Not only was Randy Savage's feud with Diamond Dallas Page great in its own right, but it was also the pivotal rivalry that made DDP a top star in WCW.

At the time in 1997, Savage was a member of the nWo, and Page was on the cusp of emerging from being a perpetual mid-card talent. But it was the feud with Savage that leveled DDP up the ladder for good.

DDP credits Randy Savage for helping his career more than anyone

In fact, when Randy Savage elected to eat a Diamond Cutter and take a pinfall loss in the first of a series of matches, it cemented DDP as a main event level player. Not many people in WCW could lay claim to beating Savage clean in the middle of the ring at that time.

The rivalry between Savage and Page would spawn three pay-per-view matches in WCW in 1997, including a Las Vegas Sudden Death Match at Halloween Havoc. The feud went over so well that it won Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s award for Feud of the Year.
