Hats off to Diamond Dallas Page for a much-deserved entry into the WWE Hall of Fame.

DDP was known as one of the hardest-working wrestlers in the business, training to become a wrestler in his mid-30s and not achieving superstardom until his 40s. He became synonymous with WCW’s resistance to the nWo, and his feud with Randy “Macho Man” Savage was one of the best of 1997. He became a three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and held numerous other secondary titles in WCW and WWE.

But beyond the ring, Page embarked on a second career with DDP Yoga. He also helped resurrect Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Scott Hall, both of whom were deep into addiction before coming to Page.
