10 WWE Stars Who Were TRULY Buried
7. Diamond Dallas Page
Somebody should have told Vince McMahon, and chief henchman The Undertaker, that the Monday Night War wasn't a *real* war, because they each seemed to believe that Diamond Dallas Page was some kind of evil invader, trapped behind enemy lines, that they had to bury alive.
He wasn't so much a luckless, captured soldier as a "contracted talent" whose primary function, ideally, was to "make Vince McMahon more money".
This was made impossible when McMahon sacrificed him to The Undertaker in a more ceremonial fashion than that of Mideon. Beyond the usual "He was from WCW and thus must be made unrecognisable and or humiliated" thing, which was probably the birdbrained mentality, there must have been something else about Page that inspired so much fury. Page made advances on 'Taker's then-wife, Sara, in accordance with the (f*cking s**t) storyline WWE dreamed up.
Did 'Taker have a bit of the old Randy Savage in him? Had he convinced himself, in a fit of jealousy, that he shoot wanted to bang her? Or did Page suffer because nobody told him how to feed a comeback, WWF style?
You know, the style in which WWE, the company with the stars who know how to work, demands its heels continually get up, as if impact has a magical, strange recuperative property and isn't something that normally hurts?
