The popular “Diamond” Dallas Page is another case of an undercard wrestler becoming
the top man in one of the top wrestling promotions in the United States.  From his beginnings
as a manager to his reigns as WCW World Heavyweight Champion and headlining pay-per-
view events, Page has always surprised his fans.  He has also always come through.  In
2001, Page took a new angle by stalking The Undertaker’s wife, and although he was hated
in some areas, those who follow the sport know what he is capable of.  They know the peaks
he can reach and the plateaus his fans will go to cheer for him.  Page has always been the
underdog.  Even when he scored pinfall victories over Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Randy Savage,
Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett and many other big named stars.  Page remains a big draw, but
everyone should know that it did not come easy or overnight.  He worked for every belt he
captured and for every Diamond Cutter he employed.

   In early 1988, Page was billed as a millionaire diamond miner from Johannesburg, South
Africa in the American Wrestling Association, based out of Minneapolis.  At his side was the
“Miss Body Beautiful 1987,” Kimberly, his wife and valet.  He organization the Diamond
Exchange and the group’s first members were Bad Company, Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond,
the soon-to-be World Tag Team Champions.  Page’s leadership offered the team a mouth
behind the microphone.  But the Company were no slouches.  They beat The Midnight
Rockers, Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, in Las Vegas on March 19th to win the World
Belts.

   In the successive months, Diamond and Tanaka dropped the Rock and Roll Express and
the Nasty Boys in title defenses.  Bad Company remained the champions for more than a
year.  Finally, on March 25, 1989 in Rochester, Minnesota, Ken Patera and Olympic
Superstar Brad Rheingans teamed to capture the championship.

   Page made his professional debut in 1990 and signed with World Championship Wrestling
in ’91.  Page initially entered the organization as a manager and through his connections with
Teddy Long, he secured a WCW World Tag Team Title shot against Doom.  No one was
quite sure who his team was.  The men he were leading into Phoenix at WrestleWar were
none other than Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin, the Fabulous Freebirds.  During the pay-
per-view spectacular, Tony Schiavone interviewed Page and he spoke about how he duped
Doom’s manager into the title shot.  Page’s ability on the microphone was obvious to
everyone.  

   Teddy Long interrupted the interview segment.  Page was accompanied by two “Diamond
Dolls” as the challengers made their way to the ring.  He spoke to the crowd before the
match.  Dallas introduced the “Road Boss” Big Daddy Dink, who had been formerly known as
Sir Oliver Humperdink.  The latter was also accompanied by two of the “Dolls.” Page left the
ring area for higher ground.  The ‘Birds did go on to capture the World Tag Team Title as
Dallas had predicted.  In 1991 and into 1992, Page learned more and more about wrestling
on the mat.  Promoters already knew about his quick wit and speaking ability, but it was his in-
ring skills which would make him famous.  He learned much from veteran Jake Roberts.

   Page also returned to managing and led the Diamond Studd, who was also known as Scott
Hall.  During the holidays, Dallas bounced back and forth between standing outside the ropes
and grappling inside.  His wrestling dates grew after the first of the new year.  On January 10,
1992, Page lost to Johnny B. Badd in Columbia, South Carolina.  He was beaten again by
Badd in Chicago two days later at the UIC Pavilion.  Big John defeated Page in a non-
televised contest before the start of the second annual SuperBrawl pay-per-view on February
29th in Milwaukee.  Van Hammer beat him on March 8th in Atlanta at the Omni.  Terrence
Taylor pinned Page on March 31st in East Rutherford’s Meadowlands Arena and he lost to
Nikita Koloff on April 3rd in Washington D.C. by pinfall after a “Russian Sickle.”  Badd
knocked Page out and pinned him on April 16th again in Columbia.  Page lost to Freebird
Michael Hayes on May 3, 1992 in Chicago at the UIC Pavilion.  

   Despite the losses, he was gaining much needed experience.  He was making the rounds
and “doing his time,” an act which many wrestlers don’t see much of anymore.  Some fans
believe star wrestlers are just made…in some special factory somewhere.  Dallas Page wasn’
t made…he worked for what he got.  During the early ‘90s, he was fighting for a spot in the
food chain.  It was a long road.  He wrestled a dark match at WrestleWar on May 17th in
Jacksonville.  Page teamed with Thomas Rich to beat Firebreaker Chip and Bob Cook.  In
June, he signed another dark match for the Beach Blast pay-per-view.  Page lost a six-man
tag bout along with Richard Morton and Tracey Smothers against Junkyard Dog, Tom Zenk
and Big Josh.

   Later in the year, he formed a tag team with Vinnie Vegas known as the Vegas
Connection.  The duo lost to Van Hammer and Erik Watts on October 25th in Philadelphia.  
Page was pinned by Watts before an estimated 7,000 fans in the Halloween Havoc dark
match.  In early January 1993, he suffered a torn rotator cuff during a team bout with Vegas
against Shanghai Pierce and Tex Slazenger.  Page was out most of the year.  On February
20, 1994 in Albany, Terry Taylor beat him during the fourth edition of SuperBrawl.  He
dropped a match to Johnny B. Badd during the Spring Stampede show on April 17th in
Chicago.  Page again faded away as he gained more and more experience in the wrestling
ring.  He lost an arm-wrestling match to Dave Sullivan on June 18, 1995 during the Great
American Bash.  Because of the defeat, Sullivan earned a date with Page’s valet, the
Diamond Doll.

   Page gained his revenge over Sullivan at the Bash at the Beach show in July.  He hired a
bodyguard to accompany him to the ring named Max Muscle.  On September 17, 1995 in
Asheville, Page captured his first major wrestling title.  He pinned the Renegade with the help
of Muscle and captured the WCW World Television Title.  Soon afterwards, a feud with
Johnny B. Badd began.  Badd captured the TV Title on October 29th in Detroit.  In another
match, Page lost his valet to Badd as well.  Things were going down the tubes quick.  An
attempt to get the Doll back on November 27, 1995 during Nitro failed with roses.  An illegal
object helped Badd pin Page during their match.  He wrestled before the Starrcade pay-per-
view in Nashville on December 27th and beat Dave Sullivan with a pin.

   On January 8, 1996, Page lost by submission to Sting.  He challenged and lost to Badd for
the TV Title at SuperBrawl on February 11th.  Badd eventually dropped the TV Belt to Lex
Luger and the Diamond Doll joined the Booty Man.  Page met the Booty Man on the 10th of
March in Tupelo and was beaten.  He teamed with the Barbarian during the Lethal Lottery at
Slamboree on May 19th.  They faced and beat Hugh Morris and Meng.  In the second round,
Page and Barbarian defeated the Booty Man and Rick Steiner.  Page and Barbarian both
advanced to the BattleBowl Battle Royal Finals.  Page eliminated his partner from earlier in
the night and won the event, becoming the “Lord of the Ring.” A ring was awarded.  The
victory shocked many and also earned Page a shot at the WCW World Title for the next pay-
per-view.

   The next night, Page wrestled and beat Brad Armstrong during the Nitro Broadcast.  
Afterwards, Gene Okerlund entered the ring.  Okerlund told Page that the WCW Executive
Committee looked at his win the night earlier and decided that he should have been
eliminated before getting the victory.  Thus, he would not get the title shot at the Great
American Bash.  Instead, it would be handed to Lex Luger.  Page wrestled on the undercard
against Marcus Bagwell and won by pinfall.

   Page announced that his BattleBowl Ring had been stolen on July 1st during Nitro.  Jim
Duggan found it on the floor in the latrine and immediately laid claim.  Page was not going to
mess around.  He wanted it back.  The two got into a scrap and promoters set a match for the
pay-per-view on July 7th, with a special stip.  It was going to be a taped fist match, which
leaned in Duggan’s favor, but Page came through.  He pinned Duggan and regained the
ring.  In Denver on August 15th, Page put the BattleBowl Ring on the line against the talented
Eddy Guerrero.  He lost the match by pinfall but Diamond-cut Guerrero several times
afterwards.  Chavo Guerrero Jr. ran out from the back to halt the continued attack.  Despite
the loss, Page refused to give up the ring.

   On September 2nd on Nitro, Page beat Alex Wright.  He gave an interview from St.
Petersburg on November 11th with Gene Okerlund.  There, he mentioned that he once
managed Scott Hall.  The Outsiders walked out and argued with Page.  A new war was
brewing.  Or was it?  Page participated in the World War III show on Sunday, November 24th
in Norfolk.  In late ’96, a tournament to determine a new U.S. Heavyweight Champion was
held and Page advanced to the finals against Guerrero.  Eddy won the belt at Starrcade
before an estimated 9,000 fans in attendance.

   Speculation was traveling through WCW in January 1997 about Page possibly joining the
NWO.  On January 13, 1997 during Nitro, Page met Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in the ring and
received some accolades for his recruitment.  He received an NWO T-shirt as a token of their
appreciation.  When the Outsiders turned their backs, Page delivered a diamond cutter on
Hall.  He also sent Nash over the top rope and onto a table.  Page made his escape through
the crowd.  In battling two of the toughest men in the promotion, his popularity began to
skyrocket.  At Souled Out on January 25th, Page evaded his match with Scott Norton by
venturing through the crowd.  The referee counted him out.  He beat Marcus Bagwell by
disqualification on February 23rd in San Francisco.

   Page had one of his most important matches against Randy Savage during the Spring
Stampede pay-per-view on April 6th.  He pinned his opponent and gained one of the biggest
wins of his career.  His status in the company raised and the loss caused some controversy
within the NWO itself, which delighted many fans.  The Diamond Cutter, he used as a finisher,
was one of the most explosive in the business.  The former Diamond Doll, Kimberly was also
at his side.  In a rematch with Savage on June 15th in Moline, Page was defeated.  

   Eight days later in Macon, Page beat Scott Hall by disqualification during Nitro.  He went
into the Bash at the Beach on July 13th with a mystery partner against Savage and Hall.  The
mysterious second turned out to be former two-time AWA World Champion and “Mr. Perfect,”
Curt Hennig.  No one could have predicted how things would have turned out.  Hennig walked
out on Page after a verbal and physical altercation.  Page also lost the tag match.  He was
beaten by Hennig at Road Wild in a grudge match.  The heated feud with Savage and Hall
continued into the fall of ’97.  He battled Lex Luger to a no-contest on the September 8th
edition of Monday Nitro at the Wisconsin Center.  At Fall Brawl, less than a week later, Page
teamed with Luger to beat Savage and Hall.  Two-time former AWA World Champion, Larry
Zbyszko made the three-count after Hall had knocked out two of the officials.  To end their
feud, Page wrestled Savage in a special Las Vegas Death Match on Sunday, October 26th at
the MGM Grand Garden Arena.  Hollywood Hogan, dressed as Sting, helped Savage beat
Page.  A baseball was also figured into the bout.

   Page gained some much needed revenge on another hated opponent, Curt Hennig on
December 28th in Washington DC.  He beat Hennig and captured the United States
Heavyweight Title.  On January 5, 1998 in Atlanta before an estimated 26,000 fans, Page
beat Chris Jericho in a very short match.  At the February pay-per-view, he wrestled another
talented grappler, Chris Benoit.  Page won, retaining his gold.  During the spring, a feud with
Raven began.  He competed against Raven and Benoit in a three-way, no-disqualification
match on March 15th in Alabama.  After 17:11, Page pinned Raven to retain the U.S. Belt.

   On March 18, 1998, Page was on MTV Live in New York City, with footage from his Stuck
Mojo video and of a brawl between him and Raven on Monday Nitro, plus from Uncensored
with Triple Jeopardy.  He was billed correctly as the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion.  
Towards the end of the show, Raven appeared from behind, hitting Page with a stop sign.  
The attack continued and Raven put Page through a table with a DDT.  Adding insult to
injury, Raven left with the title belt.  Officials announced that Page had suffered a concussion
and was unable to travel to Terra Haute for the March 19th WCW Thunder.  Raven appeared
with the belt.  On March 25th in Baltimore, Maryland, Page and Benoit defeated Perry Saturn
and Raven in a tag match.

   A month later at the Spring Stampede show in Denver, Page officially lost the U.S. Title to
Raven.  Raven would not go on to dominate the U.S. Title for months, but dropped the
championship to Bill Goldberg the next evening in Colorado Springs.  Page beat Raven in a
grudge cage match on May 17, 1998 in Worcester, Massachusetts.  Their feud ended.

   During the summer of 1998, Page got more world renown press than many wrestlers have
done in their entire careers.  He teamed with two mainstream media and sports figures in the
main events of two straight pay-per-views.  First, Page teamed with Utah Jazz Forward and
NBA Superstar, Karl Malone against former Chicago Bull and World Champion NBA Forward,
Dennis Rodman and Hollywood Hogan.  Page was pinned by the latter in the first match.  The
bout was given all kinds of press.  At Road Wild, Page teamed with the host of the Tonight
Show, Jay Leno against Hogan and Eric Bischoff.  Leno pinned Bischoff to win that match.  
Page might have been the most popular wrestler in WCW at that moment.

   Bigger things were ahead and it seemed that the sky was the limit.  He was named as
captain of one of three teams for War Games at Fall Brawl by James J. Dillon on August 17,
1998 in Hartford.  Page teamed with Roddy Piper and the Warrior against Team NWO
Wolfpack and NWO Hollywood on September 13th in Winston-Salem.  Among the other
names in the event were Hogan, Bret Hart, Lex Luger, Sting and Kevin Nash, some of the
biggest names in the game.  Page pinned Stevie Ray to win the match, earning a title shot at
Halloween Havoc.  He had logged yet another huge victory.  Page challenged hugely popular
Bill Goldberg on October 25th in Las Vegas for the belt, but lost by pinfall.

   The next night, Page beat Bret Hart in Phoenix to capture his second United States Title.  
In a rematch on November 22nd, Page won again during the World War III pay-per-view.  
Eight days later, Hart beat Page during Monday Nitro and captured the title in Chattanooga.  
During the Starrcade event on December 27th, Page used a top rope Diamond Cutter to
beat the Giant in Washington DC.  A happy MCI Center crowd looked on.  In early 1999, he
challenged Scott Steiner for the World TV Title and promoters set a match for February 21st
in Oakland.  Page lost by submission to the Steiner Recliner in 14:15.  Buff Bagwell also
participated in the bout, but wasn’t there to help Page in any way.  Page was carried from the
ring.

   A four-way WCW World Title Match was scheduled for April 11th in Tacoma during Spring
Stampede.  Page was one of the men involved along with Ric Flair, Sting and Hollywood
Hogan with Randy Savage acting as special referee.  Hogan was carried from the ring by
trainers after he had suffered a leg injury.  The bout became a three-way dance.  Towards
the end, Savage decided to interfere by landing a top-rope elbow on a prone Flair.  Page
then landed a diamond cutter and won by pinfall.  He captured his first WCW World
Heavyweight Championship before an estimated 17,000 fans.

   Sting beat Page during the April 26th edition of Nitro in Fargo, North Dakota, and won the
title.  Dallas had reigned for only 15-days.  That night was going to be a historic one, though,
away from already having lost the WCW World Title.  Before the night was over, he was
beginning his second reign and had scored a big four-corners win over Sting, Bill Goldberg
and Kevin Nash.  In a single evening, Page had lost and regained the World Belt.

   An estimated 20,000 fans were at the TWA Dome in St. Louis to see Page’s defense
against Nash on May 9, 1999.  He lost the title.  Eric Bischoff helped Nash’s cause, but
Savage did what he could to help Page.  In the weeks that followed, he formed the New
Jersey Triad with the “Beast from the East,” Bam Bam Bigelow and later Chris Kanyon.  They
won the World Tag Title from Kanyon, a sub for Raven, and Perry Saturn on May 31st in
Houston.  It became apparent that Kanyon was the third leg of the wheel.  Promoters allowed
that any of the three could defend the championship.  They lost the belts during Thunder on
June 10th in Syracuse to Chris Benoit and Saturn, but regained the title with Kanyon three
nights later in Baltimore.  Harlem Heat captured the belts for the eighth time on August 14th
in Sturgis from Bigelow and Kanyon.  Bigelow had mistakenly hit Page and the Triad was on
the fritz.

   Page received a U.S. Title shot that night in South Dakota against Chris Benoit.  He lost by
pinfall in a special no-disqualification match.  On September 12th at Fall Brawl, Page was
beaten by Goldberg.  He was one of four men to interfere in Sting’s World Title Match with
Hulk Hogan.  Page beat Ric Flair by pinfall on October 24th in Vegas during Havoc ’99.  
Kimberly Page wrestled Ric’s son David Flair at Mayhem.  The bout ended in a wild no
contest with Flair being attacked by Page and Kanyon.  Page wrestled David at Starrcade on
December 19th and won.  Buff Bagwell topped Page at Souled Out ’00.

   2000 was going to be a hectic year for World Championship Wrestling.  Before everything
changed, an autobiography about Page’s life was released on February 1, 2000.  The book
was entitled Positively Page:  The Diamond Dallas Page Journey.  The highly respected work
was a window into DDP’s life.  The 443 page work was written by Page and Larry Genta and
was published by Positive Publications, LLC.  A wave of acclaim followed.

   On April 10, 2000 in Denver, Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff teamed to form the “New
Blood” during a historic episode of Nitro.  The two officials stripped every belt from the
reigning champions and cast a shadow over a group Page was among.  The “Millionaires
Club” consisted of Page, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious and
Sting.  Page won a match over Luger, receiving some unwanted help from Buff Bagwell.  He
also wrestled Sting later in the night.  Kimberly was at his side.  Jeff Jarrett, the “Chosen One”
had gone to the commentary booth to help speak when he began to harass Kimberly.  Page
went after him with a vengeance, delivering an array of punches.  Vampiro ran out and
attacked Sting at the same time.  Page returned to hit a Diamond Cutter on Sting and got a
winning pin.  Jarrett missed a guitar shot on Page and hit Kimberly, knocking her out, then
ran off before Page could grab him.  The war was intense and the New Blood had gained an
advantage.

   The WCW World Title was put up in a tournament, and Page advanced into the finals on
April 16th in Chicago during the Spring Stampede pay-per-view.  Jarrett won by pinfall and
captured the belt.  During the April 24th Nitro, he beat Jarrett in a rematch and captured his
third WCW World Title in a special cage match.  Mike Awesome attempted to stop Page’s pin
attempt, but Kanyon stopped him.  WCW welcomed another Hollywood Mogul into the sport
during a Thunder Taping in Syracuse on April 25th.  Page teamed with David Arquette, the
man he had worked with in “Ready to Rumble,” a film about professional wrestling which
came out around the same time.  The tag affair was against Jeff Jarrett and Eric Bischoff, with
the winning capturing Page’s World Title.  In a stunning turn of events, Arquette pinned
Bischoff and won the belt.  An actor had won the most prestigious title in the promotion.

   Just like the film, a three-level steel cage match was scheduled for Slamboree.  It was
going to be Page vs. Jarrett vs. Arquette for the belt.  Jarrett won the match and regained the
title.  Page battled Awesome in a grudge match on June 11th in Baltimore.  He was thrown
into an ambulance and lost due to the stipulations.  Kanyon also turned on Page to add insult
to injury.  Left WCW for quieter ground.

   After a several month absence, Page reappeared in Chicago on Monday, November 6,
2000 during Nitro.  Fans cheered his emergence from the curtain.  A chant of “DDP” began.  
He spoke to the crowd and said that he was in Amarillo working a house show against Booker
T when he realized that he missed professional wrestling for what it really was.  Page stated
that he missed having a good time with the fans.  Several athletes from the television show
“Battle Dome” began to hurl words at Page from the front row.  A few of the “boys” from the
back went to the ring and evened things up.  Included were Rick Steiner, Ernest Miller and
Buff Bagwell.  A wild brawl broke out before it was all calmed.  Each of them had words and it
seemed as if it was leaning to a shootfight.  The war only lasted a few weeks.  Fans really
didn’t care what Page was doing…at least he was back.

   Later in November, he formed a tag team with Kevin Nash known as the “Insiders,” as
opposed to Nash and Scott Hall being known as the “Outsiders.” The two former World
Champs were immediately pegged as the top challengers for the tag title.  At Mayhem on
November 26th, Page and Nash won the World Tag Title from the Perfect Event, Chuck
Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak, in Milwaukee.  Mike Sanders, the WCW Commissioner and lead
member of the Natural Born Thrillers, of which the Event were members of, reviewed the
situation and declared that the illegal man in the ring scored the winning pin.  With that, he
returned the belts to Palumbo and Stasiak.  Mark Madden, a WCW Commentator, spoke out
about Page in what was perceived to be “shoot” fashion and received a week long
suspension for his actions.  He was later let go from the organization.

   At Starrcade on December 17th, the Insiders captured their second tag title from Palumbo
and Stasiak in the nation’s capital.  The next night in Richmond during a live edition of Nitro,
Scott Steiner went to the ring and told Ric Flair to come to walk out and announce Page as
his next opponent for the January pay-per-view.  Flair did walk out, but Page was not
announced as the number one contender to the World’s Title.  Page confronted Steiner
backstage and the two nearly got into a serious altercation.  Page and Nash both left the
arena afterwards and did not appear on camera.  Internet wrestling junkies were spewing
rumors ten at a time.  Officials signed the Insiders to defend their belts against Sean O’Haire
and Chuck Palumbo on January 14, 2001 in Indianapolis.  The belts changed hands after
members of the Thrillers interfered.

   On February 18th in Nashville, Page wrestled both Jeff Jarrett and Chris Kanyon.  He won
against “Double J,” but lost to his former Triad partner.  Making some people happy, Page
was signed in a World Title Match against Scott Steiner on March 18, 2001 in Jacksonville,
Florida.  The pay-per-view was entitled “Greed” and would be WCW’s final under AOL-Time
Warner.  The bloody falls-count-anywhere match ended with Rick Steiner helping his brother
get the submission victory.  WCW was sold to WWFE in the week that followed the show.

   On March 26th, the final Nitro was broadcast as Vince and Shane McMahon appeared on
TNT as well as TNN.  Shane announced that he had purchased WCW out from under his
father and that he would continue running the promotion in opposition.  Many wondered who
was going to be apart of the new WCW.  A stalking angle began on WWF Television on May
28, 2001 during Raw.  The situation began with footage shown of The Undertaker’s wife Sara
being watched at her home.  More was shown during that week’s Smackdown and then into
the month of June.

   Finally, on June 18th, things came to a boil.  The Undertaker’s famous music played
overhead, as a masked bikerider rode down to the ring.  The man got in the ring and took off
the mask.  It was Dallas Page.  Page had been the one following The Undertaker and his
wife.  The crowd was mixed between cheers and boos, but his fans were more than happy to
see their hero back in the spotlight.  Page spoke to the crowd and said that he wanted the
Undertaker to make him famous.  He flashed the diamond over his head as he bailed through
the crowd.  The invasion of the WWF was on and Page was obviously at the head of things.  
He had picked one of the toughest men in the promotion.  On June 24th in East Rutherford,
Page and the Undertaker wrestled in a unsanctioned match, but it never really went down.  
They battled for a little while before Page decided that he had enough.

   The King of the Ring was Page’s first WWF pay-per-view.  The next night on Raw, the feud
continued and many were angry at just how far Page was willing to go.  The Undertaker and
Kane were scheduled for a WWF World Tag Title Match against the Dudley Boys.  After D-
Von and Buh Buh retained, Page attacked the Undertaker on the rampway with a steel chair.  
The ‘Taker was put out of commission while Sara went on the attack.  After it was said and
done, Page and ripped out some of her blond hair and walked off.  The Undertaker wrestled
Albert for the Intercontinental Title during Raw on July 2nd in Tacoma.  During the match,
Page ran out and attacked the challenger with a chair, then landed his Diamond Cutter.  He
went after Sara and received a punch.  Kane walked up from behind and attacked Page.  
Sara took out some of her frustrations on the man who stalked her before Kane tossed Page
into the ring with his brother.  The Undertaker gave Page a few punches before it ended and
Dallas escaped.

   During Smackdown, he wrestled WCW World Champion Booker T in a title match.  Page
was distracted when the Undertaker ran out and was pinned.  The fight continued
afterwards.  The Undertaker began searching for him throughout the Tacoma Dome when
members of WCW attacked him.  Page ran out and the Undertaker was badly beaten.  It
seemed that he had gotten the upper hand after several rough appearances.  Prior to
Invasion, Stephanie McMahon-Helsmley and Paul Heyman teamed to relaunch Extreme
Championship Wrestling.  They immediately sided with WCW in it’s war with the WWF and the
“Alliance” was born.

   The Inaugural Brawl was held on July 22nd in Cleveland, Ohio and the Alliance was set to
wrestle members from the WWF.  It was five-on-five.  Page teamed with Rhyno, Booker T and
the Dudley Boys against the Undertaker, Steve Austin, Kane, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle.  
Surprisingly, Austin turned on the WWF and joined the revolution.  The WCW/ ECW Faction
was victorious.

   During the first week of August, Page teamed with his Triad ally, Chris Kanyon to win the
WWF World Tag Team Title from the Acolytes in Los Angeles.  They became the fifth team in
history to have held both the NWA/ WCW and WWF World Tag Team Titles.  That same
night, the Undertaker and Kane won the WCW World Tag Team Title and became the sixth
team to accomplish the feat.  The promotions began for a huge WCW vs. WWF World Tag
Title Unification Match for SummerSlam on August 19, 2001 in San Jose at the Compaq
Center.  It was to be a steel cage match.  In the final of the brutal contest, the Undertaker
pinned Page and captured the WWF Belts.

   Page suffered a serious injury and was scheduled to miss some time.  He returned with a
new gimmick, serving as the Alliance’s motivational speaker.  He had a few run-in’s with The
Big Show and Kane which never broke his morale.  During one Alliance segment backstage,
Page could be seen off in the distance with a relentless smile.  On Thursday, November 15th,
he appeared in New York City on the Howard Stern Show with Torrie Wilson to promote the
upcoming Survivor Series.  They also gave Stern an X-Box, which were released…  The
conversation as wild as would be expected and none of the group disappointed.  If Sunday’s
pay-per-view buy-rate was going to be based on their appearance, new records were about
to be broken.  The Alliance vs. WWF war was going to lean in one way or another.
