Sometime back, Diamond Dallas Page appeared in the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. He shared his infamous story of becoming a mega-star in WCW at 40+ years of age.
DDP said, “I’m the guy who wouldn’t be caught dead doing yoga the first 42 years of my life. I didn’t start wrestling till I was 35 and my career didn’t take off till I was 41. The bottom line is they said my career is over when I was 42. I started doing what is today known as DDPY. Less than 3 months Joe, I was back in the ring. At 42 they say my career is over, at 43 I’m the world champ and that’s like getting like the award Oscar.”
Page was an extremely hardworking wrestler in WCW. Once his managerial days were over in the company, he got in the ring. DDP was the oldest rookie at the WCW power plant, which was a training school for future WCW wrestlers.
DDP believes in pure work ethics and WWE inscribed his Hall of Fame ring from inside with the words, ‘Work ethic equals dream!’ – DDP. He credits all this success to his now known DDP Yoga.

There is someone like you who known would believe to ever be anyone could work so hard that they would become a world champion.”
