Page has been a recognizable figure in the wrestling world for over three decades. He began his career in the American Wrestling Association as a manager in the '90s, per Fox Sports. He built "The Diamond Mine," a team of heavy hitters including top billings such as "The Diamond Dolls" and Scott "The Diamond Studd" Hall. After earning his marks in managing, Page decided to return to the wrestling stage full-time in 1994.
In 1998, he suffered a seemingly career-ending back injury. When the accident took place, Page had just nabbed a dream multi-million dollar deal set for three years, per the Atlanta Business Chronicle. This is when the world champion was introduced to yoga by his (now ex) wife. Page was initially hesitant, but over a period of just three weeks, he credited this modified version of yoga to changing his health for the better.
"I was very frustrated though, because the tapes I was watching, everybody was a stick figure," Page told Big Think. "No one was modifying any positions. So I had to figure that out." In 2002, he retired completely from wrestling and quickly shifted his focus to DDPYoga, then named "Yoga for Regular Guys," with Yu in 2005. In the years following his appearance on Shark Tank in 2014, Page has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
