World Championship Wrestling Page trained to wrestle in 1991 in World Championship Wrestling and debuted as a tag team with Diamond Studd called the "Diamond Exchange." They feuded with the Fabulous Freebirds, Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin. In 1992, he teamed with Vinnie Vegas as the "Vegas Connection." He started to make a name for himself as a heel when he brought his wife, Kimberly, to be his Diamond Doll and got a bodyguard, Maxx Muscle, in 1994. He had open arm wrestling challenges to win Kimberly but Maxx always helped him win or arm wrestled for him. He eventually went into debt and then took Kimberly's $13 million lottery winnings. He had a long feud with Dave Sullivan because Dave gave Kimberly gifts and then he and Maxx cheated to win the WCW TV Title. Kimberly did not like his cheating, so Johnny B. Badd decided to free her of Page and won her freedom at World War 3 on November 26, 1995. He had won the TV Title from Page in October. On May 19, 1996 Page participated in the Lord of the Ring Tournament (Battle Bowl) at Slamboree. The winner was to be the number one contender for the World Title which at that time was held by the Giant. Page was victorious when he defeated the Barbarian with two Diamond Cutters. However he never reveived the title shot that he earned that night. Page was feuding with Eddie Guerrero when the nWo was formed. Since Nash & Hall were both former partners, they began assisting him in his matches in the tournement being held for the vacant US Title. Seeing that their help was not being appreciated, Hall and Nash turned up the heat on Page by attacking him during the tournament finals, therefore handing the belt to Guerrero. After demonstrating benefits of nWo, they asked him to join. He responded with Diamond Cutters to them, starting a face turn and a feud with the nWo. 1991 (MCMXCI) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

A few months later at The Great American Bash, they squared off again in 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 Hollywood Hogan. Page and Savage battled for the last time at Halloween Havoc. Again, it was "weapons" match, and the two put on another excellent show. The match ended when Hogan, dressed as Sting, came out and hit Page with a baseball bat. Page won by DQ.

Page would eventually switch gimmicks and become a pseudo-motivational speaker, in what would come to be known as his "Positively Page" character.

In early 2002, Page became the European Champion. At WrestleMania X8, he defeated Christian, a former follower of his positive "philosophy" and retained the title.

Legacy Diamond Dallas Page was one of the few WCW wrestlers to have made a name for himself in WCW, as the likes of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage had made their names in the WWF. Page was the first People's Champion, and reflected the type of character wrestling fans had come to adore during the nWo/WWF Attitude Era.
Page's character felt real, and fans loved his brash, trash-talking attitude, which, along with his skill in the ring, earned him the respect—and diamond hand symbols—of many. Page's brief stay in the WWF has been seen by some as poorly managed. His WCW character was pushed aside in favor of storylines which fans were never keen on.
Page was somewhat of a milestone for WCW, as he proved that WCW was capable of making its own stars, and capable of pushing them, although his first reign as World Champion came at a time when the WCW was losing ground to the WWF. In professional wrestling, a push is an attempt by the booker to make the wrestler win more matches and so become more popular with the fans. ...
In December 2005, it was reported that Page filed a lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z for illegally adopting the "Diamond Cutter" hand gesture as his own.
