DDP has absolutely save the lives of many of his fellow wrestlers and even some outside of the wrestling world and that will always be bigger than anything he ever did in the ring.
What DDP did was worth more than any Championship belt or hall of fame. I've been always a big fan of DDP and boy, watching this just make me respect him even more. This really brought a tear into my eye, seeing him caring for his mentor and friends.
One of his clients is a former marine who became morbidly obese after he left the service. DDP yoga helped him get back into shape and get back the use of his legs
I met DDP at Motor City Comic Con last year in May. I was about two weeks post-college graduated and jobless. Now that might not seem too bad, but by that time, I had applied to over 100 jobs since that January with only ONE nibble. I met him when I was really starting to question if I majored in the right thing or if i was worth anything in the adult world. I told him what I was going through and he said "you gotta wake up every day with a goal in your mind and do not stop or be satisfied with less." I literally cried when he was telling me this. The positivity was overwhelming. A month later, I finally landed a job with my industry and haven't looked back. He is as great as you would think he is.
U R Great DDP. Congratulations to S.H. And J t S. Who else could have talked U into getting straight! The weight losses R just inspiring!! Happy for you all. A wrestling fan...
Wow, seeing Jake Roberts admit to the interviewer that he is afraid he will hurt him and genuinely show fear is a big eye opener to what these guys go through. It adds credence to a very true saying: "It's the weak who are cruel, gentleness is to be expected only from the strong."
Jake's admission that he puts on a mask and "plays with people's emotions" as the greatest wrestling actor of all time, is born of childhood neglect and sexual/physical trauma, followed by him admitting that he's even doing now because "I'm afraid you're going to hurt me", with him breaking down into tears and telling the interviewer that he loves and respects him and he doesn't want to do it but he can't help it, "it's just the way I am". That was one of the most emotionally moving moments I've ever seen. How many people is that true about? Survivors of trauma that put on masks that they don't want to because they are still afraid of being hurt, afraid of being abused again. What an inspiration Jake is, to be able to be so vulnerable on screen and share his self love. This is what healing looks like.
Man I was depressed before watching this & it made me realize just how BS and minuscule my worries are compared to what these legends are going through. Im over it already, my life is good. Thank You
@@reneelisardo9502 sometimes a little perspective can change your mental health. I relate a lot to what he said. Ive had similar experiences. People are spoiled these days and cry when they cant have their every desire. Sometimes you need to look at things in a positive light to realise you've been "got it made in the shade". And i mean that metaphorically
I know it sounds silly, but if I met Jake I wouldn't pay for an autograph. I'd pay to give him a big hug and let him know that this is the greatest moment in his career. Recovery is bigger than any title belt, Jake. You go for it, and make Davey Boy and Macho and everyone up there proud.
Man if you just saw him this monday? It was just the most moving shit I saw in wrestling in a long time. That brief appearance in the ring, he didn't even delivered a DDT, but just being back at a Raw ring again is the greatest championship. The bad guy is next.
Now watching this after Scott's passing. We've got to thank DDP for what he did for both Scott and Jake. I also know that Dusty Rhodes played a big role in this relationship.
I wish I could hug Jake. It was so sad to see the pain in his eyes when he told him he was afraid he was going to hurt him. Love you DDP!!! Thank you so much for believing in Jake & Scott just as much as you did on yourself. Stay blessed
+UnrulyMisfit I wish all these guys got hugs earlier during their wrestling days. Its really depressing stuff what they did to eachother/what they went through themselves. It makes finding enjoyment in wrestling hard when you realize all the damage it does to people and the all hurt it brings.
+RykerStruvian So true. It's crazy picturing them wrestling when I was a kid thinking to myself "man, they're so cool!! their lives must be fantastic. They're invincible" yet not even close. Now as an adult and realizing what they were really enduring hits me because they put on this show for their fans to make them happy and enjoy their moment while their own life was falling apart... :/
It fucking hurt to watch bc to a certain perspective we all relate, life hits everyone harder than anything at some points, but one day at a time brother....why do we fall?...
When the wrestling business has guys like Triple H and Hulk Hogan who would go to any lengths to stay at the top, even if it meant stepping on the heads of young, talented and deserving guys, it is great to see someone like DDP who has given so much to Jake Roberts and Scott Hall and not because there was something in it for him! Diamond Dallas Page, there really are not enough people in the world like you. You are such a selfless, caring and giving individual, and I have such amazing respect for what you have done for these two icons of wrestling. Karma will no doubt reward you for your kind actions! Respect, my man!
This made me teary-eyed. I watched these guys as a kid and knew about their problems outside of wrestling--especially Scott Hall--and thought there was no hope for them. It's very moving to see how these guys have turned themselves around, and it makes me happy. Well done, DDP.
I won't read the other comments. I loved ddp in the 1990s. Got out of control. At 39 he's helped me. It's not fake. I was 39 6 ft 3 409 lbs. I'm a month from 40 307 lbs and can't touch my toes bench 250 and keep up with my 9 yo nephew he's really trying to help.
I had to come back and see this after I hear Scott Hall is being taken off life support. It's going to be horrible that he's gone. But I'm so happy that he was able to get clean and have a clear head for this last decade or so for a final chapter. Safe home, dude.
Unfortunately the final two years weren't the case. Covid did a number on him mentally and he relapsed back into the booze and drugs afterwards Still a great eight years of life, I just wish it wasn't cut short due to powers beyond his control...I like to think he would have been a great coach for HHH's new era if he were still alive today
DDP is the kind of friend who still sticks with u even in the hard times when ur broke compared to the other friends who just care about their own reputation and only want to hangout with rich and popular people. It's these friends u need in life, such a great human being. God bless u DDP
DDP is more important to the wrestling industry/community than anyone could ever know. Without him, a lot of wrestlers from the 70s to 90s would be dead right now.
Standing Ovation! as somebody who has watched these guys growing up, its awesome to see them so bright eyed and full of life. well done my friend, well done.
I've always thought Scott Hall speaks very eloquently and intelligently when he's sober. It's important to have the bad times on video just as much as the good memories like the ones they were reminiscing on so that he sees the progress he is making every day.
I'm a struggling alcoholic. I want to get sober but it feels like I need the booze. I have a daughter, who looks up to me. As a Native American, I don't want to be a statistic. When I feel down, I come to this. And it gives me encouragement. QWAQWAII/THANK YOU DDP. BANG!
Please reach out for help your daughter needs you she deserves the best parent you can be please don’t let the drink win, I happen to know what it’s like to be a child of an addict so I understand I also understand being the addict I was one haven’t given into those demons in over 12 years so please stranger to stranger you got this ❤
Beautiful piece by HBO, DDP & his yoga is a Godsent, saved so many people from the deep end(Suicide, depression, obesity, etc) including Roberts & Hall. Thank you Diamond Dallas Page!
It's just amazing seeing the before and after, and truly seeing these guys transformed into their true beings...You're the man DDP and it's great knowing you're out here to help everyone.
Dear Mr Page,Mr Roberts, And Mr. Hall, i have been following all of your careers for as long as I can remember. Your candidness in this forum is inspirational. My Dad was an addict and it took some time for him to realize giving up the booze and drugs wasn't him loosing as some of us men seem to think it is, but he was winning. He died sober and family was restored. I will continue to pray and believe for all the best GOD has for you, gentlemen. Soar like eagles and remember to laugh. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.
I loved DDP as a kid and as I learned more about the man behind the character when I grew up I've got a lotta respect for him. You've got a big heart man and you've helped a lotta people. So many wrestlers die too young and you've helped turn a lotta the boy's lives around. God bless you fir your work.
I worked as a photographer in wrestling for about 12 yrs until about 1988..I saw alot behind the scenes and got a view of what these guys go through in their lives as professional wrestlers..number one is that for most of them it's about loving the business..the high that comes from walking out of the curtain to twenty thousand or more fans has to be experienced to understand it..Unfortunately the toll of the lifestyle outside the ring and the pressure they feel not loose their spot on top drove them to unfortunate places in their lives..we're all human and we all deal with things differently and we could say they made bad choices using drugs & booze and that's true but the day to day grind of wrestling business is inhuman at times..i pray that Hall& Jake find peace and happiness in their later yrs because they deserve it for all they've been through and for all they gave to the fans & to wrestling business...lol
The world is lucky to have DDP. Dallas, you are an amazing person. I was addict for 10 years. Knowing that you have to answer to someone can make someone do a 180 when in a bad predicament. Thank You, brother. You're an inspiration to us all
I'm laying here in a hospital bed crying...thank you DDP for helping them to save themselves. Scott Hall my one wish is to meet you again and let me be there for you too. I love Scott Hall.
UK fan here. Not had any experience of the Real Sports show, but I really liked the way the interviewer talked about the 'artificial elements' of wrestling as opposed to calling it fake or a sham. The Resurrection of Jake The Snake was a beautiful, moving, honest and unflinching documentary which had me in tears several times and this segment did very well to cover that and DDP's general life quest for kindness.
The “it’s just the way I am” part got me tearing up man. Can’t thank DDP enough for finding himself and miraculously having the will and ability to help other s
Bless your heart Dally Page, I have struggled w addiction before, your a true friend to those guys. Much love for you three...I grew watching you guys.
As a lifelong wrestling fan this is a true feel good story to follow. Jake hasn't looked this good in a longtime. The fact that Scott Hall is still alive, and sober, is quite an accomplishment in and of itself. But to see the student not forget who his mentor is and become the mentor is saving his life makes Dallas a man who has earned respect.
I was a fan whenI tuned into WcW back when it was free on UKTV under channel 5. Then when you debuted on Raw my eyes nearly burst from my head when you were the stalker. Your Yoga has helped the level of bend in my knees to no end. And what you have done for these two great performers is beyond belief. DDP you are truly are a diamond, and I thank you for some great wrestling moments, your yoga plan and the positive attitude that radiates from you. Your someone anyone could look up too.
DDP and Jake... you guys are awesome. Don't want you to think I'm a stalker or anything but you are so inspiring and not just about what friends do for each other, but creating your own destiny! Yes!!
Thank u DDP for helping people get there life back,,u have also given me a new outlook on life and help me get off pain killers and finally waking up in the morning and being able to look at myself in the mirror and loving myself..Love u for that DDP
DDP is was and always will be awesome thank you for this great video 🤔🧐🤘Jake Roberts is a great inspiration to me for never giving up no matter what Scott Hall is a honest great person and the friendship between these three is awesome and very special thank you for this video 🤔🧐🤘
blew out my back when i was 27, worked construction, played football, did mma. It was so bad I couldn't stand up straight. I tried ddp yoga and IT WORKS, it WILL hurt the first few times you do it. STICK WITH IT. it will work. Now my back pain is almost gone and manageable, no surgeries, no injections, nothing. without this i never woulda been able to pickup my kids or play with them. Thank you to DDP and Yoga Doc for making this. If im ever in the same room with DDP i will wait in line nonmatter how long just to thank him. STOP PROCRASTINATING, STOP COMPLAINING, JUST TRY IT
I know this is a few years old but I'm so happy for these guys, especially Scott. I almost cried when he gave his Hall of Fame speech. I was such a big fan of him in his heyday and I'm so proud he was able to climb out of that dark place he was in for so long.
Thank you DDP for saving someone I watched during the 80's. You've helped so many people get through the bull@#$% and back on their feet. You are a true savior
I'm so happy that DDP was my favorite wrestler as a kid. In a world filled with Sunnys and Hogans, DDP is still here to keep it real and be an apparently decent guy.
Great shout sir. These are my school, with a tag like evenflow as in ravens evenflow ddt, another jake the snake pupil and old pal of ddp, these are for sure my school.. And seeing this video knowing what page has done for these pair, is nothing short of a miracle.. i know how bad jake was, and hall too, scott levy has been down that path a lot. and how many have died, davey boy smith was from my town..so sad but at the end of the day ddp is a absolute legend for this, vince would never have had jake back. that says a million things really.. DDP and MACHO hall of fame 2014...
I've been a wrestling fanatic since I was 5 years old. I've watched and loved all of these guys since the beginning. And I have bought DDPs dvds. I lost 59 pounds on them as well. They are truly great. And I hope that anyone who has gotten I to this,the greatest success
Diamond Dallas Page is a real God, angel, live savior, guardian and your salvation, stay safe and healthy and save others because you're one of the healthiest people on the planet and can save others.
God bless Jake and Scott for being brave and doing it and god bless DDP for bringing them back. This was real emotional to watch, the tears were freefalling. All the very best to you legends 🤘🤘
Ddp had a great career but what he's done outside especially with Scott and Jake is so much more inspiring. I remember watching that documentary with tears in my eyes
I'm glad that there are people out there that have enough respect to help one another on friendship alone. Friendship is a hard thing to come by these days. I like to watch DDP, Jake, and Scott hanging out and seeing there friendship blossom.
Diamond Dallas Page, this is an awesome documentary. You are truly a savior, bro. I've always been a huge fan of all three when y'all wrestled in the WWE & WCW. I remember when Scott Hall made an appearance on TNA and he was looking weak. But to see him in the ring with his buddy, Kevin Nash, was great and it brought back memories. As for Jake "the Snake" Roberts, I watched him begin his stardom in Mid-South back in the early 80's. I remember when he won the Louisiana championship from Larry Mantel. His career soared from then on. I first saw his downfall on the wrestling documentary, "Beyond The Mat" and it was painful to see. The help that you gave to Hall and Roberts is unmeasurable. And I say HELP because they made the 1st step to accept that help from you. Great job and I applaude all 3 of you.
i dont know if ddp will see this. that is besides the point. but i must say that seeing this touched me..big time. i grew up watching these legends every Friday and Saturday night, with my dad (a cup of tea and rich tea biscuits at the ready) these were and are and will always be heroes to me!!! they hold a special place in my heart..forever.. DIAMOND DALLACE PAGE you are an angel and maybe your really purpose on this world was for this moments! God bless you for helping and saving your fellow angels. broken people are not bad people they just need help!! what a job you are doing. JAKE THE SNAKE God bless you and i will pray a thousand times for you. that is a promise. search your heart and find the innocent you before life took away all of the innocence, now look at you...so beautiful so true, now that is the real you...the evil things people did to you fuck them..theirs only one place they are going and that is hell fire!! not you! Jake. I see you. you have a good heart. im not preaching but God knows that. I know that your fans know that. RAZOR REMON/SCOTT HALL! seeing you and hearing your story made me water up even more. you are and will always be my greatest wrestler!! so cool so slick,confident and you just looked hard lol. As a child I wasn't the most outwardly confident person i was more quite and shy. but i developed into a quietly confident being. and that, when i think about it, is because i looked up and sort inspiration from you! you was and still are every thing i want to be as a man. and what i mean by that is that you set out to achieve your goals and not only did you do that, you conquered it. life has beat you down struck you down and seeing you discuss this hit me hard because how can this happen to my heroes? the people i sort refuge in and the people i took confidence from? but i understand more than most how hard life can pound you! nor matter what your deepest darkest fears are Scott. you affected my life for the positive and that will live with me forever so i hope you take solace from that because you deserve to. and to all of the wrestlers who are in the same position and for the ones who we have lost. in my heart you will live for ever and i think i speak for the rest of the people who you have touched. some times i wonder if these legends know how much they have affected the life of so many truly appreciative individuals?? Well done DDP truly Well done. and thanks for saving my heroes and thank you my heroes for being open and accepting DDP. love you all. peace and God bless.
jake taught me a lot about wrestling when he was over here in the uk and I enjoyed going round for dinner. helping him paint the house and doing the gardening for him and it makes me happy to see how he is today thank you DDP for giving jake the chance like he did me to learn from a master of the ring all respect to you
RIP Scott Hall 🙏 Thanks to DDP he kept him alive for another 10 years
Truth ,Scott Hall unfortunately had a incident that took him out if that didn't happen he would still be throwing toothpicks
Almost 3 years on from this video, Jake the Snake and Scott Hall are still with us and doing pretty good. Bless Diamond Dallas Page.
ArcaneAzmadi and looking great too
love his yoga!
ALL THREE IN THE WWE HOF!
DDP has absolutely save the lives of many of his fellow wrestlers and even some outside of the wrestling world and that will always be bigger than anything he ever did in the ring.
Agreed
What DDP did was worth more than any Championship belt or hall of fame. I've been always a big fan of DDP and boy, watching this just make me respect him even more. This really brought a tear into my eye, seeing him caring for his mentor and friends.
kgp8 He should do,He deserves it..
He saved 2 mans lives
John Adeka More than 2. That doesn't count the ex-marine who's life he saved
One of his clients is a former marine who became morbidly obese after he left the service. DDP yoga helped him get back into shape and get back the use of his legs
I wish I could be as badass as him. But im too much of a lazy asshole.
I met DDP at Motor City Comic Con last year in May. I was about two weeks post-college graduated and jobless. Now that might not seem too bad, but by that time, I had applied to over 100 jobs since that January with only ONE nibble. I met him when I was really starting to question if I majored in the right thing or if i was worth anything in the adult world.

A month later, I finally landed a job with my industry and haven't looked back. He is as great as you would think he is.
Really that's good he would say getting a job and working is a good thing not a bad thing. Bammm diamond cutter
But he truly was also a inspiration and role model for me.
Awesome enjoy the next 60 plus years of everything too. It will one day all be great.
U R Great DDP. Congratulations to S.H. And J t S. Who else could have talked U into getting straight! The weight losses R just inspiring!! Happy for you all. A wrestling fan...
Sara, I love it, Keep up the good work
Wow, seeing Jake Roberts admit to the interviewer that he is afraid he will hurt him and genuinely show fear is a big eye opener to what these guys go through. It adds credence to a very true saying: "It's the weak who are cruel, gentleness is to be expected only from the strong."
yep, so true!
When I saw Jake start to break down like that I almost cried. I'm still tearing up at the moment...
+Yella Dart Warrior Savage and Owens passings .much like Bret would note were not Dope related like Perfects death back in 2003.
That interviewer was great aswell. Very respectful and truly moved when Jake broke down
You could see that scared little boy
Right there afraid someone was going to hurt him! Damn - why can’t we kill anyone who abuses little kids ?!?!
Jake's admission that he puts on a mask and "plays with people's emotions" as the greatest wrestling actor of all time, is born of childhood neglect and sexual/physical trauma, followed by him admitting that he's even doing now because "I'm afraid you're going to hurt me", with him breaking down into tears and telling the interviewer that he loves and respects him and he doesn't want to do it but he can't help it, "it's just the way I am". That was one of the most emotionally moving moments I've ever seen. How many people is that true about? Survivors of trauma that put on masks that they don't want to because they are still afraid of being hurt, afraid of being abused again. What an inspiration Jake is, to be able to be so vulnerable on screen and share his self love. This is what healing looks like.

Doesn't sound silly at all.
I would ask to do the same.
That's what he needs is a hug and a real friend to talk to which he has in DDP, and Scott Hall.
This made me tear up.
Snakes eat rabbits.
So proud of Scott for how he changed his life. Rest in the most blissful peace, Chico! You deserve it! "Bad times don't last, but bad guys do!"
God bless DDP. He is saving these legends and deserves the respect for his contributions.
Now watching this after Scott's passing. We've got to thank DDP for what he did for both Scott and Jake. I also know that Dusty Rhodes played a big role in this relationship.
DDP has got to be the best friend ever, great to see. :)
You guys are the best you are the real champs god bless you my brothers in all you do
We need more people like DDP in the world.
DDP is so high on life it's so funny and awesome and heartwarming all in one.
He strikes me as the most incredibly positive person-such a cool guy. :)
His eyes light up, his face shines so full of pure life.
In a world like pro wrestling, when DDP says "I'm always real." & you believe it...Thats powerful. He's a special kind of person.
I wish I could hug Jake. It was so sad to see the pain in his eyes when he told him he was afraid he was going to hurt him. Love you DDP!!! Thank you so much for believing in Jake & Scott just as much as you did on yourself. Stay blessed

Bless you DDP. Such a wonderful human being. I think I got tears in my eyes watching this.
Its 2021 and both are doing good, DDP is the man
A lot of respect for DDP. To deal with such big egos and addicted ppl. It's not easy job. God bless you man
It's just amazing seeing the before and after, and truly seeing these guys transformed into their true beings...You're the man DDP and it's great knowing you're out here to help everyone.
the resurrection of Jake the snake is amazing so power full I love it
We all want to belong and be cared for .Wonderful story. Tears in my eyes
DDP NEEDS TO BE IN HALL OF FAME !!!ALONG WITH THESE GUYS!! So much love an respect for these guys ,GOD BLESS DDP!!
Dear Mr Page,Mr Roberts, And Mr. Hall, i have been following all of your careers for as long as I can remember. Your candidness in this forum is inspirational. My Dad was an addict and it took some time for him to realize giving up the booze and drugs wasn't him loosing as some of us men seem to think it is, but he was winning. He died sober and family was restored. I will continue to pray and believe for all the best GOD has for you, gentlemen. Soar like eagles and remember to laugh. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.
Thank you DDP for saving another man from suicide ! You inspire me to help my fellow MAN!
I loved DDP as a kid and as I learned more about the man behind the character when I grew up I've got a lotta respect for him. You've got a big heart man and you've helped a lotta people. So many wrestlers die too young and you've helped turn a lotta the boy's lives around. God bless you fir your work.
I worked as a photographer in wrestling for about 12 yrs until about 1988..I saw alot behind the scenes and got a view of what these guys go through in their lives as professional wrestlers..number one is that for most of them it's about loving the business..the high that comes from walking out of the curtain to twenty thousand or more fans has to be experienced to understand it..Unfortunately the toll of the lifestyle outside the ring and the pressure they feel not loose their spot on top drove them to unfortunate places in their lives..we're all human and we all deal with things differently and we could say they made bad choices using drugs & booze and that's true but the day to day grind of wrestling business is inhuman at times..i pray that Hall& Jake find peace and happiness in their later yrs because they deserve it for all they've been through and for all they gave to the fans & to wrestling business...lol
DDP really doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He basically saved these two lives among many more.
The world is lucky to have DDP. Dallas, you are an amazing person. I was addict for 10 years. Knowing that you have to answer to someone can make someone do a 180 when in a bad predicament. Thank You, brother. You're an inspiration to us all
Jake the Snake has the best voice
I'm laying here in a hospital bed crying...thank you DDP for helping them to save themselves. Scott Hall my one wish is to meet you again and let me be there for you too. I love Scott Hall.
UK fan here. Not had any experience of the Real Sports show, but I really liked the way the interviewer talked about the 'artificial elements' of wrestling as opposed to calling it fake or a sham. The Resurrection of Jake The Snake was a beautiful, moving, honest and unflinching documentary which had me in tears several times and this segment did very well to cover that and DDP's general life quest for kindness.
The “it’s just the way I am” part got me tearing up man. Can’t thank DDP enough for finding himself and miraculously having the will and ability to help other s
Bless your heart Dally Page, I have struggled w addiction before, your a true friend to those guys. Much love for you three...I grew watching you guys.
As a lifelong wrestling fan this is a true feel good story to follow. Jake hasn't looked this good in a longtime. The fact that Scott Hall is still alive, and sober, is quite an accomplishment in and of itself. But to see the student not forget who his mentor is and become the mentor is saving his life makes Dallas a man who has earned respect.
This year two time Hall of famer Scott Hall passed away but that day I say legends never die still I'm looking back old videos of him and his friends
I've been doing Yoga for many years now, and Dallas Diamond Page is the real deal.
I was a fan whenI tuned into WcW back when it was free on UKTV under channel 5. Then when you debuted on Raw my eyes nearly burst from my head when you were the stalker. Your Yoga has helped the level of bend in my knees to no end. And what you have done for these two great performers is beyond belief. DDP you are truly are a diamond, and I thank you for some great wrestling moments, your yoga plan and the positive attitude that radiates from you. Your someone anyone could look up too.
DDP and Jake... you guys are awesome. Don't want you to think I'm a stalker or anything but you are so inspiring and not just about what friends do for each other, but creating your own destiny! Yes!!
u could stalk me :P
+Kenny Ryan lol
Thank you so much, DDP. I loved Jake Roberts as a kid and I love him even more now. 🐍❤️ A survivor.
Proud of Jake and Scott. takes an unbelievable amount of strength to change
mark arney Word to Big Bird. As soon a changer messes up, out come the pointy judgmental finger. It is not easy to change.
Thank u DDP for helping people get there life back,,u have also given me a new outlook on life and help me get off pain killers and finally waking up in the morning and being able to look at myself in the mirror and loving myself..Love u for that DDP
DDP is the man!! He deserves a medal for what he's doing with these guys!!
DDP is was and always will be awesome thank you for this great video 🤔🧐🤘Jake Roberts is a great inspiration to me for never giving up no matter what Scott Hall is a honest great person and the friendship between these three is awesome and very special thank you for this video 🤔🧐🤘
This shit made me cry. DDP’s a hero, what a wonderful man ❤️🙏🏻
blew out my back when i was 27, worked construction, played football, did mma. It was so bad I couldn't stand up straight. I tried ddp yoga and IT WORKS, it WILL hurt the first few times you do it. STICK WITH IT. it will work. Now my back pain is almost gone and manageable, no surgeries, no injections, nothing. without this i never woulda been able to pickup my kids or play with them. Thank you to DDP and Yoga Doc for making this. If im ever in the same room with DDP i will wait in line nonmatter how long just to thank him. STOP PROCRASTINATING, STOP COMPLAINING, JUST TRY IT
God bless you DDP. You'er a wonderful person.
I had to come back to here to see Scott Hall getting better as sadly he was taken from us last night…R. I.P. Razor Ramon!
DDP deserves as many accolades as there are possible. Jake and Scott look EVEN BETTER than in the video since this was aired!
I know this is a few years old but I'm so happy for these guys, especially Scott. I almost cried when he gave his Hall of Fame speech. I was such a big fan of him in his heyday and I'm so proud he was able to climb out of that dark place he was in for so long.
Thank you DDP for saving someone I watched during the 80's. You've helped so many people get through the bull@#$% and back on their feet. You are a true savior
God bless you DDP. As a WWE fan, I'm so happy to see such legends like Jake and Scott getting their lives back on track!
I'm so happy that DDP was my favorite wrestler as a kid. In a world filled with Sunnys and Hogans, DDP is still here to keep it real and be an apparently decent guy.
2020 and so happy that these guys are still with us! Thank you DDP for helping them out.
DDP for Hall of Fame class of 2014
Great shout sir.
These are my school, with a tag like evenflow as in ravens evenflow ddt, another jake the snake pupil and old pal of ddp, these are for sure my school..
And seeing this video knowing what page has done for these pair, is nothing short of a miracle..
i know how bad jake was, and hall too, scott levy has been down that path a lot.
and how many have died, davey boy smith was from my town..so sad
but at the end of the day ddp is a absolute legend for this, vince would never have had jake back.
that says a million things really..
DDP and MACHO hall of fame 2014...

What an amazing and inspirational story! God bless the three of them.
Keep up the great work, DDP, Razor and Jake!
I've been a wrestling fanatic since I was 5 years old. I've watched and loved all of these guys since the beginning. And I have bought DDPs dvds. I lost 59 pounds on them as well. They are truly great. And I hope that anyone who has gotten I to this,the greatest success
DDP is really a blessing from God
God bless DDP. How many people have you heard of that actually go in and personally save people's lives? Amazing. Such an inspiration.
Diamond Dallas Page is a real God, angel, live savior, guardian and your salvation, stay safe and healthy and save others because you're one of the healthiest people on the planet and can save others.
God bless Jake and Scott for being brave and doing it and god bless DDP for bringing them back. This was real emotional to watch, the tears were freefalling. All the very best to you legends 🤘🤘
DDP has a special place in Heaven! This guy is a tough angel!
I will forever love and respect DDP, this world needs more people like you.
I love Jake the Snake Roberts... A true humble human being.
Ddp had a great career but what he's done outside especially with Scott and Jake is so much more inspiring. I remember watching that documentary with tears in my eyes
Proud of Jake and Scott for finally getting clean and moving forward positively with their lives.
Very inspirational. It goes to show that it's never too late to turn your life around for the better.
It's sad watching Scott Hall's segments now...
I know what you mean 💔
God bless this family. DDP, Scott, Jake. All the best to you. Much love, may you continue to outlast your troubles and find happiness.
Bless ddp prayers go up to Scott hall 🥺♥️
I'm glad that there are people out there that have enough respect to help one another on friendship alone. Friendship is a hard thing to come by these days. I like to watch DDP, Jake, and Scott hanging out and seeing there friendship blossom.
So awesome bro! You are doing such great work!
Godbless DDP man these guys were my heroes when i was a kid and they are alive because of God and him.
I cant stop crying.....Among us there is always somebody ready to rescue us...... do not feel ashamed to ask for help
Diamond Dallas Page, this is an awesome documentary. You are truly a savior, bro.
I've always been a huge fan of all three when y'all wrestled in the WWE & WCW. I remember when Scott Hall made an appearance on TNA and he was looking weak. But to see him in the ring with his buddy, Kevin Nash, was great and it brought back memories.
As for Jake "the Snake" Roberts, I watched him begin his stardom in Mid-South back in the early 80's. I remember when he won the Louisiana championship from Larry Mantel. His career soared from then on. I first saw his downfall on the wrestling documentary, "Beyond The Mat" and it was painful to see.
The help that you gave to Hall and Roberts is unmeasurable. And I say HELP because they made the 1st step to accept that help from you. Great job and I applaude all 3 of you.
Inspirational,kudos to DDP and that old footage was the best!
Man, to believe the changes those two guys went through.. Truly unbelievable.
i dont know if ddp will see this. that is besides the point.
but i must say that seeing this touched me..big time.
i grew up watching these legends every Friday and Saturday night, with my dad (a cup of tea and rich tea biscuits at the ready)
these were and are and will always be heroes to me!!! they hold a special place in my heart..forever..
DIAMOND DALLACE PAGE you are an angel and maybe your really purpose on this world was for this moments! God bless you for helping and saving your fellow angels. broken people are not bad people they just need help!! what a job you are doing.
JAKE THE SNAKE God bless you and i will pray a thousand times for you. that is a promise. search your heart and find the innocent you before life took away all of the innocence, now look at you...so beautiful so true, now that is the real you...the evil things people did to you fuck them..theirs only one place they are going and that is hell fire!! not you! Jake. I see you. you have a good heart. im not preaching but God knows that. I know that your fans know that.
RAZOR REMON/SCOTT HALL! seeing you and hearing your story made me water up even more. you are and will always be my greatest wrestler!! so cool so slick,confident and you just looked hard lol. As a child I wasn't the most outwardly confident person i was more quite and shy. but i developed into a quietly confident being. and that, when i think about it, is because i looked up and sort inspiration from you! you was and still are every thing i want to be as a man. and what i mean by that is that you set out to achieve your goals and not only did you do that, you conquered it.
life has beat you down struck you down and seeing you discuss this hit me hard because how can this happen to my heroes? the people i sort refuge in and the people i took confidence from? but i understand more than most how hard life can pound you! nor matter what your deepest darkest fears are Scott. you affected my life for the positive and that will live with me forever so i hope you take solace from that because you deserve to.
and to all of the wrestlers who are in the same position and for the ones who we have lost. in my heart you will live for ever and i think i speak for the rest of the people who you have touched.
some times i wonder if these legends know how much they have affected the life of so many truly appreciative individuals??
Well done DDP truly Well done. and thanks for saving my heroes and thank you my heroes for being open and accepting DDP.
love you all. peace and God bless.
jake taught me a lot about wrestling when he was over here in the uk and I enjoyed going round for dinner. helping him paint the house and doing the gardening for him and it makes me happy to see how he is today thank you DDP for giving jake the chance like he did me to learn from a master of the ring all respect to you
