Wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page joined\u00a0Doug Mortman and Dave Lagreca on this week’s\u00a0Busted Open<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0radio show, which you can hear on satellite radio on\u00a0SiriusXM Channel 92. Here are some highlights of what he said about:<\/p>\n

If The Ultimate Warrior is a Hall of Famer:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAre you kidding me? Abso-f**king-lutely. I mean you have to look at how guys drew. And there are fans that don\u2019t like the Warrior. There are plenty of fans that don\u2019t like Diamond Dallas Page. I get that. And the people who don\u2019t like him, really don\u2019t like him. But the people who love the Warrior; they f**king love the Warrior. And that was really obvious when we did in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia\u2013they can be the most critical fans on the planet. Me and\u00a0Jake Roberts\u00a0we smoked through autographs while we were there for those couple of days, but Warrior and Hogan came in and were doing the 100 to 150 dollar autograph thing and that line went out\u00a0the door\u00a0all day long. So you say what you want about Warrior, but the cat is true. He brought his energy. He brought a dynamic to wrestling at that time that was original. And I wasn\u2019t a big fan of his interviews but people fricking loved them! People loved that guy. I was a\u00a0Jake Roberts\u00a0guy back in the \u201880\u2019s, so I skate more that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

His thoughts on Warrior going in before\u00a0Jake Roberts\u00a0& Randy Savage:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWell I think in Randy\u2019s case, I think Randy he was pissed. I don\u2019t think he really wanted to go in. That\u2019s just my observation from a far. I never heard that from Randy but I\u2019m sure now that the great Randy Savage has passed on, at some point he will be put in there. But I think there was\u2013you have to accept. You have to go there and show up. And there was some heat there. And I think it was just about to get fixed too, just like the Warrior had a lot of heat there. I think he absolutely would\u2019ve gone in. Maybe this year cause Randy was just coming out\u2013when he died, Randy was just starting to come out. About to do a comic-con and stuff; do some autograph signings and stuff. So I think you would have seen him in there. Right after; not too long after his death, I don\u2019t think it had to happen right away but I would imagine that Randy will be in there. And I believe that\u00a0Jake Roberts\u00a0will get in. I think I\u2019ll get in. I think there will be a lot of guys that will get in there from Kevin Nash, Scott Hall. I think a lot of those guys will get in. Sometimes it just takes time and I think that Jake doing his turn around that he\u2019s done over these last 16-17 months\u2013or 16 months I think it is\u2013people are buzzing everywhere about Jake. So I think at some point, it would be awesome if it was this year but who knows? You never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

His thoughts on his involvement with helping\u00a0Jake Roberts\u00a0change:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWell you know Jake put all the work in. Jake was at my house today cause he doesn\u2019t know if he\u2019s going to get that call for Rumble. But you know what if he gets it; he\u2019s gonna be ready. If he doesn\u2019t get it, he\u2019ll still be ready. And Jake worked his skin off\u2013he had the flu bad too the last four days. And he came to work out today and I\u2019m like Jake you can come tomorrow and he\u2019s like nope, let\u2019s go. We did about an hour; Jake lasted about 46 minutes. I was proud of him that he fought through it and he\u2019s really done an amazing turn around. And he\u2019s had some serious adversities. When people get a chance to see what we have; the footage that we have for The Resurrection of Jake The Snake. I\u2019ve been doing this documentary for close to 15 or 16 months now. You know that right? We\u2019ve been documenting everything. We put pieces up on DDP TV, if anybody wants to see the trailer that we have for The Resurrection of Jake The Snake. We did that the first three months. We\u2019re about to open up with another one of Jake\u2019s that is coming up right around in the next couple of weeks. And it will really\u2013it\u2019ll give you goosebumps. And there is so much\u2013my guys; I got five guys working. I\u2019m a production company more than anything now. DDP yoga is the center piece but everything is happening around from Scott Hall to Cody Hall, who was rookie of the year according to (Dave) Meltzer\u2019s sheet. I didn\u2019t see that but that\u2019s legitimate as it gets. But Cody got out there because of DDP TV and what we put out there with him and Scott and everything. It\u2019s just been awesome. I got my editors; I\u2019ve got five of them. And there\u2019s two guys that are new and they\u2019re going through our footage like oh my god I can\u2019t believe you have this. This is going to be a completely different movie than Beyond The Mat. This is about the resurrection of a legend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doing DDP Yoga on WWE TV:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWell I got to say first of all; no one and I repeat no one puts anything on Vince McMahon\u2019s TV without his okay. And I\u2019ve had people say to me so what do you think about Vince McMahon trying to ruin your career with the whole stalker thing, blah, blah, blah. Over the years, right? Anything that anyone thought cause I made a lot of those decisions myself and they were stupid decisions by me. Anyone who ever thinks that there has ever been anything between Vince and me or whatever and I\u2019ve always told everyone; no, there\u2019s not. What Vince did for me two Monday\u2019s ago with DDP Yoga was\u2013he couldn\u2019t have given me a better angle. He couldn\u2019t have given me a better spot. He let me go on there for a minute and a half. It was written into the copy! They gave it to me. I didn\u2019t pick up the DVD\u2019s and do that. That was written for me. \u201cWear your shirt.\u201d Hunter told me do the foot over the head, that always blows people away. You know I was like okay! I expected to be in something but I didn\u2019t expect it to be what it was. And to have Booker T involved too, who is one of my good buddies. Cause he\u2019s the one guy from WCW who really got over. He\u2019s a five time World Champion and he got the strap there. So bottom line is to be able to do it with him and then have Ron (Simmons) come out; it was just\u2013we did so many takes of it, every one was funnier than the next. I had liked the last one the best but there were other ones that were laugh your ass off funny. And we just had a blast. And Ron said (DDP imitating his voice), \u201cMan, Diamond they\u2019re really working you today. This one\u2019s gonna be a shameless plug but you working for that s**t today\u2026DAMN.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
