| 1 | * DesignatedVillain: As a result of the extreme XPacHeat he had, he would always be considered the bad guy even when he didn't do anything wrong or remotely villainous during a match. In 2000, X-Pac had a tag team match with Road Dogg against the Hardy Boyz. During the match, Lita actually interfered and attacked X-Pac to the wild cheers of the audience, even though up to that point, X-Pac hadn't even done anything heel-ish at all. Under any other time or context, a female valet interfering in a match like that against a wrestler would have been considered the evil heel. However, because this was [[TheScrappy X-Pac]] during the height of his infamy (and Lita during the height of her popularity), there was absolutely no chance for X-Pac to be seen as the innocent victim, even though he didn't do anything bad and Lita was the one who attacked him without provocation. |
| 2 | * FanNickname: Thanks to WebVideo/OswReview, he's become known as "Lil' Bitch". |
| 3 | * GrowingTheBeard: Literally and figuratively, as he became Syxx in WCW and then X-Pac in WWE. |
| 4 | * HarsherInHindsight: In his very first promo back in the WWE in 1998, he says he's there to "rip ass." Waltman would later do just that--literally-- many years later in an infamous incident. |
| 5 | * ReplacementScrappy: For Ray González in WWC. Not even putting Wrestling/{{Carl|ito Colon}}y in the ring with him could get a positive response. |
| 6 | * RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In 2012 he shaved off his beard, returned to the 1-2-3 Kid gimmick and worked several matches for Wrestling/{{Chikara}}. He busted his ass in the ring (earning some well deserved "He's still got it!" chants from the fans), put over indy star Wrestling/ElGenerico, and afterwards left a letter in the Chikara locker room thanking them for giving him the chance to work for them and that it was the best time he'd had in wrestling in a decade. |
| 7 | * TheScrappy: One of the most notable Scrappies in the history of wrestling, so much so that he [[TropeNamer named]] and [[TropeCodifier codified]] his own brand of Scrappiness: XPacHeat. |
| 8 | * VindicatedByHistory: Many modern commentators have noted that despite his reputation, X-Pac has always been a legitimately good to great worker, especially when considering the fact that he was one of the first generation of smaller cruiserweights/light-heavyweights, alongside peers like Wrestling/DeanMalenko, Wrestling/ReyMysterio, and Wrestling/ChrisJericho. |
