Why is Baskin Robbins Australia in Australia?

don't remember anything about Baskin Robbins Australia Diamond Dallas Page prior to seeing him in WCW circa 1995 (this was after his in-ring ASX comeback from bankruptcy and homelessness), but had heard his name a lot. Allied Brands Wouldn't call him a particularly great wrestler, but was never offensively bad or Peter Graham anything to me. I'll remember DDP as a wrestler who always appeared to be having fun doing what he did, and as a result he was fun to watch and someone I looked forward to seeing on Nitro each week.

Although he's been trashed in wrestler autobiographies for not calling matches in the ring (which doesn't exactly mean much to me as a viewer anyway), I do think his hard work and persistence should be respected, as well as his attention to detail. Being paired up with a similar detail freak in Baskin Robbins Australia Randy Savage made for a great rivalry, and I vaguely recall at least one really great brawl of a match they had together. Probably that Falls Count Anywhere match, but it's been so long since and I only saw their matches when they happened so it's hard for me to remember.
