Page achieved a degree of fame throughout the 1990s and early 2000s as a professional wrestler, competing under the ring name Diamond Dallas Page (often abbreviated to "DDP").

Early Years Page's first wrestling appearance was in Canada in 1979 as Handsome Dallas Page. Shortly thereafter, he gave up wrestling. His next notable appearance was not until WrestleMania VI, where he drove The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine to the ring in his pink Cadillac. At this time, he was virtually unknown in the WWF and claims to not have been paid for the event, fondly recalling it on the WrestleMania XIX DVD.

Page returned to WCW TV in 1994, with his wife, the Diamond Doll Kimberly and got a bodyguard, Maxx Muscle.

At Fall Brawl 1995, Page won his first championship when he defeated Renegade for the WCW Television title. In the build-up to his first title defense at the Halloween Havoc PPV, there was growing dissension between Page and Kimberly. Johnny B.

Page's career really took off in 1997. As part of the popular nWo storyline, Page began one of WCW's most highly acclaimed feuds of '97 with the nWo's "Macho Man" Randy Savage. On an episode of WCW Monday Nitro, Savage, aided by fellow nWo members Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, attacked DDP and spray-painted "nWo" on his back. A few weeks later at the WCW pay-per-view Uncensored, Savage and Miss Elizabeth "broke kayfabe" (a worked shoot) by revealing to the world that Page and Nitro Girl Kimberly were, in fact, married. Savage then proceeded to beat up Page, ensuring a future match between the two. In professional wrestling, an angle is a fictional storyline. ...

At the 1997 Spring Stampede, Page and Savage battled in a memorable match where Page emerged victorious, but it was the not the end of conflict between the two. A few months later at The Great American Bash, they squared off again in an anything goes, lights out match what was dubbed "Savage-Page II." This match was far more brutal than their first encounter, and ended with Savage defeating Page with help from (then) Tag Team Champion Scott Hall. Savage and Page would continue their rivalry from there on. Page even dressed up as masked wrestler La Parka and beat Savage.

Around this time, Page also started fighting nWo leader, Hulk Hogan. Page and Savage battled for the last time at Halloween Havoc. The match was billed as a Las Vegas Sudden Death Match, where anything goes and the only way to win was to beat your opponent so brutally, he could not get to his feet by a count of ten. The match ended when Hogan, dressed as Sting, came out and hit Page with a baseball bat in his already "injured" mid-section, resulting in Savage picking up the win. During this time and for several months after, Page would have his mid-section taped up as he performed.

In 1998, at Uncensored, Page took on Chris Benoit and Raven in a triple-threat, falls-count-anywhere contest for his US title, putting Raven through a table with a Diamond Cutter to retain the belt. Classic matches, such as the aforementioned triple-threat match, and his walks through the crowd before and after matches solidified Page's reputation as the "People's Champion," a nickname he shared with The Rock; although, DDP was a face in WCW and was the willing People's Champion, while the Rock was a heel in the WWF and called himself the People's Champion in order to disparage the crowd. It is unclear which wrestler was first referred to as the People's Champion, but the Rock undoubtedly ran further with the title, referring to almost everything as "The People's..." (including the entrance ramp as "The People's ramp" and his signature move, "The People's Elbow"). During much of this era, Page was also frequently called "the hardest working man in the business" by commentators and other WCW figures.

At Fall Brawl 1998, Page won the WarGames main event, and got a World title shot against the undefeated Goldberg at Halloween Havoc. Page did not win the match, but his presence in the World title scene was now certified. Satellite difficulties prevented many viewers from seeing much of the highly anticipated World Championship match, so it was re-aired the following night during Nitro. Despite this setback, it was also voted "Match of the Year" in WCW Magazine. Page finally became World Champion in April 1999, at Spring Stampede when he defeated Sting, Hogan, and Ric Flair in a 4-way dance for the title, Page pinned Ric Flair after giving Flair the Diamond Cutter. This match was ironic for Page, as it featured Randy Savage as the special-guest referee and also saw Hogan eliminated early when Page seriously damaged Hogan's leg with a submission hold.

Page was finally champion, and being champion changed him. Though, all the pressure got to him and he almost resorted to killing himself with yeast-infected tampons. During his first promo as champion, because of what he perceived to have been an unappreciative crowd reaction, he would refer to the crowd as "a bunch of jackoffs" even though in reality he was receiving a positive reaction. Shortly after gaining the title, Page wrestled Goldberg for his championship. Page turned heel during the match, using everything at his disposal to try and beat down Goldberg (the match eventually ended in a no contest). Throughout the rest of his reign as champion, Page resorted to underhanded tactics to keep his championship.
His first reign as champion lasted all of 15 days. On April 26, 1999, Page was defeated for the World Championship by Sting on WCW Monday Nitro but regained it a little over an hour and a half later during a four way match the same night (thanks to a match set up by a returning Kevin Nash, who challenged Sting, Goldberg, and Page for the title). Page hit Nash with a foreign object to regain the title without actually defeating the reigning champion. Page was defeated by Nash at Slamboree that year, and fell out of the World title picture shortly thereafter.

In 2000, with WCW under new control, Page (who had returned to facedom) earned a shot at the vacant World Championship. He would get his shot at Spring Stampede, the same event where one year prior he won the title for the very first time. His opponent would be ex-nWo member, Jeff Jarrett. In a surprise twist, Page's wife Kimberly turned on Page and helped Jarrett become the new World Champion. This also led to Kimberly forcing an unconscious Page to sign divorce papers.

Page would get the better of Jarrett on an episode of Nitro in May, but, in a tag team match against Jarrett and Eric Bischoff in which the belt could change hands, Page would lose the title to his very own tag partner, movie star David Arquette. Page and Jarrett met Arquette in a rematch at the Slamboree PPV in the first triple cage match, but Arquette, who had vowed to stay out of the match and support DDP and help him regain the title, betrayed Page, allowing Jarrett to regain the gold once more. The angle was poorly viewed by fans as one of WCW's biggest mistakes.

Page took some time off shortly after this, but returned in late 2000 as a full time wrestler. He was eventually involved in a real-life fist fight backstage with Scott Steiner, after Steiner did a shoot on Page moments earlier on Nitro. DDP hid behind the curtain and sucker punched Steiner as he entered the backstage area. Steiner then attacked DDP and eventually got the better of him. At the end of the fight, because Page could still move under his own power, he mocked Steiner by yelling at him "I'm still standing!". And much like many of the negative real life issues that encircled the WCW employees in this era, it was turned into an on-camera angle. Even the mocking statement Page made during their altercation was turned into his new catchphrase. Their feud hit a climax at WCW's final PPV in their history, WCW Greed, which saw Page's final match in WCW and a semi-burial type defeat as he passed out in Steiner's finisher, The Steiner Recliner, and was never seen or referred to on WCW television after the match.

World Wrestling Federation (2001–2002) When WCW was purchased by WWF owner Vince McMahon in 2001, Page was one of the few major WCW stars to sign with McMahon. Despite this, he ended up being involved in what many fans considered to be bad storylines, and this led to him being voted WWF Magazine's "Most Misused Talent" of 2001. Page went from the People's Champion (in WCW) to crazed stalker, to a self-help guru in less than a year. He became known for his catchphrase "It's me, it's me, it's DDP," during this time.

Page was originally brought in as the man revealed to be the stalker of Undertaker's wife, Sara. He was the first WCW wrestler brought in as a heel (a little before the Invasion storyline began) and eventually paved the way for the entire WCW roster to turn heel as well. The angle began as him stalking Sara as a way to get The Undertaker's attention, because he believed he could get respect in the WWF by challenging and defeating him. The storyline with Undertaker did little except injure Page's credibility though, being destroyed by the Undertaker in several in-ring encounters. The blow-off of the feud saw Page pinned by Sara herself. Mark Calaway (born March 24, 1965[2]) is an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name, The Undertaker. ...

In early 2002, Page became the oldest European Champion in WWE history. At WrestleMania X8, he defeated Christian, a former follower of his positive "philosophy" and retained the title. Despite the moderate amount of success the character was met with, the new "Positively Page" gimmick left a sour taste amongst longtime fans of his, who fondly remembered Page for his furious battles with the nWo and his rough edged character.

Page received an NWA World Heavyweight Championship title shot on March 13, 2005 at TNA Destination X 2005 but was defeated by reigning champion Jeff Jarrett. He remained with the company until May, 2005, at which point he left TNA over the booking of a tag match involving himself, and what the finish of the match would be. Page was booked to lose cleanly to Monty Brown during a tag match and Page initially refused to do so. Eventually, Page agreed to job but only if he were allowed to use his Diamond Cutter on his opponents and that two wrestlers would interfere during the match. This scenario became the result, but it led to a lot of resentment towards Page over his extreme reluctance to do a clean job and help elevate Brown.
