I'm surprised they didn't show his final match at the Rumble a few years ago. Dude hit a bunch of diamond cutters and looked a million times better than his WWF run in a matter of minutes.

Most of his memorable moments in WWE consisted of being murdered by the Undertaker and smiling a lot Also eating a pin from Sara 'WAY HOTTER THAN KIMBERLY PAGE' taker.

I was a fan of both WCW and WWE but the way they treated DDP in WWE was absolute crap. I'd cooled on him a bit during his Jersey Triad run but to treat the guy the way they did was ridiculous. Yes they put him in a feud with Taker. However, they completely buried him in the feud and ignored his success in WCW ("make me famous"). A lot of the WCW guys got a raw deal but his was one of the rawest. Giving him the European championship was almost like they were just giving a giant middle finger to his WCW fans. So, I'm kinda glad they didn't show his WWE run bs.

Granted they turned it into WCW vs WWE and the people on Sting's side made no sense but it was something. With DDP they left him rotting in the lower card for a good long while before cutting him loose. Then again, Sting's second match was a career ender and he never did get a win in WWE. I'm actually not sure who I would say go the worse deal.

As far as I'm concerned, he never set foot in their ring. No one can force me to remember if he did either dammit!

His WWE run was all a cruel joke on him. And it was all on camera. It was a taped rib. Very meta.

Then DDP got a reputation for not knowing how to work a match. Which pretty much sealed his fate in WWE.

How pissed would everyone be if WWE did a package on him and they kinda gloss over his WCW days? If they showed a lot of the weird WWF version of DDP and act like entering the Rumble last year was his career highlight people would start a riot.

I'm honestly kind of surprised they didn't showcase his "out of the ring" feats in helping the other guys (both inactive and active). I'm sure we'll see plenty of that at the actual ceremony, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

It was DDP trying to goad Taker into a fight using a response to Taker's catchphrase at the time of "I'll make you famous" which he was using while alluding to making moments by beating the shit out of his opponents like Mankind and the Cell. not that the WWE did him any favors in that feud, but that line was DDP being a cocky asshole.

Good god, the naïveté or balls to go to Taker with a script and say "Here's how our match will go"

Explain to me why again he had a crush on Undertaker's ex wife when his wife at the time was 10x hotter? Sara = WWF wife Kimberly = WCW wife Ain't it obvious??

He was in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal last year, too. So he has stepped foot in a WWE ring. He was the only person to be in a ring with someone with a last time that his 1st name (Bo Dallas) & on a card with someone that his last name is their 1st name (Paige).

After all the help he's done changing the lives of many wrestlers, it's the least they could do.
