"Legend Killer, but you ain't killed me yet!" - WWE Hall of Famer on his discussions with Randy Orton about dream match (Exclusive)
Being a WWE Superstar for a long time is no mean feat, and Randy Orton deserves all the praise for completing 20 years in WWE and facing several icons during his career. However, Diamond Dallas Page's name is surprisingly absent from the illustrious list of opponents that have faced Orton.
Randy had a significant connection with DDP as he took the former WCW Champion's iconic 'Diamond Cutter' finisher and slightly modified it into the 'RKO.' Page recently commented on The Viper's career milestone and admitted that he regrets not having a program with him.
Page said that there were opportunities in the past where he could have wrestled Randy Orton and even recalled details of a conversation they had. Here's what DDP stated on this week's episode of 'The Bro Show':
"I just loved his journey; bummed that I never got the opportunity to work with him. It's funny because, leaving there and then starting to come back, there could have been a moment where I could have done something with him. And he actually said it to me one day because I came up to him and said, 'Randy, don't you remember me calling?' He's like, 'No, man, I don't remember that.' He goes, 'If you say it, I believe you.'" [33:25 - 33:54]
While Randy Orton was hopeful of a clash, DDP knew it could never become a reality. The latter teased Orton during the superstar's "Legend Killer" days.
"But at the end of the conversation. He started walking; he turned around and went, 'I know at some point I'm going to see you out there.' And I said, 'I don't think so, bro.' He goes, 'Seriously?' I go, 'I'd love to do it, but I don't see that coming.' It never did, and then when he became the Legend Killer, occasionally I would say, 'You know Randy, Legend Killer, but you ain't killed me yet!'" Page recalled. [33:55 - 34:30]
