The Diamond Dolls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Diamond Dolls were professional wrestling valets that accompanied Diamond Dallas Page to the ring in the American Wrestling Association and World Championship Wrestling.
[edit] History
When DDP was signed to appear as a manager in the AWA in 1987, he wanted to be over the top. So Page decided to bring along some "Diamond Dolls", pretty women who accompanied him to the ring. They would clean his rings and brush dirt off his coat and strut around the ring to distract his wrestlers' opponents. They were basically there to look good and give his wrestlers an edge.
Page's Diamond Dolls in the AWA were waitresses from his bar in Florida. They were Tonya G. (real name Tanya), Lee Ann and Wendy. Page claimed to have dated all of them and he says he did date Lee Ann in his biography, Positively Page. Tonya G. was the one that was always there. Page rarely had them all there at one time.
When Page arrived in WCW as the manager of The Diamond Studd and The Fabulous Freebirds, he brought a different Diamond Doll each week.
Page's wife, Kimberly Page, made her debut on April 6, 1991 on TBS as one of his Diamond Dolls (this is pre-implants Kimberly). When Page started wrestling, he did away with the Diamond Dolls. He brought them back in 1994 when Kimberly became his regular Diamond Doll. She first played a ditzy bimbo but quickly changed to the innocent disapproving of his cheating ways type character. In 1995, she left Page when Johnny B. Badd freed her from Page in a match.
The Diamond Doll name was not used after that as Kimberly went by her first name until leaving the sport in 2000.
