Diamond Dallas Page has been announced as the latest member of the WWE Hall of Fame. The news was first reported by Rolling Stone.

Page was a 3-time WCW Champion and was one of the company’s top home grown stars during the Monday Night Wars. He later had a brief stint in WWE during the Invasion angle and held the now defunct European Championship. After his in ring career, DDP founded DDP Yoga, a health and wellness program that has transformed the lives of countless people, including WWE Hall of Famers Jake Roberts and Scott Hall.

DDP spoke with Rolling Stone about the induction and revealed that Triple H told broke the news to him back in October.

“We were filming Positively Living, the Diamond Dallas Page three-DVD set. I’m a Jersey boy, so I was on the Jersey Shore in my hometown, and it was the end of the day and we were filming one more thing. They handed me the phone and said, “Boss wants to talk to you.” It’s HHH.

I called him a couple weeks earlier and he hadn’t gotten back to me yet, so I thought this was that return call. So we’re talking about casual stuff, and then I start to hear him talk about my career and where I’ve been and how I got here, and then it hits me – is this that call? I’m not a guy who has trouble talking, but I couldn’t talk. Tears are running down the sides of my cheeks and I just said, ‘Bro, I love you man.’”

DDP joins Teddy Long, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express and headliner Kurt Angle as confirmed inductees for this year.
