2017 WWE Hall Of Fame inductee, Diamond Dallas Page, recently joined Fightful.com’s “The List and Ya Boy” podcast. During the podcast, Page stated that he made WWE aware that his Hall Of Fame speech would require an extended time limit as he wanted to thank everyone who contributed to his career and WWE agreed to extend Page’s time.
Page: “I probably rewrote that speech, I bet I rewrote it a hundred times. I knew I had to be somewhere around fifteen minutes to twenty minutes. When I told them it might go as long as twenty-six twenty-seven, you know WWE is going to want to hear what you’re going to do. When they heard what I had planned and how I was going to do the voices, they were like ‘keep it under thirty and you’re good. I knew it was funny, I knew it was heartfelt. I knew people were going to cry, I knew they were going to laugh. The most important thing was I wanted them to be inspired.”
