Hey Guys, I have got HUGE news, we have a brand new DiamondDallasPage.com site up and rolling and it is the coolest site I have done to date. Mostly because it is 6 sites in one. The first site on there that I want to talk about is TeamYRG. What is TeamYRG? It is a community that helps encourage others along their YRG journey by sharing their stories. Think of it as a support team. We've been doing it for some time on Yrgworkout.com and this just seemed like the next evolution. TeamYRG is made up of Regular Guys / Gals that made a decision to Own their Lives with YRG. Now you can share your story and inspire others to achieve their goals. As a member you get your own customizable page, blog, and friends list. So don't be afraid to reach out and ask someone for advice or encouragement ... TeamYRG gives you new tools to share your stories and interact with all the other members of Team YRG. Your profile is your home in the TeamYRG. Upload your very own picture gallery, set your preferences, even design the look of your profile! Your friends can leave you comments on your profile, and you can leave comments on theirs! Click on someone's profile to make a connection (add as a friend) so you can easily find them later. Here is an example of the kind of posts that we are getting: "Thanks for YRG. Did the 20 minute workout yesterday, and it was great, got my 8 year old son and wife to join in! Thought my son kept saying "Dad you sure your not going to hurt yourself! ha" It was funny. And thanks for the motivational CD. Again was listening to "Own your life" with my son on the way home, by the time we got home he had, on his own, written down that this year he wanted to be on the A/B honor roll at school, and to get his presidents physical fitness certificate! And when i asked him if he was going to do this, he remarked, Dad failure is not an option! I said I love that attitude! I always tell him that I don't always expect him to be perfect, but I always want him to give his all. And I would be honored to add you to my friends list." How do I become a Member TeamYRG? Simple, if you have purchased a YRG Fitness and you wanna become part of the team just come by and sign up... or join now and go get your YRG workout at the YRG Store! Another section of the DiamondDallasPage.com site is my brand new Actor site where you can see pieces of my work on my acting reel or media reel... You will find projects I have worked on in the past and info on new releases that aren’t out yet. Speaking of acting, I just filmed an independent movie in Detroit called "Red and Blue Marbles" where I played a bartender which was a real stretch for me since I grew up in the bar business... Ha! Another acting role I am in the process of just finishing up is for John Schneider, aka JRS (Dukes of Hazard, Smallville and Nip Tuck) for his new TV show he's filming on Catalina Island called “26 miles”. I play a guy named Harry Connor who is a very colorful character who thinks of himself as more of a pirate. "26 miles" is an hour long, fun comedy that is really well written and has a lot of great actors. It was tailor made for JRS who is the star, and I have been friends with for quite some time now. A lot of people in Hollywood will tell you it is who you know and who knows you…I believe it is all about who is willing to say they know you and put their names on the line for you. JRS put his name on the line for me because he had seen pieces of my work and knew as a personality I would be perfect for the part…I never even auditioned for the part but, I put a lot of work into the character Harry Connor and after the first day of shooting the writers and directors where very happy with what I came up with... I sure as hell didn't want to make JRS look bad for stepping up for me. One of the sweet extras is, Harry, who is an ex Vietnam Vet and a little wild and crazy, does YRG and they worked it right into the show... Check out pics on the site. Click here for the pics I also have a brand new Inspirational Speaker site. You want to see me, DDP inspire people and move them to action…well you will find that and more on this site. My latest speaking gig was for 15 dealerships owned and operated by Jim Click... of Jim Click Automotive in Arizona. Here I combined my concept of “Living Life at 90%” and took them through a special breakout presentation of the YRG Workout. Equally as inspiring both mentally and physically. The responses we have gotten back from this speaking engagement are incredible. Here is a response that was sent to my booking partner Marlon at DDPSpeaks.com To: Marlon Ransom <marlon@ddpspeaks.com> Went into the class very much against the idea. After spending time listening to DDP's story and being in his class, was very pleseantly suprised. My wife and ordered the fat burner cd and are currently on our second week of use. While my eventual goal was to become much more flexable and then loose some weight. I skipped my weight lifting for two weeks and only did DDP's fat burner, tonight was my first time back to lifting and while I still have a long way to go on flexability, my strengeth was up and weight was dow. Thanks for the lessons to DDP's and his crew. If you want to book me for an inspirational speaking gig click here After I finished the Inspirational speaking gigs at Click automotive I went of to U of A (University of Arizona) and took their new young QB Matt Scott and one of the coaches Kris Heavner and a few other guys through the YRG Workout. From what Kris tells me, some of the other players have added YRG to their workouts as well... just like Georgia Tech football, basketball and golf teams have. Yoga Doc actually teaches those classes when they aren't using the Regular Guys DVDs. Even the Tennessee Vols football team are doing the YRG DVDs. Check out this article and soundbite from the Vols strength coach Johnny Long. The really cool part is I never even meet the guy... YET... but I plan on it! If you're reading this in Tennessee tell Johnny to drop me an email! Talk to you soon Johnny! CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE If you push play here you can even hear the strength coach being interviewed about YRG and DDP And last but not least for all you Wrestling fans out there I have brought back one of my original DDP wrestling website sites designed by the web genius who started it all Rick Schmick... It's the same OLD SCHOOL DDP wrestling website (1996 - 2000) with just a little bit of a face lift from our new webmaster Robert McLearren that will walk you down memory lane with a BANG! Some of the best parts of the new version of this site are the You Tube videos that are posted... I actually added some behind the scenes commentary of what you are about to watch or what led up to it. We will be constantly adding Old School wrestling footage and pictures to this site. If you have any Old School pics from my wrestling days then send your pictures to webmaster@DiamondDallasPage.com Eventually we will have a “fans pics” section on the website. Don’t forget that we have extended the Free Own Your Life offer with any YRG DVD purchase at the YRG Store. We have started filming the YRG infomercial and it is incredible. A lot of this has to be kept under wraps until it launches but check out some of the GREAT pics on the site. YRG is going to change the World and maybe the Universe! It's been your pleasure... as well as mine! DDP DiamondDallasPage.com YRG 4 Life!

Do you feel Lucky? Hey Guys You're damn right I do. Why? because I not only got to see one of my hero's Clint Eastwood honored at the screening of the Original Dirty Harry but I got to meet him and even get a picture with him... and NO I didn't have the balls to ask Dirty Harry to do the Diamond Cutter with me... Ha! Obviously I am a HUGE mark for the guy... GO figure... Clint... Wayne and Ali... one name says it all... Legend... Another legend I got to meet was Jon Voight. For a kid who grew up in the 70’s to have been lucky enough to not only hang with but also talk to the Midnight Cowboy and Dirty Harry on the same night was way to cool. After the screening they gave everybody a 44 Magnum made of chocolate. If you get a chance to pick up this series it is definitely worth the buy. Warner Brothers is releasing the Dirty Harry Franchise today on the new blu-ray HD disc. I wanna thank Tim Sullivan (Director Driftwood) and PR Queen Jennifer Gonzalez for the hook up... Way more Pictures on site.   Let’s start with some old news first. We had our first YRG Certification course last month. The YRG Certification Course was not only was this a learning experience for my students it was a great learning experience for me as well... It was also a chance for everyone to meet some of the most recognized YRG members…Terri, Dylan and Arthur. After our first session which was about 7 hours, one of the attendees, Eric Bischoff’s son Garrett, pulled me aside and said he wanted to catch up since we haven’t seen each for years. What I didn’t realize he was doing was keeping me busy while my girl Angella was putting together a surprise party for my 52nd B-Day. It was a great party and even Stone Cold Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff showed up. Pictures on the site at www.DiamondDallasPage.com After the final 7 hours of YRG training on Sunday we handed out the YRG Certificate Of Completion. I want to thank Kimberly for coming out from Salt Lake City, I couldn’t have done it without her…and Yoga Doc was sorely missed but was sick. Our next Certification course will take place after our National launch of YRG which should be January 2009. Not only did our youngest YRG Certification member, 16 year old Dylan Frymyer, pass the YRG Certification course but he also surpassed the 100 pound weight loss barrier in 10 months. At 5’7” he dropped from 292 pounds to 192 pounds and is strong as an Ox. Now he is wrestling Indy shows and can be seen with Steve Corino in the Northeast. (what is Corino’s show called). Dylan is truly living his dream with YRG. Check out Dyaln’s link to see his journey www.myspace.com/yrgdylan Each email I want to mention some of the top You Tube videos that are posted. Dylan created a great one with some of the best Diamond Cutters ever called ... Diamond Cutter on Everyone http://youtube.com/watch?v=b3yx4-Po1iw Yeah Dylan lost 100 pounds with YRG but 15 year old Tyler Page gained 20 pounds of muscle and his brother 14 year old Christian Page gained 50 pounds of muscle... YEAH I said Muscle in one year with YRG and my way of eating for Mass and Health. I have been working with both of the Page brothers to achieve their goals for a little over a year now. All 3 of these kids understand that WORK ETHIC = RESULTS and to say I am proud of them would be an understatement. Check out the Page bros site and see their journey. Just want to remind you guys if you want to catch DDP Live then come over the Sports Park in Playa Vista on Saturday mornings at 10 am or Equinox at 7:15 pm in Santa Monica, CA on Monday nights. Or if you work for Warner Brothers you can catch me on the basketball court every Tuesday night at 6:30 doing YRG. You can always see the schedule at www.YRGWorkout.com under YRG class schedule Got to see one of the best playoff games ever, Game 1 Lakers vs. Spurs in Los Angeles. Kobe didn’t show up in the first half and the Lakers were down by 20 in the third quarter… but he sure as hell showed up in the second half and scored 29 making the it one of the best comebacks in Lakers history. My good buddy Chris Click hooked us up 6 rows center court across from Jack Nicholson. What a game! Coming Soon: We are developing a whole new DDP Website which will literally be 4 sites in one. Fitness Guru/YRG Workout, Inspirational Speaker, Actor and some of my past old school wrestling sites. That's right we are bringing back some of my old school wrestling websites it should be like going through DDP’s time vault from 1996 to 2003. This is when Rich in KC, Rich Schmick, wrote the first Diamond Cutter email which was him interviewing me... I let you know when it's ready... Wrestling Question of The Month I want to try to start answering 1 question each email that you guys ask me repeatedly: This one came in from Shawn Manfredo: I need to know that when DDP was down in the dumps back in his WCW days and he was losing all his money and had to sell off his tights and such. Then a limo picked him up and a "benefactor" got him his back on his way. Who the benefactor was? This was never resolved. The mystery still haunts us to this day I got to tell you that is one of the most frequently asked questions…EVER! I literally would have arguments with Eric Bischoff telling him we needed to answer this question. He told me we didn’t…he told me NOBODY CARES. He was wrong then and he is still wrong today… Ha! There are a chosen group of people, like Shawn, who really give a damn. So who was the benefactor…since I am really the only one who knows…it was always Kimberly. The answer could have been that simple and gave everyone the closure they were looking for! As usual it was your pleasure... as well as mine... DiamondDallasPage.com YRGworkout.com YRG 4 Life!

For those of you who wonder why they should support our Troops read this and remember this... this is what they do... You stay up for 16 hours They stay up for days on end. You take a warm shower to help you wake up. They go days or weeks without running water. You complain of a 'headache', and call in sick. They get shot at as others are hit, and keep moving forward. You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. They still fight for your right to wear that shirt. You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. You talk trash about your 'buddies' that aren't with you. They know they may not see their buddies again. You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. They patrol the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. You complain about how hot it is. They wear heavy gear, and don't dare to take off their helmets to wipe their brows. You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. They might not get to eat today.   Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes. He wears the same things for weeks, but make sure his weapon is clean. You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today. You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home. You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume. You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet. You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting. You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him. He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded. You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the broken bodies lying around him. You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. They do exactly what they are told even if it puts their lives in danger. You stay at home and watch TV. They take whatever time they are given to call, write home, sleep, and eat. You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable. They try to sleep but get woken by mortars and helicopters all night long. If you support your troops, send this to 7 people. If you don't support your troops well, then don't send this out. You won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't have the worst day ever.You don't have to email this. It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights. REMEMBER our Troops, and do not forget them LATER Lest we forget - KEEP THE CHAIN GOING Fallen HERO SGT Christopher C. Simpson USA... RIP GOD BLESS THE GOOD GUYS HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE DiamondDallasPage.com YRGworkout.com YRG 4 Life!
