The professional wrestling world is paying tribute to the two-time WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall. The tragic demise of Scott Hall has affected many people in the wrestling industry. This includes a very close friend of the WWE legend, X-Pac, aka Sean Waltman.
Today, X-Pac on Twitter shared a heartwarming story from their time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). In the 1990s, Waltman left the WWE to join The Kliq members, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash as Syxx in the WCW.

In addition, with the New World Order (nWo) members, X-Pac held the WCW World Tag Team Championship.
A beautiful friendship example of Scott Hall towards X-Pac!
When Sean Waltman returned to the ring in 1998, he had subsequently gotten involved with DX. But before that, his spell in the WCW was short-lived as he suffered a neck injury. X-Pac was at home while his friends, Scott Hall and the NWO members, carried him on wrestling programming.
He wore that shirt every week & had the rest of the nWo(Hulk,Dusty, Macho Man) always shout me out on live TV while I was out with a broken neck. Just one example of what a good friend he was. #RIPScottHall pic.twitter.com/eBCg7FoOH6

Many of you may not know which shirt X-Pac is talking about here. When X-Pac jumped ship to the WCW alongside Hall and Kevin Nash, as earlier mentioned, he was known as Syxx.
What exactly is the number 6 t-shirt?
Sean Waltman ‘Syxx’ was referred to as the number 6, and whenever he entered the ring, he would wear a ‘SyxxBall’ pool t-shirt. So when The 1-2-3 Kid was out for two years because of his neck injury, Hall would respect his teammate on WCW programming.
The former Intercontinental Champion, Scott Hall, wore the ‘SyxxBall’ pool t-shirt on behalf of Sean Waltman for almost two years. Whenever Hall appeared inside the ring, he would wear that t-shirt.

According to X-Pac, Razor Ramon also told the other members of the NWO to credit X-Pac in their promos. WWE legends Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Dusty Rhodes, and Randy Savage supported X-Pac during the WCW Monday Night Nitro. But this was only possible because of the words by the man himself, Scott Hall.
