Former three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion "Diamond" Dallas Page recently spoke to The Sports Vision. Here are some highlights from the interview, as well as the full audio:
His thoughts on Jake Roberts: āJake was the greatest. I think A-Z, Ric Flair you got to put up there, Shawn Michaels may be the greatest ever as far as all the technical and everything together, but to me Jake was the guy. Because just the way he did everything, from his promos to his work in the ring, I mean everything he did out there meant something.ā
On starting his career in his 30s: āThey didnāt believe in me. Itās understandable how they wouldnāt believe in me when I came back from my rotator cuff at 37, 38. But they really didnāt understand my work ethic. They didnāt really realize that I was gonna be one of the best in the business until I was. It was really good that they held me down the way they did, because if it was given too early I never wouldāve been able to do and have the matches that I had. It never wouldāve happened.ā
On Chris Jericho using his DDP Yoga system: āJericho, four years ago, blew his back out. He was done. I sent him the video of the disabled vet, Arthur Boorman, he called me back five minutes later and he said, āYou tell me what to do and Iāll do it.ā And thatās how Chris Jerichoās journey towards getting back in the ring started. Five weeks later of doing DDP Yoga, he was 85% pain free, he called me up, he was like, āDude Iām addicted to thisāā¦ Three months later after doing the program, he was 100% pain free and headlined with Punk at WrestleMania.ā
On his time on WCW: āOf course I did [enjoy my time in WCW.] Was it agonizing at times and stressful? Hell yeah. But I lived a dream on a different level. The people who are bitter because things didnāt go exactly their wayā¦ I donāt think things went exactly my way when I went to the WWE, did it? Do you hear me bāhing about it?ā
