Speaking
to The Sun, Diamond Dallas Page says he has no regrets over the failed
2001 angle that saw him play a stalker who creepily tracked The
Undertaker's wife.
"It's amazing to me how many people it
bothered. They knew that I was a top guy and they didn't use me
correctly, but I agreed to it originally and that was a mistake," Page
says.
"Vince and Shane McMahon told me coming in that they had
this great idea and I was going to be working with their number one
babyface. I didn't really like it because it was about me stalking
someone else's wife. I would look across the table at Kim [Page's
ex-wife, who posed for Playboy] and nobody could compare. It was
ridiculous, it took out the believability factor."
He
continues, "I get fans telling me they were upset with how WWE treated
me but I say, 'Dude, let it go!' I already achieved everything I ever
dreamed of."
After retiring from the squared circle, Page
developed the wildly successful Yoga for Regular Guys Workout. The
three-time World Heavyweight Champion says he recently cut a marketing
and distribution deal with Warner Brothers that "would blow your mind."
"But I'm only smart enough to cut that deal because I dropped the ball
with WWE when I came in," Page adds. "I dropped it, I don't blame Vince.
I've got a lot of respect for Vince and everything he has done for the
business.
"There are so many guys that have negative, bad
feelings after they retire. You've heard them. I'm not living that as I
lived a dream on so many different levels."
