#4 DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE (DDP)
DDP was one of the most popular wrestlers of all time in WCW. What made him stand out with me made him stand out to so many others. He had so much charisma. His finisher, the Diamond Cutter, is easy to set up and could be hit from anything. Almost all of his personages were interesting and fun. He first came out as the cigar smoking, self high-five guy. The self high-five is something that I do with my friends while joking around. He would then transform into, well DDP. Ditch the cigar and the self-high five and keep using the baddest finish in the planet. He was pushed to the top of WCW's card before it sold out to WWE in 2001. Later that year DDP debuted his not very well received gimmick, a stalker. He anonymously stalked the Undertakers wife until he took of his mask to challenge Taker. He was beaten bad and suffered real life injuries. When he came back his gimmick changed to what he does as a secondary job, a motivational speaker. I had no problem with it when he debuted the line "You like me, I like me, so you like you." After retiring a year later he started a yoga program called DDP Yoga with the tagline "It ain't your momma's yoga." I do this program and let me tell you, it definitely is not your momma's yoga. It also has saved WWE Hall of Famers Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Scott Hall. Many wrestlers worldwide use it and the wrestler next on the list was able to dive off a 20-foot cage at 43 because of it.
