There have been a lot of great sells of DDP‘s Diamond Cutter over the years, but he believes one WCW star surprisingly sold it better than anyone.
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently sat down with CasinoBeats. When asked who sold the Diamond Cutter the best, DDP said it was former UFC and WCW star Tank Abbott.
“Ah, God. There were so many good ones. But I literally have to say Tank Abbott,” DDP said. “And Tank Abbott was an MMA fighter who came in, legitimate badass dude, and the Diamond Cutter was a shoot hold. One of your brothers, Stephen Regal, the great Lord Stephen Regal, who was one of the best technical wrestlers, maybe ever, but definitely in that top 1%.
“But there’s a hold that you craft. It’s not like a headlock. It’s reversed, and it’s a cravat. And if I put you in that cravat and you don’t go, you are going anyway. And Tank happened. When I went, I don’t think he was ready because I came down, his feet went straight up, and he came down flat. I was just happy that he was a tough son of a bitch because that could do some serious damage. And I tell him, if you don’t go, you are going anyway. He was pretty devastating looking.”
