Ted DiBiase on WHY he Left for WCW in 1996

[@Bossman525]

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.

[@mattyx25]

I used to hate him. He played the part so well. Seeing these videos...Ted is a good dude.!

[@jeffswanson4594]

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!

[@JD0586]

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.

[@jerrymarshall5965]

Just wanna hear that million dollar laugh from my childhood!!! I absolutely loved Ted back n the day

[@curthennig9448]

The state of Mississippi doesn't want to hear it anymore!

[@redfire2987]

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

[@ShadowAngel-lt8nw]

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.

[@jamalabdelbaset6635]

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

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

Dibiase should have been the “Ted” Hogan was talking about as far as Hogan saying “Billionaire Ted wanted to talk Turkey with Hulk Hogan.”

[@robbymarton74]

Turn up Ted’s microphone!

[@GoldenEraNetwork]

Fixing it for future episodes! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Rob78169]

​@@GoldenEraNetworkreally loving the podcast!! Very well done!!👍

[@GoldenEraNetwork]

@@Rob78169 much appreciated!

[@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf]

Huh??? Whatcha say?

[@jessyleppert2]

Ted was saying that only managers couldn't go to house shows, except for places like Madison Square Garden and The Meadowlands because I went to house shows in 1994-1995 and Ted was there managing Bam Bam Bigelow, Tatanka and others.

[@seangorman3959]

It should've been Trillionaire Ted!

[@davequinn3484]

I'm watching this now Ted. Say hello please

[@terryp2214]

Should of asked him if Royal rumble 94 was taped also😊

[@Emeth-777]

It's like Ted said, everyone has a price, Ted had a price with WCW, and he was bought. and he left the WWF in 1996. The last time he was mentioned by the WWF was at the King of the Ring 1996. Imagine if Hall and Nash and Ted along with Curt Hening didn't leave Vince in 1996.And where in the Attitude era from 1997-2001 going into the Invasion angle with WWF vs WCW.

[@fartdonkey8290]

I want to know what ted thought about singing lead for Alabama while working undercover for wwf

[@standardofexcellence]

Lmao and tugboat also that is why he wore the shockmaster helmet he didn't want to be recognized from Alabama, doctor death possibly after awhile every other wrestler looked like those 4 dudes

[@arthuridis]

Ambrosia

[@arthuridis]

Best laugh ever.

[@Jay-lh2nt]

God bless you , Ted . You're an amazing LEGEND

[@jonathanhensley6141]

Ted would have been a great WWE champion because he is a great wrestler and a heel announcer.

[@ibramblebush]

Can you imagine JR, The King and Dibiase on commentary during the Attitude Era? It would have been glorious.

[@zombiefulci3301]

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.

[@ivanamassivedump8715]

WCW was WWFs Temu twin brother.

[@lordcolinb]

Everyone has a price

[@daviddoyle8956]

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.

[@jacoblang5139]

Everybody has a price

[@curthennig9448]

Even the poor people got rooked by Teddy Ballgame.

[@philthatcher6111]

What's happend to Ted disease son? Is he in prison?

[@curthennig9448]

He'll be there with Trump pretty soon!

[@HardheadedG32]

​​@@curthennig9448Trump not going to prison. He's innocent. Dick. Biden going to prison one day.

[@ibramblebush]

Man he jumped ship just when things were about ti get good.

[@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf]

Ted's run in the wwf was played out. 8 yrs out of a gimmick is a hell of a run

[@ibramblebush]

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Dibiase was always hot, it's just between the years 92 - 96 pro wrestling was down bad at the time.

[@dionruffin3996]

I don’t think Ted ever really fit in at WCW it was weird seeing him in the NWO. I like him as Steiners manager but it was still odd 😂

[@PittheadX]

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.

[@GreetingsFromSpace]

Well, they kinda were. Also, they way they exploited Jake's alcoholism during the same angle was pretty disgusting. I wouldn't blame Ted if those things factored in.

[@noahboddee5238]

Hey Ted can you pray for my aunt? She’s a con artist and needs God

[@mintfloss15]

i prayed for her

[@jd9119]

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.

[@zombiefulci3301]

He was "Trillionaire Ted" 😆😆😆😆

Didn’t he steal hundred of thousands from the state for false insurance claims?

[@michaeldick6227]

I think only his son has been officially charged.

[@alanguages]

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.

[@curthennig9448]

The whole family is known as the Million Dollar Men! Welfare money is the best and easiest to steal.

[@alanguages]

I say it is the taxpayers, if you work in government. Although welfare money is also taxpayer money. @@curthennig9448

[@homerguy4444]

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.

He wanted to be with Virgil again. Saved you a click.

Ted only likes ALABAMA (for some reason 😉)

[@jd9119]

@@donjohn2695 It was all three of them. You can't for a second think that Ted didn't know what his sons were doing with HIS "charity." Nobody can accuse the Dibiases of breaking kayfabe though. They used a fake church to defraud a state's welfare system. If that isn't something the Million Dollar Man would do, I don't know what is.

[@ShadowAngel-lt8nw]

@@standardofexcellence And what's wrong with Alabama? Or are you one of those morons who think Alabama has something to do with incest, when Washington is the most inbred state in the US, while incest is still legal in New Jersey and Rhode Island, unlike Alabama?
