Diamond Dallas Page had a scary moment in his last in-ring appearance of his career.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the pro wrestling legend reflected on nearly being paralyzed in his last match in 2002 and how it eventually led to him creating DDP Yoga.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On the neck injury: “I go back about my neck, and [the doctor] goes, ‘Let me show you something.’ And he shows me how bad my neck is. He goes, ‘You were so lucky, if you’d have landed a little right or a little left, you’d be a quadriplegic right now. You would be done.’”
On the back injury that led to him creating DDP Yoga: “When my spine guy, who first guided me when I blew my back out and broke my back, he goes, ‘You’re done.’ Three months later, because of what would become [DDP Yoga] I went back to him, he’s like, ‘I’ve never seen this recovery ever, what did you do?’ I told him and I showed him and he goes, ‘Don’t stop doing that, keep doing whatever the f*** you’re doing.’”
