1 amazing fact about 5 members of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2017

#4 WWE said DDP couldn’t work through run with the company

Before they put him in the Hall of Fame, WWE had a poor opinion of Diamond Dallas Page

DDP was one of the biggest stars in WCW during the Monday Night Wars and probably the best worker in the entire wrestling promotion, with the exception of the Cruiserweights. However, when he chose to come into WWE for only a fraction of the money that he had been making in WCW, there was enormous resentment from the entire roster.

Dave Meltzer recently said that he frequently heard sources in WWE say things like ‘DDP can't work’ or ‘DDP sucks’. Moreover, even though he was a huge star under Eric Bischoff, WWE did not renew his contract after the one year period was up. Meltzer was surprised that a company that buried him so badly would put him in their Hall of Fame in 2017.
