MikeJordan23 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2005 http://nodq.com/wwe/135652687.shtml Former WWE Superstar Diamond Dallas Page recently filed a federal lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z for trademark infringement. The "Diamond Cutter" hand symbol has been being used by Jay-Z on some of his products some including CD covers entitled "The Dynasty: Rock La Familia 2000" and "Jay-Z Fade To Black" DVD, which was released this past April. When Dallas Page was in WCW back in 1996, its when he was first using the hand signal. Since that time he has been using it professionally for his wrestling and entertainment ventures. On the cover of Page's new book, "Yoga For Regular Guys" it also features the symbol. The hand symbol is kind of like a logo to him, hence the lawsuit.

Guest SavageRulz Report post Posted December 4, 2005 I don't get why the wrestling business is turning into the lawsuit crybabies as of late? DDP releases a book about Yoga and then sues Jay-Z over a hand gesture? His book isn't doing that bad, and DDP was supposedly one of the wrestlers that had money to burn after WCW closed. Unless Kimberly finally filed for divorce and wanted everything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
