I used to hate him. He played the part so well. Seeing these videos...Ted is a good dude.!
Having a chance for one more ride on the lightening bolt that was being the FOURTH NwO member? On some Ted Turner guarantee money? Shit that was a jackpot for Ted.
Thank you so much Ted and Marcus for your time and support! Ted thank you for your time in the Wrestling business and all you did to entertain us fans! Thank you for everything!
I remember seeing Dibiase show up in WCW & it looked so strange, it was cool till Bischoff took his spot then they never really did much with Dibiase

It made a lot of sense even, thanks to his gimmick, the WWF connection and everything. Bankrupt Bischoff replacing him was lame but his brittle ego needed it i guess, when you're a failure in life, you grasp at straws and reach for the spotlight.

Yeah. Made no sense making him a babyface manager for The Steiner Bros.

Dibiase should have been the “Ted” Hogan was talking about as far as Hogan saying “Billionaire Ted wanted to talk Turkey with Hulk Hogan.”
Ted DiBiase is one of a kind, here's a man I HATED big time as a young lad growing up in the early 90s and now listening to these podcasts and wrestling almanac footage DiBiase is a top top man who loved the business. His character in the heyday of the late 1980's up to the mid 90s was so well portrayed that he really was the man we love to hate. Reality says otherwise.
Just wanna hear that million dollar laugh from my childhood!!! I absolutely loved Ted back n the day

Some of those guys Nash, Hall left probably because there gimmicks were running thin what next and Vince's pay rate is over a number of years Ted Turner was a bigger pay day and shorter time frame But WCW was a better fit for them anyway WCW was smaller promotion more of a low budget circus theme the story lines weaker the costumes not as good they were a step up from the independents not as well oiled or run like WWE. But I must say a lot of the bigger names that ended up there just looked out of place.
I'm tired hearing how these wrestlers were bored doing nothing and just collecting checks in WCW, what did they prefer, bashing their heads and destroying their bodies in WWF? Also, the NWO stuff was cool for the first few months then it got dumb as shit when all they did was flash 4 fingers in allegiance with the Wolf Pack.

WCW was WWFs Temu twin brother.
Ted would have been a great WWE champion because he is a great wrestler and a heel announcer.

Even the poor people got rooked by Teddy Ballgame.
Why would The Million Dollar Man come to WCW? Money. LOL what else would bring him? But his "I'm rich" gimmick doesn't work when a billionaire (also named Ted) owns the company. He should've been an announcer.

Both of Ted's sons, Ted himself, Brett Favre and others were all involved in some welfare scheme. Brett DiBiase pleaded guilty back in 2020. Ted Jr., Ted Sr. and the others are still pending it seems.

Few million, ted jr, and younger son brett. Ted stole 300 g for fake speaking engagements. Such a man of god. The sons are going to get 5-9 years. Ted pay back money, big fine, probation.
You have said numerous times that he can't stand wwf as he felt they were mocking God with Austin's 3:16. It's too late to chance your stripes, old man. Just admit the truth.
