DDP On His Professional Wrestling Career

DDP is a former professional wrestler and 3 time world champion.

DDP joined Ed and Steve to discuss his career and his work with DDP yoga.

Steve asked DDP about how his career began. DDP noted that he was a late bloomer in the sport of professional wrestling, "I tried when I was 22 and it just didn't work out for me. Finally, I got a shot in WCW as a manager and 5 months in they said that I couldn't stay as a manager anymore. I never dreamed of being a manager I dreamed of being a wrestler. In three months from that point I was in the ring wrestling."

Ed asked DDP about how he got involved in DDP yoga and what it is. DDP explained that he discovered it on accident after suffering a serious back injury, "I blew my back out really bad. I came across this power yoga tape. I figured out how to make modifications where I would mix yoga with rehab. With DDP yoga were not just stretching were strengthening muscles and tendons. Completely by accident I developed DDP yoga. In less than three months I was back in the ring."

DDP went on to discuss his website DDPyoga.com, the resurrection of Jake "the Snake" Roberts, and the workshop that he will be hosting in Timonium.
