WWE Hall of Famer DDP has opened up on watching himself in Jey Uso and Bryan Danielson.
Initially starting as a manager in WCW, Diamond Dallas Page transitioned into a wrestling role in 1991 and became extremely over with the fans. DDP’s popularity soared through the roof, with the veteran even winning the WCW World Championship.
Recently, speaking on Casino Beats, DDP named Uso and Danielson as two stars he sees himself in. Both Uso and Danielson (Daniel Bryan in WWE) got themselves over naturally in World Wrestling Entertainment and won the World Championship at WrestleMania 41 and 30. Sharing his thoughts on this, Page said,
“I think, for me, Diamond Dallas Page was just a little bit of the American dream. He’s a little bit of Savage. He’s a little bit of Terry Funk. He’s a lot of Jake, the Snake Roberts, they all make one DDP. The guys who I see who have come up, who really took the crowd the way I did, and I think they took it even further, either Bryan Danielson back when he was Daniel Bryan, back when he was in WWE. Jey Uso, when he got that YEET shit over man.”
Also feeling potential in Jimmy Uso, he further said,
“The movement. People wanna move. Like he’s one of them. That’s the way I was brought in. Sammy Zayn. It’s that same thing. LA Knight has that same thing. These are guys that have been in the business a long time. Look at Jey Uso. He’s gotta have been in the business 20 fu**ing years.
He’s just stepping out, but he got jettisoned out. He can’t do anything wrong right now, and he brings that energy. And Jimmy can be the same thing. I don’t know if he’ll ever get that shot yet, but I always thought both of those Uso guys, they had it. And the whole Roman thing when they were the bloodline was just the three of them.”
DDP was last seen inducting Lex Luger at the 2025 Hall of Fame ceremony.
Jey Uso Believes He Cannot Top This Iconic WWE Entrance
“It was fire, wasn’t it, Uce? Hell yeah. I don’t think I can ever replicate or duplicate some Lyon, France-type energy. I wish I could have that energy every night with me, but it’s okay. I just appreciate those moments, Uce. Shoutout to Lyon, France. I think they put me on the first time I ever thought of myself as some superstar status type. I had to watch it back. I don’t like watching nothing back. It’s just a lot. Lyon, France was 100 and I think that is the best entrance in WWE, let alone with The Undertaker. Stone Cold, glass, that’s your ass. Bret Hart. Shawn Michaels. I’m just appreciating this whole ride as I slide. Yeet.”
