Former World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page spoke with Newsday.com about CM Punk mocking Chris Jericho for using DDP’s yoga program and saying it’s not “real” yoga. DDP says he’s not offended – CM Punk is right:
“He [Punk] said it’s not real yoga. Well, he’s right, it’s not. So, he [Punk] is saying that, and a lot of people thought it was a slap…. It was just to tick off Jericho for doing that.”
DDP says many of WWE’s top superstars have been using his yoga program, including The Miz, Daniel Bryan, Zack Ryder, Mick Foley, Kane and others. “These guys are out there getting better and getting stronger and healthier. So it [the publicity] is a win, win, win for the company, it’s a win, win, win for everybody.”
Regarding tonight’s WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Chris Jericho:
“Punk’s all wound up … and has 10 years less time in the ring than he [Jericho] has. Everybody’s trying to get this emotional fire up, because you want to see this fight. You want to see this explode. And it’s funny to me. But you don’t know what’s reality and what’s not. That’s where it comes alive. That’s why wrestling works.”
“I just know he [Jericho] wants to blow the roof off the place, but that’s what Punk wants, too. There’s a lot of great matches on this card. They’re all vying for the ‘steal the show’ spot. It’ll be interesting to see. I think this is one of the best WrestleManias. I’m looking forward to it.”
