WWE Hall of Famer has explained why he should have defeated Goldberg in the late 1990s.
Making his WCW debut in the 1990s, Bill Goldberg began a dominant run in the promotion. Breaking through his opponents like a bulldozer, the Hall of Famer also enjoyed a long-running winning streak of 173-0.
Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page became a part of that streak on 25th October 1998, when he lost to Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Title at WCW Halloween Havoc. Speaking on the latest episode of DDP’s Gauntlet, Page shared that he should have won the title match.
I personally feel, I should have beat Goldberg. Not me, Diamond Dallas Page should’ve of, because it would have been untarnished for Bill. It would have been believable because [The Diamond Cutter] was the murder move. He could have taken back the next night. That is what it is.”

While the specific match was not mentioned, the duo faced each other three times in singles matches, with Goldberg winning two of them, and one ending in a no-contest. Their first match in 1998 was their only championship match.
DDP also opened up on the video that Eric Bischoff never helped him until a few legends pushed for him.
(Eric) Bischoff did not help me with money, he didn’t help me with, giving me the push until (Kevin) Nash, (Scott) Hall, (Randy) Savage, and Hulk (Hogan) got behind me. And Sting too as well. Once those guys got behind me, Eric put me in the spot.”
While unsuccessful against Goldberg for the WCW World title pursuit in October 1998, he later won the gold on April 11th, 1999.
A WWE Veteran Reflects On Kurt Angle’s Addiction Recovery Journey
In a recent episode of Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Outlaws, WWE veteran Vince Russo reflected on a recovering Kurt Angle violently shaking during his initial TNA interview. Russo shared that Angle was recovering from his addiction then and showed signs of withdrawal.
When he [Kurt Angle] first came to TNA, I remember sitting down with him, and I produced his very first interview. Chris, I never saw this with anybody I had ever worked with before. Bro, the whole interview, he was [shaking], and it was withdrawal. He was trying to get off the stuff, and I mean the whole interview. And man, to see it like you can’t imagine that battle, like, ‘Oh my God.’ But, thank God, man. I mean, he found his way through because he’s such a good man and good individual, and I just thank God.”
