DDP looks back on working with Randy Savage.
Diamond Dallas Page and Randy Savage had an unforgettable rivalry in WCW. They had a heated feud in 1997, and Page scored a major win against Savage at WCW Spring Stampede 1997 that helped take DDP to the next level.
Speaking on his DDP's Gauntlet series, Diamond Dallas Page reflected on working with Savage. He noted that he "pissed blood" when Savage dropped elbows on him, which led to an issue between the two after he got knocked out.
"When Randy was dropping elbows on me and I pissed blood for 13 out of 16 weeks. My doctor was like, ‘You need to stop.’ ‘Not happening.’ I said Randy, ‘Hit me in my stomach or ribs.’ The next time, he came out with Scott Hall, it was [Great American Bash], he lands on my face. I’m out. I’m walking backstage. I stop and look at Kim, ‘Did I just wrestle?’ ‘Stop is Page, you’re scaring me.’ I go, ‘What the fuck. Is this Nitro? Did I just wrestle?’ ‘You just wrestled Savage.’ ‘What happened?’ Randy hit me with the belt, and he’s pretty snug, and then Scott hit me with his finish. They’re going, ‘Go home! Go home!’ As Randy hits me and covers me, Scott comes in to raise his hand, and I start to come off the ground. I go back down. For whatever reason, I sit back up, I come to my feet, stumble through the ropes, give them both the finger, and now we’re here. That is fighting in the back shit," DDP said.
Page then recalled how he had a confrontation with Savage in the locker room. He noted that he went to the hospital, as he had a concussion. Page then noted that Savage ultimately apologized to him backstage.
"I went in the locker room, I put a table in front of me, they kicked that door open mad as hell. [imitates barking]. I go, ‘You knocked me out, bro. I don’t remember anything.’ If they’re going to kick my ass, they’re going to kick my ass, let’s go for it. [imitates barking]. They both walk away. I start to feel something here [rubs cheek], and it turns into a golf ball, and as we’re going to the hospital, it turned into a softball. Next day, it’s still swollen as hell. The doctor is like, ‘It’s a serious concussion.’ I just put him over on the pay-per-view, I’m going over on Nitro, I’m going to do it. Like an idiot, but no one knew. I waited for [Savage] where everybody comes in at the back entrance. He comes in, he looks up at me because I’m sitting on one of those speakers. He goes, ‘Mmm, sorry brother,’ and walked off," DDP said.
