On the February 12, 2001, edition of World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) Monday Night RAW, Justin Credible, who was last seen under Vince McMahon as Aldo Montoya (and part-time jobber), returned from his successful run in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) to save X-Pac from a beatdown at the hands of Chris Jericho.
And "X-Factor" was born.
Theme song? "What 'Chu Lookin' At?" by Uncle Kracker. Finishing move? "X Marks the Spot" (Double superkick). Useless third wheel that creative had nothing for? "Albert."
The group had moderate success, but Credible joined "The Alliance" in July and the faction dissolved in October when X-Pac got injured and Albert teamed up with Scotty 2 Hotty.
See Credible's return on RAW, after the jump.
Any Cagesiders out there have fond memories of this short-lived faction? And did anyone else have a chuckle at watching Credible haul ass to the ring, only to have an inordinate amount of trouble getting himself into it?

Fuck that theme song
I hate it with a passion. But Justin Credible has always been a pretty cool guy to watch IMO

I am the only one that thinks Giant Bernard is a great name for him now?

horrible theme song gah I hated it
I was a big fan of Justin Credible when he was teamed with Lance Storm as the Impact Players, but this. Not so much. A-Train was/is awesome though.

Glad I stopped watching wrestling before this
I missed a lot of cool things, but the amount of crap I missed far outstrips the good.

Just because
Yo you dealin’ with the X-Factor!
I got everything I ever wanted,
And I’ll never give that back.
Well, I know you hate X-Factor, but you ain’t gotta look at me like that,
I said you ain’t gotta look at me like that.
What you lookin’ at?
What you lookin’ at?
What you lookin’ at?
What you lookin’ at?
You wanna rhyme pullin’ stunts like that,
See never in my life could I front like that,
I ain’t cut like that, I couldnt’ run like that,
I’ma keep it non-fiction and take my hat,
Uhhh, Remember back when things looked grim,
I spent a lot of money and time on whimps,
I remember the crew, Remember the good times,
Remember the orange and I’ll remember the sunshine,
It’s all gone that’s the thing of the past,
The fact remains that it moves real fast,
So while you sit around and hope things won’t change,
I’ll be sittin’ pretty singing Hey Pac Wait!
I gotta’ tell you baby, Life’s been good to me,
And I know that makes you mad ‘cause that’s something you can’t see.
I got everything I ever wanted,
And I’ll never give that back.

Yo hear me comin’ off of songs of redemption,
I’ve been a prass for rast and attaption,
I’ve got your extention, but I’ll probably never call,
I’m apalled by the things you done,
Left a trail of wrongs and can’t account for one,
I get done and I’m glad, but it’s a shame you waste it,
You want this so bad you can taste it!
Detroit love do you feel now!?
A stick can move can you feel now!?
I’m on a ride for the 2-triple-0,
Full flair your all american hero!
I gotta’ tell you baby, Life’s been good to me,
And I know that makes you mad ‘cause that’s something you can’t see.

They sucked
Justin Credible was just another of those of wrestlers of the late 90’s, early 00’s that decided a bad attitude coupled with jean shorts made you some sort of bad-ass.
I always felt that Paul Heyman did all but force feed the greatness of Mr. Credible down everyone’s throats in ECW and to no great surprise he didn’t do much outside of Philly.
I guess it’s better than wearing a jock strap on your face.
