10 Times WWE Wrestlers Stole Spotlight In Defeat
10. Christian (Vs. Diamond Dallas Page, WrestleMania X-8)
It was one of the all-time great pro wrestling temper tantrums. You can’t beat a good wig-out in defeat, and few were better than this. That it happened in an absolute nothing match that barely anyone remembers is beside the point. It happened, and it is worth remembering in all its glory.
Diamond Dallas Page and Christian fought over the WWE European Championship at WrestleMania X-8 in a match that was born out of Page’s new positivity, a mantra that had initially appealed to Christian until the former Brood man could no longer contain his frustration. DDP won the match, a six-minute thriller that approximately zero people remember.
The real story was the aftermath. DDP made it clear to Christian what had happened, and Christian reacted in kind. It was a WrestleMania-worthy tantrum, as the future Captain Charisma threw himself around the ring in a display of magnificent discontent. DDP’s WWE run was overshadowed at every turn, but nobody was too disappointed with this instance.
