin Nash, as well as memories of being in the legendary, albeit polarizing NWO stable.
“Yeah. We don’t get to see each other nearly as much as we did just, say, a couple of years ago. A couple years ago Kevin, Scott and I were making a lot of appearances together. Now Scott’s not with us and things have happened in Kev’s life that have prevented him from leaving the house as much. I just don’t see him and I miss him a lot, man. He’s my best friend and I love him.”

Despite being a part of the NWO on WCW Monday Nitro, there were parties in WWE that were against the former Syxx rejoining the band of hooligans.
“There were some people that weren’t big fans of mine behind the scenes that tried to keep me from coming back in the nWo. It just didn’t make any sense for them not to put me in, you know? It didn’t make a bit of sense. It was perfect. I had a little bit of a career slump before that. Then I was out with an injury and I got in a lot better shape in that time. Coming back into that nWo spot was sweet. I was gone not that long after, like by July I was gone from the company. But my last match was a main event on RAW and my house shows were all main events on my way out. It was great for me. It’s just like when I came in after Shawn got hurt into DX. No one’s replacing Shawn. No one’s replacing Hulkster. But there’s an empty spot there that needs to be filled and I was really good at filling them spots.”

Sean Waltman was also a member of D-Generation X the night after WrestleMania 15, under the name X-Pac. Waltman would soon move on from the group after its dissolution in 2000.
