Diamond Dallas Page is known to WWE and wrestling fans as one of the finest human beings to ever enter the business. It's hard to make it in the wrestling business, but to enter at the age of 35 and proceed to become a World Champion is something unheard of.

DDP had an unusual career trajectory, but the former WCW World Champion's run in WWE between 2001-2002 was underwhelming, to say the least. DDP himself admitted later on that he had a lot of regrets about the WWE run - starting from the stalker gimmick involving The Undertaker.

The idea he had in mind was a "People's Champion vs People's Champion" feud against The Rock - which in hindsight, would have been a big-money deal. He said that if he could go back in time, he would have walked away after WWE refused the idea. He would have a short run in WWE before suffering an injury that forced him into retirement.
