10 Great Matches From WCW's Final Year

3. Scott Steiner vs. DDP (Greed - March, 2001)

Greed was WCW last ever Pay-Per-View, and ended with an exciting Falls Count Anywhere battle between World Champion Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page. Of course, the gold was up for grabs, but the interesting story was the real-life animosity between both men, who had been involved in a genuine fight back stage previously. Nobody knew at the time that this would be the swansong for WCW on PPV, but both guys came out ready to put on a memorable bout, something they achieved. The fans were right into this one from the opening bell, and it was clear Steiner was incredibly over as the brash heel champion, mainly because he was a brash heel in real life! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5memo_greed-2001-scott-steiner-vs-ddp-wcw_sport Given the ending of the match, which had a bloodied Page passing out in the Steiner Recliner submission hold, as well as interference from Midajah and Rick Steiner, there was mileage in another title match between the pair, something which may have taken place at Spring Stampede the following month had WCW not been bought over before then.
