7 Wrestlers Who Were ELITE Everywhere Except WWE

2. DDP

Diamond Dallas Page is one of life's good guys. It shines through in everything he has done since he left wrestling, and it sparkled all the way through his time in WCW. Coming into wrestling late in the game, Page always had something about him that made him feel relatable. There must be something in that New Jersey water, as DDP shared that Springsteen-esque ability to feel like a friend of the working-class fan.

His finest moments in WCW were amongst the best of their most glorious years. Hitting Scott Hall with a Diamond Cutter when it seemed like he was about to join the nWo sent the New Orleans crowd bananas, his Halloween Havoc match with Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in 1998 was the best of Bill's career, and not everyone can say they beat the 3 most popular superstars in company history in a single match. DDP can - he won the WCW Title in a Fatal-4-Way vs. Sting, Ric Flair and Hollywood Hogan at Spring Stampede '99.

Even as WCW floundered in the mud, Page remained brilliant. All of this makes it even more unforgivable that WWE brought him into the company with an angle that'd see him stalk The Undertaker's wife Sara in 2001. Then, when that flopped, creative eventually gave him a motivational speaker gimmick that painted him as a giant goof. 

Nobody knows what goes on in the mind of Vince McMahon, but this criminal underutilisation of Page's immense talent is one of the biggest blunders of the whole invasion saga.
