#4. Diamond Dallas Page - One of the most disappointing WWE runs

Diamond Dallas Page was one of the biggest WCW stars to jump ship to WWE when the company purchased its rival in 2001. While DDP naturally hoped for a better run than what it happened, he was done no favors by debuting as the stalker of The Undertaker's wife.

It was a bad look all around, and he would go on to have a disappointing run with the company. Page suffered an injury in the summer of 2001 and returned with a new gimmick, where he was a motivational speaker. Things wouldn't go well for him and by early 2002, all the signs seemed to indicate that his run with the company would end soon.

DDP retained his European title at WrestleMania X8, and that would be his last moment of glory, as he suffered a career-ending injury in April 2002. He returned to wrestling, but never reached the heights that he did in WCW.

Reflecting on his WWE run over a decade later, Diamond Dallas Page said that he would have only continued with the company if they gave him a "People's Champion vs. People's Champion" match against The Rock.
