@@JarodJoseph WHen he was moving to WWE during Invasion I'd bring him back as the Mortis pit fighter gimmick and transition him back to Kanyon later. That Boy George BS was a disgrace

DDP is a truly amazing individual. when I was younger I never would've guessed how selfless and caring he is towards people in real life. listening to the stories from people that have turned their life around with the help of his yoga program is tear jerking.

What an awesome tribute.. Love DDP !!! RIP Kanyon !!!

R.I.P Chris, you are missed greatly!

Was one of my favorite wrestlers back in WCW. Kanyon was so entertaining and innovative. Class act DDP for talking about him. I miss Kanyon, Kidman and wrestling from those days in general...Who betta than Kanyon?!? A lot fewer from that era then people realize...

whenever his time is up, DDP is going to Heaven on a first class flight ..... what a brilliant human being in general .... there's legitimate genius in this guy

I like how he mentioned Randy Savage, Wrath and Glacier. With DDP in the video, you have four of the unlockable characters in WCW vs. nWo World Tour. I know. I am a nerd for both video games and wrestling, but those N64 games are what made me interested in wrestling in the first place.

DDP Is one of the real ones. Talked about Chris when nobody else would in the WWE.

Dally, you are such a great mind and person, any time i feel like sad or depressed i come to just listen to you talk. RIP Kanyon

His Kanyon Cutter DDP gimmick was hilarious. Still remember it like it was yesterday. RIP Kanyon!

Kanyon was such an underrated and underutilized talent! He was one of my favourites!

I am a wrestler&I have tried to model myself after Kanyon. He was one of my favorite wrestlers that I idolized. I always found it a shame that he didnt get hire than he should have on the card til towards the end. But his in ring work I always admired&try to model myself after. I cried when I heard he had passed&how. I had had the pleasure of meeting him when I first started training. He gave me kind words&inspiration&made a crack at your expense. Jokingly of course. He will forever be missed.

Mortis was one of my favs! First great look but then the technical wrestling ability and he could also sell to help others look great. To hear he helped so many others makes me happy for him but also sad bc he did not get recognized! Thank you Kris Kanyon I miss you and thank you DDP! What class!

How did I go this long without knowing about this channel?!? Chris Kanyon is the unknown legend of wrestling and life. If you didn't see him, you had no idea how great he was. In the ring, out of the ring, as a performer, and as a person. I miss him greatly. Thanks for such an amazing tribute, DDP.

WWE killed his career, I loved his run as Mortis, and the world is much worse off without him, thankyou for the tribute video DDP, it means a lot to Chris's fans

Chris Kanyon you are missed very much. DDP thank you for the tribute. We miss you in the rin. No one does the Diamond cutter better then you.

RIP Kanyon One of my top favourite guys ever in professional wrestling, we used to mess around playing wrestling in high school, and I would always be "The Innovator of Offense", modelling myself exactly on Kanyon. And my first name is Chris too. Thanks for some amazing memories Chris Kanyon. Much love to you as well DDP, also one of my favourite wrestlers of the era along with Chris. Peace CJD

Mr Page comes across as 1 of the nicest guys u will ever meet. This was a great video, So good 2 c a wrestler b very positive. Respect Mr Page. Respect

I can see the hurt in your eyes bro, looks like it really hurt you to not be able to attend your friend Chris's funeral. I really liked him as a wrestler he was truly gifted. Beautiful words thanks for sharing them with all of us DDP. You da man bro

Chris Kanyon, one of my favorite WCW wrestlers.An amazing athlete that will be missed by all true wrestling fans

Great video. I don't know if you ever hear this but you were my favourite WCW wrestler. You were the first wrestler I won a belt with on WCW Thunder for the Playstation, unlocking Rey Mysterio Jr. in the process. I remember your work with Kanyon and always enjoyed the matches/segments. It's sad that he felt that he had to do what he did, but as you say, he's undoubtedly in a happier place now.

Great tribute, thanks DDP.

its a shame we're losing all these wrestlers like this, especially kanyon. if i ever get into wrestling...it'll be because of guys like you and chris.

I saw Kanyon live in Lexington Ky for WCW Thunder and I remember Perry Saturn acting like he was breaking ll his fingers and i just remember being so amazed at how he could take the pain lol but he was always awesome and i will never forget his days in "the flock"! RIP! Thanks for making this in honor DDP i am sure you were a hell of a great friend to him

"Who better than Kanyon?" Nobody. Rest in Peace Chris.

The Innovator of Offence. I really enjoyed his matches. RIP

Kanyon was one of my favorite wrestlers of that time. Completely unique and innovative. One of a kind and is missed. ***** you're a great man for all that you do and this video is a testament to that.

loved watching you and Kanyon work together in the ring.just watched you and chris vs Edge and Christian and wish those days were back.such a waste.

Thank you for paying tribute to a very deserving guy. I went to a WWE event during the invasion angle, and stayed in the arena after the show was over when the tear down was starting, and Kanyon came out afterwards to sign autographs and take pictures...the ONLY guy on the roster that did it that night. A very genuinely nice person and a hell of a wrestler. Very sad to see him go, but I'm glad he's getting the respect he deserves from his bros in the business. Who betta than Kanyon? NOBODY!

Thank you DDP, great stories and tribute.

Who better than Campagne Chris Kanyon? No one.

@Dallapage Wow, I wasn't aware of that. Usually Ireland trails behind with their versions of shows that started elsewhere so that's actually kinda cool. Oh don't worry, I'm definitely going to be checking out your site anyway as I simply dig your attitude. That enthusiasm is infectious!

Long live Chris Kanyon, DDP... Long live Chris Kanyon.

Kanyon was one of favorites, just like ddp and the Jersey Triad was great! Wish it had lasted longer, wish kanyon had gotten bigger pushes in wcw and wwf/e and of course i wish he was still here. R.I.P. Chris Kanyon, you were awesome.

DDP, thank you VERY much for this. I was totally unaware of the impact Kanyon had behind the scenes at WCW as well as the likes of Billy Kidman, who I always enjoyed watching. As I said on my FB and MySpace pages, I hope Chris Kanyon will rest in peace and find the peace of mind he could never could get here with us.

Much respect DDP. Really appreciate the insight and the tribute.

Rest I awesome jelly Chris Kanyon. I remember hearing this in high school. Absolutely horrible news.😢😔

Having just finished a few books that really show the darker side of wrestling, hearing DDP talk with such care and honesty about a much missed star like Chris Kanyon is really uplifting. We miss you Kanyon. Always will.

Thanks DDP for this great Tribute to Chris. We here at ACW were blessed to call Chris Kanyon a friend and were blessed to have him compete for ACW. He was a true lockeroom leader, and went out of his way to help guys on the roster. He will be missed!!!

Diamond Dallas, what you do with your life,and the hope and compassion you provide sponsoring ,motivating and basically caring for others is off the charts amazing . Enjoyed watching your wrestling career,but enjoying watching you help others so much more.Lost my older brother to alcohol,and have had my own battles.Thanks for all you do ,I've become a big fan .

Great video Diamond, thanks for giving some insight to a guy like Chris. I never knew him as much more than a performer, but it's awesome to to know how much influence he had on bringing in so many other great talents. Thank you for your thoughts.

Who better than DDP, to do a tribute for Chris Kanyon? I remember you both from WCW and your time in WWE, so I was upset too when I heard of his passing. Just seeing this video now though... A touching tribute. You are a true legend amongst men and you clearly have love for your peers and those who have unfortunately left this earth before us. Thank you for showing a deeply personal message. Much respect to you.

Dapper DDP In my mind will always have my respect for taking care of his friends and give the respect when its due. Bless you DDP and your whole family, the world could use more of you

Really awesome DDP... I didn't really follow Kanyon's career, but this was very deep and touching and got me teary eyed.

loved Kanyon growin up. great underrated wrestler.

Very emotional and inspiring tale about Kanyon. Thank you so much for relating that personal story to us DDP. You two were always enjoyable to watch in the ring and during promos.

Hey DDP...that was an awesome tribute!.. I still cant believe Chris is dead.. I just wish that whatever he was going through he would have had the willpower and self-control not to have killed himself. I feel horrible and devastated that I lost such a great friend and for the few yrs we knew eachother had such a great and crazy relationship, as friends. I wish i had been able to go to his wake as well.

DDP, This was super touching, bro. Kanyon deserves all of the praise he's been receiving, and then some. As a long time fan of both of you, this one really hit home. One of the most unique performers to ever grace the squared circle, and from a fan's perspective, one of the most exciting to watch. Back in '98, I remember marking out repeatedly as Kanyon busted out about 3 moves a match every week that I'd never seen. He is so hugely missed already. Who betta? Not too many, Chris. God bless...

Hey DDP. Just stumbled across this at work. Just want to say, its really cool of ya to write back to fans who watch this. Not alot of guys would do that. Shows what a class act ya are. Thanks for the memories bro.

Rest In Peace Chris Canyon. You will be missed

Very nice tribute Dallas, thanks for the memories Chris you'll be missed

Great Tribute DDP. Kanyon thought the world of you,and he considered you his best friend in the wrestling buisness. He told me you actually came up with the Mortis gimmick that broke him into wCw as a midcarder which eventually kicked off his career in wCw and WWE. I was a big fan of Kanyon's(especially Mortis)and he is the reason I became a wrestling fan to begin with.I stopped watching wrestling all together in 2002 when Kanyon was released. R.I.P Kanyon there is nobody better

I just stumbled on your KZread page. Dallas, you're one of the best in the ring. I've seen you in WCW (house shows, Nitro, etc) a few times. You & Chris's chemistry was perfect. What a pleasure to be able to talk to you. God bless.

The Jersey Triad ❤️

Hey DDP, much class in this tribute, great to see you again. Heard you are going to host the Monday Nitro dvd set coming soon. Man, they could not made a better choice. Much respect for you as one of the very few self accomplished stars WCW had. I'm glad WWE is finally recognising WCW and give you this opportunity instead of Nash or so, and this dvd will make the new generation see DDP as the people's champion you were . Greetings from Belgium. Chris

Those were some beautiful words! I just found your channel and I want to thank you for the many many amazing years of wrestling! You were a huge reason why I watched WCW. I would always consider Sting,Flair and you (DDP) the true STARS of WCW. I remember first watching you wrestle when you were fueding with Johnny B, Badd. Chris was an amazing wrestler. I always remember when he came out and destroyed Ravens Flock, I believe I have it saved in my favorites Thank you both for your amazing talent

Nice tribute. R.I.P Kanyon.

You guys played such a big part in my school/college life. Every Friday night it was me, my dad and my best friend playing Goldeneye, order afew pizzas to watch WCW with and then back to Goldeneye for hours. We used to ague over whether your music sounded like Nirvana or not. My biggest memory of Kanyon was when he got powerbombed off the top of the triple cell. My jaw hit the floor. That guy was awesome and did so much for wrestling. Thanks for the brilliant memories man

DDP and Kanyon; along with Bam Bam Bigelow. = Jersey Triad. Awesome wrestling stable. R.I.P Kanyon and Bam Bam. I marked for all 3 of these guys. Who betta than Kanyon!!!

good to see and hear ddp. always been a huge fan. R.I.P Chris Kanyon

This dude seems genuine as hell.

DDP your a cool guy bro, and Chris Kanyon one of my all time fav wrestlers R.I.P.

looks soo different without a beard dude, i became a fan on day 1 of seeing you and there need to be more wrestlers like you today. Hope you read this message DDP! BANG!

So sad that DDP is the last of The Jersey Triad. 3 great guys, 3 great wrestlers. RIP Bam Bam Bigelow and RIP Scott Kanyon.

Dude, I remember when I was all of nine years old watching you put the Diamond Cutter on Savage, Raven, Hogan, RodZilla, etc. and now I see you dressed nicely and clean shaven while I'm finishing college and I can't help but think to myself: "Wow, I take a nap and I wake up and find out that thirteen years have passed the scene is nothing like I'm used to." Anyway, it's gnarly to hear from ya again and keep repping Jersey like always in all that you do. Best of luck and you're a hero to me.

@weetodaman Exactly what I wanted to say summed up perfectly. My awareness of Kanyon wasn't huge but either way its a sad loss. I had tears too at the end. Nice to see such genuine feelings expressed by a real friend of the man. RIP Chris x

i miss watching ddp & kanyon wrestle together i miss the good ol days

I can't remember hearing anything about Kanyon's death. I literally screamed "what they fuck is this?" I can remember when you guys came to WWE and how I couldn't stand you but as I watched more WCW tapes and you became European Champion you became one of my favorites. I wish you'd have both stayed longer, but thanks for the memories. WHO BETTA THAN KANYON?!

RIP Kanyon. Thanks DDP.

DDP loved you as a kid bro.

OMG!!! ITS DDP. I LOVE YOU DDP. You are my all time favorite wrestler EVER.

Diamond Dallas Page & Chris Kanyon, fantastic workers together, including their feud with Kane & the Undertaker! The Cage match at SummerSlam 2001 is one of my favorite matches. From what I've seen, Chris Kanyon was very talented in the ring. DDP is the man! Would of loved to of seen you stay in WWE for longer and become World Champion again. The 90's and early 00's were the best days ever (the Golden Era) Hope you're well DDP, all the best. R.I.P Chris Kanyon! Sam

Great to see you on RAW again last night ! Heath Slater must secretly adore getting owned by the Legends every week.

Who better than Kanyon! RIP Chris and thank you.

RIP I'm fighting mental illness which is fighting real demons may you be in heaven with our Lord Savior Jesus The Christ 🙏 ☮️ my brother.

Chris was AWESOME

When I was still wrestling, I blatantly stole Kanyon's turnbuckle leg drop. Mortis was one of my favorite characters and Kanyon was one of the most underrated wrestlers ever. Thanks for posting this.

God Bless Kanyon it would have benn cool to see him and L.A. Park become a tag team

its sad that so many legends and current wreslters are dying god rest each and every one of them

I'm gonna say this right now. Maybe it's just me but DDP looks in great shape. He does do Yoga and that's probably why but man. He looks great. R.I.P. Chris Kanyon :(

I always felt like Kanyon had the ability to be World Champ if WCW had lived on. He was a fantastic talent and was a natural heel.

Thanks Page miss seeing you in the ring

God bless you kanyon,and thank you ddp,heartfelt!

nice tribute dallas, respect bro!

very good tribute to a friend, sorry for your loss.

I hear ya buddy! I had been into WWF since around WrestleMania III, but it wasn't until WCW Vs. nWo: World Tour came out on N64 that I got into WCW; it was best time to be a wrestling fan!

R.I.P. Chris Kanyon Wish you the best DDP.....

would just like to ur oh so true and he was one of my fav wrestlers his personality moves and all he was the man no one was better than kanyon

Great tribute dude

Hey Great Vid Dude And Yeah Kris Was The Best I Saw For a Long Time Will Be Missed Hoping To See U Back In Ring Until Then Trying DDPYoga And Loving All Of DDP Posts On KZread Keep Up The Good work @ Dallapage

A class act and I have to say one of the most inspiring figures not just of pro wrestling, but in life in general. This is a really nice thing you did here, kudos from Ireland/Northern Ireland [semantics]!

Dude, I almost didn't recognize you without the beard... Time flies, eh?

Does anyone know why in his retirement, DDP isn't still involved with a wrestling company in a non-wrestling role? He has already been a manager and would be great at doing that again. He could be a color commentor or a trainer. His personality would make TNA or WWE a lot better, and I think someone should hire him.

ur still a handsome man, DDP. RIP CK

RIP Kanyon no one is better than you

Kayon cutter for the win! Bang 💎 💥

I SAW YOU WRESTLE IN MACON GA BACK IN 95 AND 96 !

DDP vs Goldberg was great back in '98'

Who bettah than Kanyon? Who, indeed. R.I.P.

I always thought Mortis was a great gimmick. At least I thought the look was really great. It's a shame when truly great wrestlers like Chris aren't given the push they deserve and "5 move" bores who might be good on the mic are constantly given titles and main event status. Anyway, it really is a shame that Chris' bipolar issues got the better of him. I wish he had had someone there for him or some sort of help... I don't know. It really is a tragedy when anyone with so much to live for is defeated by mental health issues. RIP Chris.

I always liked him. Lots of moves and he pulled them off well. Before he died he was going on Howard Stern a lot. Not often that stern has the same guest multiple times per year. Always a good interview on there always interesting. Great guy all around. Shame his mental issues got the better of him. A moment of weakness and the world was robbed of not only a great wrestler but a great person too.
