Sportskeeda.com conducted an exclusive interview with Diamond Dallas Page. “The Master Of The Diamond Cutter” commented on topics like his love for Daniel Bryan, how long can A.J. Styles stay on top, Drew McIntyre‘s dedication, and his stalker run in 2001 WWE.

On Drew McIntyre’s work ethic & A.J. Styles’ longevity:

“Drew McIntyre drove seven hours from Tampa, Florida up to Atlanta, Georgia to work out with me. You’ve seen what’s happening with Jericho, he’s 47 and still going strong.

AJ is 40 right now, it’s all about the preventative maintenance he does. He’s doing DDP Yoga five days a week and that’s the kind of thing that’s going to keep him in the ring.

Who knows? He performs at such a high level, it’ll be interesting to watch. All I know is, right now, he looks the same as he did at 24 – except for he’s better.”

On having “People’s Champ” DDP vs. “People’s Champ” The Rock:

“When it’s all said and done, I’d have loved to have done People’s Champion vs People’s Champion, mainly because The Rock is the biggest star in the world. He’s amazing.

But I had a great run. I was very blessed, so I focus on that rather than what could have been – because you can’t change what could have been.”

On his love for Daniel Bryan:

“Oh, man. I love Daniel Bryan, and we had a very similar career where they (WWE) didn’t really believe in either one of us, and we both rose to a whole different level of stardom.

He’s still going. I love watching him out there because he’s the underdog who works harder than anybody out there so I have a really fond spot in my heart for that kid.”

Real good interview by Gary Cassidy here. If anyone can relate to the stories of Daniel Bryan, A.J. Styles or Drew McIntyre in some capacity, it’s DDP. All had their own winding roads to super stardom and if McIntyre keeps hitting that work ethic road, we might see his name up with Bryan and Styles sooner than later.
