10 Big-Time Wrestling Debuts That Were Totally Wasted
10. DDP (WWF)
When: 18 June 2001 (Raw).
Why It Was A Waste: Might as well start with a biggie.
Diamond Dallas Page captivated WCW fans by opposing the nWo and presenting himself as an everyman "People's Champion" who battled the odds to become a pro wrestler in the first place. He was one of the company's most popular babyfaces for a reason, and must've been looking forward to defying expectations yet again in the WWF.
Page came crashing back down to earth with an almighty thump when he found out what Vinnie Mac and pals had in store for him though. They planned to turn him into a stalker - he was feuding with The Undertaker, sure, but only as a cowardly creep who apparently wanted 'Taker to kick his ass.
It didn't take long before this flopped, obviously. DDP was married to the smoking hot Kimberly at the time too, which only made the situation more egregious. Christ knows what the WWF's creative forces were thinking when they cobbled this together.
