Ted Dibiase - The Reason Why I Quit WCW Wrestling
Ойын-сауық
Ted Dibiase discusses why he decided to quit WCW Wrestling after being one of the first members of the NWO. Stream the Full Shoot Interview 📺 TitleMatchNetwork.com
Former WWF/WCW star and WWE Hall of Famer Ted Dibiase talks about how he ended up in World Championship Wrestling, his time in the NWO faction and what made him ulimately decide to quit.
Ted would find himself managing the Steiner Brothers for a bit and bouncing around the promotion but it was when Eric Bischoff joined the NWO that he knew there wasn't much left for him.
Dibiase says here in the interview that with no disrepect, he didn't wrestle for 20+ years to be Hulk Hogan's belt boy every week.

I know how Ted feels. When I worked at Burger King the electricity went out and we had to close the store for a few hours until the power came back on. I was still on the clock and my boss wanted me to sweep and clean the kitchen while we waited. I told him he should just send me home and still pay me. The nerve of my boss to expect me to sweep. I didn't work the grill for 20 years to clean the kitchen and sweep the floor.
Another Charlotte boy. We used to see him in restaurants and out shopping a few times. This man has a sharp mind. The 1970s-80s and 90s were great times for pro-wrestling fans in Charlotte, NC!
Thank goodness he shielded his son from smut otherwise he could have grown up to be one of those people that steals money that's supposed to go to low income families in need.

Turner bought the talent over from WWF; Bischoff didn’t do anything to properly manage that talent. He let Hogan, Nash, and Hall run the locker room to the detriment of the other talent. If he came up with the NWO angle, he again didn’t know how to write for it. After awhile everyone was NWO. Goldberg was the only talent they developed - and not very well

Should've never signed Bret Hart. The moment Bret was out of the picture and Austin got the belt, it was a wrap for WCW. Had Hart stayed, he would've caused massive internal drama with his constant whining that Vince couldn't have put them on the right course

@Andy-ty6gv , I agree it got watered down but they also made it so confusing wearing red and coming out to old music. I was at the Georgia Dome Jan 4 ‘99 and the crowd was pissed, it was bad bad heat, not good heat. A we felt ripped off heat. Came back 6 months later July 5 ‘99 and there was half the crowd there, literally half the crowd. Even had MegaDeath perform after and fell flat. I just wish someone besides WWE had been able to hold onto to the WCW brand for the future comebacks. Now like Vince said, he’s putting it on the shelf.
He seems like a good man
Ironic that Eric is now making his money by criticizing Tony Kahn for the same things that Eric was critiqued for by Ted.

@@derekazyan9942I agree. The finishes killed the product more than anything. Had they did right by the fans, Eric wouldn't have been sent home and Russo wouldn't have gotten that spot. He might've stayed in the WWE and this business could be different right now. Who knows... But great point about the finishes.
Dibiase: "All Eric (Bishoff) was interested in doing, was putting Vince out of business, I said 'Eric, Vince is never going away". One of the reasons WCW went out of business was that instead of focusing on what they were doing, Eric was more concerned to take shots at and laugh at WWF. Well guess who got the last laugh Eric?

Because some people actually want to have a purpose life, especially when they're only in their 40s ....think of the position he was in...a top guy to holding a belt? I don't blame him... I'd rather make a smaller amount of money for doing something I enjoyed than making a lot for doing something I hated.
