In a recent interview with The Angle Podcast, DDP discussed that he was fairly motivated to work with the biggest promotion in wrestling given his tremendous resume in WCW.
“Every single thing that I have ever said has happened, except for when I came up with the idea of People’s Champion versus People’s Champion,” he added.

“It was like, ‘You guys b****-slapped us for 83 weeks straight.’ Now we’re not gonna put you over. And I get it, it was just business.”
The 3x World Heavyweight Champion was not pleased with the segment because it really stunted his growth in the company and he clearly showed his disagreement with the management.
