10 Wrestlers Who Quit WCW Over Angles
8. Kimberly Page - Flashing Scott Steiner
‘The Diamond Doll’ and leader of The Nitro Girls Kimberly Page turned heads in her entertaining run with WCW, but she would depart the company in June 2000 with ‘creative differences’ being the excuse given at the time.
There were unfounded rumours she left over an issue with Tammy Sytch and her ongoing drug issues, bu Kimberly has rebuffed those and spoken of how one angle in particular was the catalyst that instigated her exit. Lead writer Vince Russo was insisting she get more physically involved in storylines at the time, with Kimberly hesitating and not wanting to. One angle he proposed was for Kimberly to flash her breasts (which would be pixelated on TV) at ‘Big Poppa Pump’ Scott Steiner, who was breaking out as a main eventer under Russo’s watch. Kimberly rejected the idea, with Steiner confronting her backstage which led to a huge real-life fight between Steiner and Kimberly’s real life husband Diamond Dallas Page.
Steiner and DDP's fight left both damaged, with DDP’s face cut and Steiner’s eye swelling up. In the aftermath, Kimberly wasn’t seen on WCW TV again.
