From baddest women on the planet, turning fans into the maddest, to one of the most beloved baby faces ever, just not being what the people wanted at that moment in time.

This bunch of talented performers were all turned on by those who once cheered their names.

Ah, life comes at you fast. I'm Gareth, this is What Culture Wrestling, and here are 25 great wrestlers that everybody turned against.

Number 25, X-Pack.

The attitude era moved at a frightening pace, people, driven like everything else, by rampant competitive capitalism.

Monday Night Raw's job in 1997 and 1998 was to catch up with,

keep pace with, and ultimately overtake WCW Monday Nitro in a ratings battle that temporarily

benefited both sides. By 1999, the gap widened to such a degree that the end result was never really in doubt.

And WWE took a while to adjust to a world that wasn't driven primarily by combat against the other side.

Before Vince McMahon even purchased WCW, Sean Waltman was one of the biggest victims of the aforementioned war.

Having returned to the company with a bilious

promo at Eric Bischoff's expense following an acrimonious WCW exit, X-PAC's Man of the People

aura was the driving force behind Degeneration X's babyface turn. His matches, meanwhile, were

carrying mid-cards, as the market leader tried to make the best of a relatively shallow talent pool.

For all the right reasons, he was beloved.

Within a year of that, though, DX had split and splintered, leaving X-Pack and Road Dog as the loser babyface outliers in the divorce.

A reunion as heels in late 1999 temporarily solved the

problem, but when that fritted away in 2000, the same two could not buy reactions for their

work on a roster that included the likes of Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and the Radicals. Ambivalence

messed with anger to form a mulch of a reaction known then and in subsequent years as ex-pack heat.

There was nothing more brutal for a wrestler than being only mildly over when everybody else was white-hot.

And the former human litmus test unfairly became a barometer of a different kind.
