XPac TNA
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
XPac joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) upon leaving the WWF and began using the name Syxx-Pac, another play on previous stage names (partially because WWE still owns the name X-Pac). Waltman left TNA in November 2002 after Vince Russo (whom Waltman disliked) joined the promotion.
On TNA's first anniversary pay-per-view AJ Styles with Vince Russo was to team with a mystery partner against Jeff Jarrett and a returning Sting. Before annoucing the mystery opponent Russo described him as a "scumbag", a "degenerate", and a "scum of the Earth", he also said he was just like him. Russo then annouced the shocking return of Sean Waltman, "Syxx-Pac". Waltman and Styles lost the match.
Russo left TNA in November 2004, and Waltman returned to TNA on February 13, 2005 at Against All Odds, attacking Jeff Jarrett during his NWA World Heavyweight Championship match with Waltman's friend Kevin Nash. Nash, Waltman and Diamond Dallas Page formed an alliance against Planet Jarrett (Jarrett, The Outlaw and Monty Brown) which disbanded when Nash and Page left TNA to focus on their respective acting careers.
On June 19 at Slammiversary, Waltman took part in a six man King of the Mountain match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. In the course of the match, Waltman confronted the incumbent and defending champion, A.J. Styles. This eventually led to a match between Styles and Waltman at No Surrender 2005 on July 17, which Styles won after guest referee Jerry Lynn prevented Waltman from cheating. Waltman confronted Lynn the following week on iMPACT!, and later challenged his former partner to a match at Sacrifice on August 14. After Lynn won the match with a victory roll, Waltman attacked him and endeavoured to reinjure his shoulder. After Sacrifice, Waltman was partnered with Alex Shelley and together they won the 2005 Chris Candido Cup. As a result of their tournament victory, Waltman and Shelley received a shot at the NWA World Tag Team Championships on September 11 at TNA Unbreakable. At Unbreakable, Waltman was announced as having no-showed the event. He was subsequently not heard from until September 19, when he was reported to have contacted a family member in Florida. Waltman made two appearances for Full Impact Pro in October 2005, defeating Jimmy Rave on October 7 and teaming with Azrieal to lose to Rave and Austin Aries the following night.
Waltman made a surprise return to TNA on January 15, 2006 at TNA Final Resolution 2006, defeating Raven. Sean Waltman has confirmed that TNA has discontinued using him.
Sean Waltman also wrestled for XPW, during its dying days in late 2002 and early 2003. He first went by the name "Pac" and then later, "X". He also won the XPW Television Title. On April 2006, Waltman was released from his contract
