Diamond Dallas Page is completely deserving of his forthcoming spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, but when you list the qualities and attributes of the performer and the man, his actual wrestling ability will come in fourth or fifth at best. The man was a true cult hero in a time where WCW stars were being sacrificed left right and centre, his post-wrestling career has seen him become something of a health messiah, and he started the RKO OUTTA NOWHERE shtick long before Randy Orton laced up a pair of boots.

Diamond Dallas Page was a decent wrestler who worked hard to become a very good wrestler, and a large part of his development took place during his famous rivalry with 'Macho Man' Randy Savage throughout 1997. The rivalry is recognised in WWE's list via the No Disqualification match that headlined Spring Stampede 1997.

The match is solid, but to call it 'must-see' is a stretch to say the least. This was DDP's first tentative steps into the upper region of the card, and in many ways he was lucky to do so at such a hot time for WCW. His main event performances subsequently did good financial numbers. This match between Page and Savage is fine and little else, though, the second best match on what was an overall wretched show.

The best match? Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Ultimo Dragon of course.
