History Awesome / DiamondDallasPage

* In Wrestling/{{WCW}}, [[https://youtu.be/kAdTBa3HBL0 his title match]] against {{Wrestling/Goldberg}}. While he wound up losing, it was the first time Goldberg had shown ''any'' [[WrestlingMonster signs of vulnerability]], and reversing [[FinishingMove the Jackhammer into a Diamond Cutter]] had the crowd going nuts. It was one of the few matches you'll ever see where the crowd wants ''both'' wrestlers to win.

* Just the work he has been doing with [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake The Snake]] and Wrestling/ScottHall. Both were so sick they were as good as dead. He took them both into his place, trained them, took care of them, even put up the Website/IndieGogo projects to pay for their surgeries. Two of the saddest drug-addiction stories in pro-wrestling, and he made them both turn a new [[{{Pun}} page]].

* On episode 4 of ''[[Wrestling/{{AEW}} AEW Dynamite]]'', Cody is outnumbered 4 to 1 trying to confront the Wrestling/InnerCircle, but then [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Dustin's]] music hits, and the crowd pops, but it's still 2 on 4. Then Wrestling/{{MJF}}'s music hits, and the crowd pops. Then... ''"[[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound It's me. It's D. D. P.]]"'' and the crowd ''explodes'', on their feet, doing the Diamond Cutter, and cheer even ''louder'' the moment he steps out. The man is retired nearly 20 years and is probably the oldest person in the building, and he ''still'' receives a [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]]-level welcome.

** Let's put it this way: You know Jake's stunning return to WWE on Old School Raw on January 6, 2014? That doesn't happen without DDP.

* DDP and Wrestling/RandySavage had been feuding for a good portion of 1997, thanks to Savage being in the [=nWo=] and Page outright refusing to join the group. Page would resort to trickery at times, but Savage and the [=nWo=] were always prepared... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY0tLQdormw except for one]] ''Nitro''. Savage was wrestling the masked ''luchador'' Wrestling/LaParka, and it seemed like it would be an easy win for him, so the [=nWo=] members he came to the ring with went to the announcers' table to start harassing Larry Zybysko. When they were distracted, "La Parka" hit a [[FinishingMove Diamond Cutter]] on Savage and ripped off his mask to reveal that he was, in fact, Page in disguise - this earned him a '''huge''' pop from the crowd. Page picked up the three count and escaped through the audience before the other [=nWo=] members could get to him, gloating with the fans.

* In a way, the fact that he was able to write a tell-all autobiography despite have suffered from dyslexia as a child to the point where he was actually afraid of reading is certainly worthy of praise.
