Diamond Dallas Page was part of Ric Flair’s Last Match, but Ric Flair had bigger plans for him.
Page appeared at the event to deliver a diamond cutter to Matt Cardona, but according to DDP, Flair wanted him to take part in the main event. Page said while speaking to Renee Paquette on The Sessions that Flair wanted him in a six man tag match.
“Ric actually called me and asked me if I would be in the match with him, do a six-man. At first he said, ‘D, how old are you?’ ’66.’ ‘I’ve seen you, you’re in great shape. I’d really love to have you be in this match.’ I said, ‘Ric, I can’t do it. I feel so good, I can’t take a chance on hurting myself.’ He goes, ‘I feel great!’ ‘You’re not from this planet.’ That’s when he talked me into doing the roast and I said I would only do it for him. I’m not a roast guy,”
