Sean Waltman Recalls Suicide Attempt, Sexual Abuse and More

Posted By: WrestlingNewsSource.com on Jan 23, 2011

Former WWE and TNA Superstar Sean Waltman better known to some as X-Pac took part in a very candid interview with the The Miami Herald in which he went into details of how he hit rock bottom and almost committed suicide four years ago. He recalled:

“I got in a heated argument that turned into physicality with my girlfriend [Alicia Webb]. I ended up striking her back. I always told myself that I would die before I would hit a woman. So when I did that, I was overcome with guilt and shame. I had no tools to handle it. The only thing I could think of was take a whole bottle of Valium or what was left of the bottle. It was probably around 400 milligrams of Valium.

“I hung myself from the roof of my apartment. It was the darkest moment of my life, or one of them, to get me to do that. It was a lot of build up that I didn’t know how to deal with.”

Webb, known to wrestling fans as Ryan Shamrock or Symphony, found Waltman.

“I was dead,” said Waltman.
