#8 1-2-3 Kid Upsets Razor Ramon
Trending
Sean Waltman is undoubtedly a significant name in the annals of WWF/E. While he never really became the Superstar that fellow Clique members HBK and Triple H would later become, Waltman was always capable of making his presence known.
In 1998, he helped WWF fire a significant shot at WCW, after he made his return to Vince’s company, joining Triple H in the newly formed D-Generation X. On his first night back, Waltman, now known as X-Pac, cut a shoot promo on WCW and Eric Bishoff in particular, helping to build up the ‘Raw is WAR’ angle that led to a ratings fight back by the WWF.

Back in 1993, Waltman was trying his best to secure a contract to appear on Monday Night Raw. After a few failed attempts, somebody in creative decided to give him a shot, and he would be properly introduced to the audience in shocking fashion.
Waltman was given the name ‘The 1-2-3 Kid’ and wrestled as a small underdog character. In May 1993, on an episode of Raw, The Kid defeated the main event talent Razor Ramon in a shock upset. Razor had just completed a programme with Bret Hart for the WWF Championship earlier that year and was not supposed to be losing to a guy half his size. This led to a very enjoyable programme between the two, eventually culminating in a Razor face turn.
Later that year, Waltman would find himself as a member of the Clique, a real life backstage group consisting of Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and later Triple H. While the Clique was pretty much detested by the rest of the locker room, being a part of it was a sure fired way of being featured prominently. Waltman’s career would benefit greatly from being involved in that initial feud with Razor, as this, arguably, was the reason why he was later invited into the DX fold.
1993 shocking moments were in scant supply on Raw, at least in comparison to later years, but this victory by the 1-2-3 Kid certainly lives on in many people’s memory.
