– During a recent interview with The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) discussed the help he provided in the lives of fellow WWE Hall of Famers Jake Roberts and the late Scott Hall. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
DDP on his past work with the late Scott Hall and Jake Roberts: “Thank God we got another extra 10 years with Scott. And Jake? Neither one of those guys would ever have gotten into the Hall of Fame if God didn’t put me on this path.”
On the role Jake Roberts played in his life: “Without Jake Roberts, there’s no three-time world champ or Hall of Famer without both of those guys – both of guys were so huge in my life, and I wanted to help Jake forever, but he was never ready until that day.”
On Jake Roberts reuniting with his family: “He’s back with his second wife, who he had four kids with, Cheryl, who you would remember from Rick Rude and Jake Roberts, and Cheryl slapping the hell out of him! They’re back together, and so in love…”
Scott Hall passed away nearly two years ago in March 2022.
