30 Surprising WWE Facts You Probably Didn't Know

After the purchase of WCW in 2001, Diamond Dallas Page - one of the homegrown stars of WWF’s competition - found himself signing a contract with the people he’d been at war with, and debuted on Monday Night RAW on June 18th, revealing himself to be the creepy heel who’d been stalking the Undertaker’s wife.

Sadly, Page’s contract was allowed to expire the following year when several nagging physical issues, his age and a neck injury combined to put him on the shelf: he only ever made it to one WrestleMania appearance, in a match against Christian at WrestleMania X8.

Or did he?

Actually, DDP had appeared a dozen years earlier at WrestleMania VI as well. The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine were teaming as Rhythm & Blues, and Page ended up driving them to the ring in his pink Cadillac.

Those were the days before he’d decided to become a wrestler: he’d tried out for an announcer’s position with the WWF and been turned down, but his flamboyant ride definitely caught their attention.
