In a recent interview with Total Wrestling Magazine, former WWE and WCW superstar Diamond Dallas Page discussed his run with World Wrestling Entertainment (2001-02) and whether he watches the product today.
He was very negative when it came to the title runs he had in WWE, though.
His thoughts on his WWE run: “I didn’t have the run I should have had in WWE, but that’s ok, I had a great run in WCW. I lived the dream, and it was great fun. In WWE, I got the European Title, Tag-Team Titles, sure, but they didn’t mean anything to me. There was too much heat on the WCW guys at that time, they were seen as the enemy, we almost put the WWE out of business.”
Who he enjoys watching in WWE currently: “I love to watch Randy Orton. I love that we have a similar finish, he is one of the top guys in the world, if not the guy. I’m a big Bray Wyatt fan too, I love his look, his promos, his energy.”
How Jake Roberts is doing now: “Jake’s not quite 100%, he still has a bit of pneumonia in his system. He isn’t close to dying or anything, but he isn’t a kid anymore, he’s close to 60. He’s just concentrating on getting better.”
Editor’s Note
He makes a fair point. DDP was one of WCW’s biggest stars at the time, yet WWE didn’t treat him as such upon his arrival. It is what it is, I suppose.
