The following are highlights of a new Not In Hall Of Fame interview with Diamond Dallas Page:
On possibly being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame: “I think at some point it will happen. Steve Austin said to me the other day ‘No one ever did it the way you did it at such a success level’. He said to me that he was waiting for me to go in, and when it happens it happens. I’m honoured that the CAC and National Wrestling Hall of Fame inducted me, and I would be honoured if the WWE put me in their Hall of Fame. I’m focused on what’s happening right now with DDP YOGA and last year to get to induct Jake and with Scott being inducted in the same year, and they both came out of my house, you know DDP’s Accountability Crib.”
On working with Hulk Hogan and receiving a phone call from Steve Austin asking how he got a good match out of him: “Yeah, he called me the next night. Me and him have always been tight. In 1997 and 1998 the number one pro wrestler in the world from Pro Wrestling Illustrated was Steve Austin. The number four wrestlers in both years was Diamond Dallas Page. So, surely, I was in the top ten. From nowhere to top ten. Obviously, the people who didn’t believe in me or were trying to hold me down were wrong. When I first became a wrestler at 35 people laughed. Michael P.S. Hayes fell down laughing. He also called me up in 1996 after a match up with Sting and said he was never happier to eat crow in his entire life.”
