Sean Waltman, better known as WWE Hall of Famer X-Pac, announced back in late 2020 that he would be looking into one last run as an active pro wrestler after being cured of Hepatitis C and successfully undergoing knee surgery. He explained at the time on X-Pac 1,2,360, “I had hepatitis C for a long time. I tested positive for it when I came back to TNA. After that, I couldn’t get cleared in certain states with athletic commissions, so TNA and WWE couldn’t really have me in matches. I would just do little matches, nothing serious, no blood or anything. Now I’m cured, everyone. Just this year. I hadn’t mentioned it publicly. It cost $100,000 for treatment. It’s $1,000 a pill, one pill every day. I feel great. Some people are going, ‘How come he never came back?’ That’s the reason.
