During a podcast, Konnan talked about how some WCW wrestlers got upset when X-Pac was let go and showed their support by wearing WWE clothing on WCW TV. Some even went to the extent of displaying WWE shirts underneath their regular shirts in protest. The team spirit at WCW went down after X-Pac left, and Hogan received criticism for focusing on his own interests. X-Pac going back to WWE was seen as a big hit to WCW and played a part in their defeat during the Monday Night Wars.
