Diamond Dallas Page recently talked at length about his friends (and DDP Yoga proteges) Scott Hall and Jake Roberts getting into the WWE Hall of Fame. In a separate interview, DDP also discussed the Ultimate Warrior's death and slammed Nancy Grace for setting him up the day he appeared on her show.
DDP's harsh comments to Nancy Grace were made on The Unisputed Radio Show. According to Lords of Pain and as seen in the audio clip below, DDP stated:
"First of all, I wanted to leave. Oh my god, this woman was so nice to me when I walked in there. Once she started hitting me with that deal, I got scared. I go 'Oh my god, she set me up, so should I get up and walk away? How is that going to make the business look?' I breathed, I focused on breathing...The only thing I could think of at that time was that WWE has the best wellness program, better than the NBA, NFL, MLB, so I think that is fighting for the company.
"I thought about firing back at her, but it was a really weird situation. I can't put that b--ch over. I can't talk about her anymore, I want to strangle her. The last thing I want to be is in that position. The way it was told to me is that I saw four questions. I said 'I don't know about this' and Nancy Grace said 'No, it's gonna be a feel good piece.' When I walked in there, she was so sweet to me. She totally set me up."

Then, after being asked about the graphic of dead wrestlers that crawled across the screen during the Nancy Grace segment, the outspoken DDP finished off his comments towards her by stating, "I never saw that! That totally blindsided me. I will never do that b--ch's show again, I can guarantee you that!"
As for Scott Hall and Jake Roberts' WWE Hall of Fame inductions, DDP was very proud of how far they've both come and he also spoke about his friendship with Ultimate Warrior in an interview with Wrestling 365 as reported by ProWrestling.net:
"The Hall of Fame was really cool, getting there was the journey, the whole thing with Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and Scott Hall. It was great to see both those guys be inducted, they both put a lot of work in. It's one of those things, so many people bring it up, you get to the end and go, okay we got here, awesome, dreams do come true, but both of those guys are still addicts, so they fight it daily.
"I've had people come up to me and say dude you've cured Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and I'm like what?, no, I never did that. All I did was help him, guide him and put him in a positive environment. Jake could fall down tomorrow and he does from time to time. He doesn't live with me anymore, I can't be his keeper, I just hope he can stay on the right track, but someone like Jake or Scott, either one of those guys could fall and hopefully not too far, because we can fall too far and then the promoters and everyone don't want to deal with that stuff, but as of right now, it was a glorious moment."

About Ultimate Warrior's praise for his work with Hall and Roberts, DDP said:
"I saw him at WrestleCon last year and we talked for a little bit and he was so blown away by what I was doing with DDP Yoga and Scott and Jake and he said, you're doing God's work man. He's a big God man, I am too, I'm not the big preacher guy, but I'm a big God man. For him to give me the shoutout at the Hall of Fame for him being inducted, not once, not twice, but like 4 times and it was a little tongue-in-cheek funny, but he respected what I was doing. I never got a chance to thank him for that, because that was just so cool of him to do that."
