Diamond Dallas Page On The 2021 “Positively Unstoppable Challenge,” His New Film “Relentless,” Future Plans & More
For many entertainers, being seen weekly on international television for close to decade would be the accomplishment they spend the rest of their lives talking about. In the case of WWE Hall Of Fame Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, his success as a professional wrestler is only one of the talking points these days. Beyond finding success as an author, actor and film producer, his pursuits related to DDPY — formerly known as DDP YOGA — have led to him being featured in seemingly-endless media coverage while directly impacting and improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. In other words, there are a lot of DDP fans and followers who are barely aware of his past as a wrestler.
Like everyone, 2020 brought its share of challenges to Diamond Dallas Page, but he has kept especially busy since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. this year. He started the year off by wrestling on TNT as part of All Elite Wrestling’s Dynamite program; given that he had some matches in the 1970s, that puts Page in rare company as a performer who wrestled in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. He put the finishing touches on his long-awaited Relentless documentary. And that is beyond acting work, media appearances and being directly involved with DDPY’s daily operations.
Whenever early January hits, the “New Year, New You” campaigns start to appear among health-oriented industries, as many people’s New Year’s Resolutions are set to kick off around then. As a lifestyle-oriented fitness program which also incorporates principles related to diet and well-being, DDPY is intended to guide its subscribers to being “positively unstoppable,” rather than just being a way to temporarily lose a few pounds. In turn, many people love both watching and competing in DDPY’s annual Positively Unstoppable Challenge. The winners of the 2020 edition of the Positively Unstoppable Challenge were Candi Herndon (1st place), Caitlin Kay (2nd place), Scott Georgeson and Justin Dobbins (tied for 3rd place), all of whom I aim to be interviewing in the coming weeks.
On December 31, 2020, I had the pleasure of speaking with Diamond Dallas Page via Zoom, as embedded below. Among the topics we discussed:
– The 2021 Positively Unstoppable Challenge
– What took so long for Relentless to be released
– The community feel of DDPY’s website and Facebook groups
– The successful transformations of Candi Herndon, Caitlin Kay, Scott Georgeson and Justin Dobbins
– What it takes for him to directly reach out to someone needing help
– His early 2020 appearances with MJF for All Elite Wrestling
– If he accomplished everything he had hoped to within 2020
– Future plans for his annual DDPY retreats
– How he wound up filming a scene for an Entourage DVD
– The origins old wrestling moniker of “Handsome” Dallas Page
– Whether the “Diamond” in his moniker was inspired by Diamond Dave from Van Halen
