Diamond Dallas Page, a self-made man, a guy who worked his ass off.

This show was always dedicated to the working man and the working woman out there,

and I wanted to focus specifically on a big part of

Dallas's career and I know Dallas it's a part of your career that you're very

very proud of it wasud of the year for 1997 with

Randy Macho Man Savage and this is a guy who I always wanted to work with in a long extended program at a high level and that never happened.

I did a J-O-B for Randy back in the day in Orlando when we were in W.C.W. doing those TV tapings down there and that just was what it was.

It was a quick job, but I had so much respect for the guy.

wisdom to you hooking up with Jake the Snake Roberts who would help your in ring style your

persona your psychology your promo all of a sudden you plow forward comes a time
