In the most bizarre story since Michael Jackson’s “Jesus juice,” former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page is suing rap mogul Jay-Z over a hand gesture.

When DDP wrestled for WCW and WWE, he put his thumbs and index fingers together to form a diamond, a sign he called the “diamond cutter.”

It’s a similar sign Jay-Z uses to promote anything to do with Roc-A-Fella Records. The whole Roc roster, including Kanye West, also uses the symbol.

DDP claims the sign is an extension of who he is, so he filed a lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles Federal Court, accusing Jay of trademark and copyright infringement as well as misappropriation of the hand symbol, according to MTV.

Page wants some money but is also looking for an injunction, meaning Jay-Z and friends would need to find a new symbol if he lost the case.

Page’s lawyer, George Gallegos, told MTV that he approached Jay-Z’s lawyers before he filed the suit, but ? and here’s the best part?his lawyers fired back, suggesting it was Page who stole Jay-Z’s sign!

Page retired from wrestling in 2002, posting a message with the announcement on his web page. That’s the same web page where you can find Page’s logo (the diamond cutter) and a picture of his latest book, which features Page wearing a shirt that has the logo.
