Bill Moseley looks back on working with Diamond Dallas Page during the filming of Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects.
When people think of Diamond Dallas Page in a movie, they most frequently think of ready to rumble featuring David Arquette. However, DDP was in other films including Rob Zombie’s cult classic, The Devil’s Rejects.
One of the stars of that film was Bill Moseley. Portraying Otis, one of the three main characters of the film, Bill Moseley got into a confrontation with DDP’s character, Billy Ray Snapper, and was thrown out the window of Charlie’s Fun Ranch.
Speaking with Coming Soon’s Tyler Treese, Moseley had nothing but kind words about working with the former WCW World Champion.
“That’s a good question. He was fun. At one point, uh, I get thrown out the window at Charlie’s Fun Ranch, and I come out of the window and I roll up to Diamond Dallas’ feet. I get up on my hands and knees. He’s supposed to kick me in the ribs. So he did kick me in the ribs and it hurt. Because I didn’t have a pad. So I said “ow,” and so they said, “okay, okay, let’s do one more take and get you a pad this time.” So I got a pad but the pad was kind of like a piece of plywood [laughs]. Then we did another take and he kicked me again thinking he could kick a little harder because I had a pad now, but it just really hurt. It hurt more. I cherished that. Fortunately, the pain subsided after a few months, but [I cherished] that I was kicked in the ribs by a heavyweight champion.”
While Hollywood was never the main destination for Diamond Dallas Page, he would go on to have major success outside of wrestling due to his DDPY yoga program.
