6. Was DDP Supposed To Break Goldberg’s Undefeated Streak In WCW?
During a recent appearance on The Tomorrow Show, former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page talked about his match with Goldberg in WCW, being in the ring with Brock Lesnar & more. Below are the highlights:
Dusty Rhodes suggesting to Eric Bischoff that DDP end Goldberg’s streak before their match at Halloween Havoc ’98:
“I never asked Bischoff this question, it was just recently in the last year or two that I heard it before Dusty died. But he said that because Goldberg was about to come out on Entertainment Weekly and the T.V. Guide and all that wearing the belt and he didn’t want to confuse the people. To me, if I’m the booker I’m thinking ya beat him, kill that streak and then beat him [DDP] back the next night… let’s see him go at it again tomorrow night.”
What a 46 year old DDP whispered to a 23 year old Brock Lesnar in the ring:
“I am the first named superstar that Brock slid in and hit with his thing. Now he’s 23, I get done with my match, he slides in, boy’s gonna hit me with the sidewalk slam and decides to hit me with the F5. Now I’m looking at that beast and after we get done with what we’re told what we’re going to do, I went ‘Brock, 23, 46, 23, 46.’ He goes, ‘c’mon D, I’m not going to hurt you out there,’ and I go ‘veteran, legend, old man.’ When he hit me with the sidewalk slam, he took so, unlike when Randy hit me with the elbow, he took so much of it, I was like ‘wow, that was kind of sweet.’ That’s what I said to him!”
Only a WrestleMania match would get DDP out of retirement:
“If they asked me to come back to WrestleMania again, I would go crazy doing it.”
