Ted DiBiase on If he Ever Used Steroids

[@bold810]

I tell you what, if you asked me what wrestler would still be here in 2023, I would have said "Ted DiBiase", hands down. 🎉

[@jessehaltia4795]

Warrior didn't have a small frame for a 6'2" guy. Now Rick Rude had a very small frame.

[@darlinbood3991]

Correct. These guys just regurgitate what other people say.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Right. I couldn't believe he said Warrior had a small frame lol. Not true at all.

[@sumandsubstance7881]

Rick Rude was not a dense boned athlete. But he was tall with wide shoulders so he didn't have small frame either

[@JM-nm3oo]

Still need to be in shape whether or not you are jacked. A lot of people still don't realize the kind of cardiovascular fitness you need to last for even a 10 minute match.

[@faresashraf8183]

The best Golden Era wrestler in my opinion

[@shavingdave1]

Agree!

[@3luckydog]

Agreed 👍

[@annstevens6223]

Hercules was incredibly jacked too. Overly so.

[@bobc2043]

“That’s all he had”. Warrior had incredible intensity and charisma.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Ted always minimizes Warrior. There have been many muscle heads, not only was Warriors physique was one of the best in wrestling but he had the it factor. The charisma and intensity was there and he connected with the crowd. You don't rival Hogan in popularity in 1989/1990 just by having a great body.

[@GamingManual]

Ted is bitter, as are a lot of wrestlers. They love to say "it's all about putting asses in seats", but then Warrior does just that and it's all "No, not THAT way". These dudes are the biggest marks for themselves. Most of the time when they say they didn't use steroids, they're not lying. There's a ton of PEDs that aren't steroids, and a ton of those guys absolutely used that shit back in the day (and still do).

[@GlorifiedTruth]

Yep. I personally didn't like Warrior, but you can't deny how he got himself over while other muscleheads failed miserably.

[@bobc2043]

Exactly. He was a huge draw. Ted don’t know jack. And the host is always bringing up Warrior on both podcasts. He knows he generates a lot of hits.

[@maxblackcat]

If any muscle head could do it. Tom McAfee would be world champ

[@KirksCORNER1983]

We can tell Ted didnt use em he wasnt cut at all

[@tomh1593]

Curt Hennig bulked up big time when he went from the AWA to the WWF

[@mattclassic1855]

Curt started bulking up when he was AWA champ

[@soulofanerd9364]

​​​@@mattclassic1855he got more of a muscle tonedlook once he turned heel and became World champion in AWA but he BULKED UP in WWE as in gained probably a good 15-20 lbs of muscle

[@tomh1593]

Compared to when he was a job guy yes. But it was natural. But in the WWF he roided up.@@mattclassic1855

[@BreakingNVain]

Damn, he must have been the size of James Ellsworth in AWA

[@motleydude73]

​@@BreakingNVainExactly. He was a natural 230 pounds, like Bret Hart. Natural physique. Didn't ever LOOK like he took roids though we know he was a drug user.

[@sfpincchicago]

Most professional athletes do NOT have the appearance of a professional bodybuilder.

[@antonnakic8539]

Warriors father died at 57, and grandfather died at 52. Both from heart failure. Warrior died at 54 from heart failure. Whether he took steroids or not, I feel his cards were already marked.

[@clark650]

Absolutely 💯

[@khamla616]

Ted can’t help to pick on him yet everyone took it back then even him and Bret. Warrior rarely drank didn’t smoke or do other drugs and Piper did coke and everything yet no one talks down on him for that, ironic?

[@KirksCORNER1983]

I beleive sterroids caused it

[@stevenjames3242]

@@khamla616 Warrior was a D*CK all through his life in wrestling and after that as well, that is why. NO ONE really took it back; THEY did what they were told to do by Vince. In fact, most of them feel the same way as Ted does. Looking around in shoot interviews like this one, no one really says anything GOOD about him. Hell, even his wife was "future endeavored" after it would not make WWE look like assholes for letting her go. Willing to bet, the warrior award will go south soon as well. They will replace it with something else. Give it time.

[@chrisbowen6180]

​@@khamla616 that's a mid south alum thing. Jim Ross does the same. I assume because Warrior stood up to Watts

[@PassivePortfolios]

Ted did not look like he did PEDs but plenty of other guys did to various degrees. Add recreational drugs and booze and it became a death sentence or certain disability. Horowitz for example was all natural and he is alive and well to this day.

[@Brook11223]

Bret Hart confirmed about Warrior getting fired back in 1992 due to getting Steroids from a European drug dealer who got busted. Bret said that Vince told him that he was going to wrestle Warrior in the rumble and put him in the sharpshooter. Bret also said that Vince called him first before he was going to fire Davey Boy Smith as well since Davey was getting steroids from the same dealer that got busted in the UK.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

He wasn't getting steroids, he was getting HGH

[@kumodohaizi7234]

Lbh,the reason the million dollar man wasn't wwe champion cuz he wasn't juiced up cuz he was a great wrestler and can cut a great promo and had a great look and image

[@ShadowAngel18606]

He wasn't because the WWF was a face territory and heels were ever only used as transition champions to get the belt from one face or another. There simply was no real place for Ted as Champion. You don't book Hogan to drop the belt when he is the biggest wrestler in the world, this was followed by the Mega Powers storyline, then came Warrior. It's just how the territory works: Face Champion who fights off heels, it's different from most other territories who had a Heel champ being chased by a face challenger, who usually gets cheated on. Don't know why people don't understand that.

[@kumodohaizi7234]

@ShadowAngel18606 man that just an excuse,u could make him champion for a couple of months and drop it on a big ppv like the rumble or wm,I don't know why u don't understand that!if yoko could be a 2x champion,which he had no personality,unmarketable,no look or it factor,just a huge big sumo guy, perfect,Ted or luger should of at least been a one time wwe champion,I hate that excuse with babyface/heel bs

[@ShadowAngel18606]

@@kumodohaizi7234 And when? By 1993 Ted was retired. As for Yoko: He drew bigger gates than Bret. He and Undertaker leading the B-Squad on House shows routinely outdrew Bret even. Get your facts straight, kiddo.

[@CannedHam2479]

Roids,coke,or alcohol were the choices back in the 80’s!

[@MarkSmith-ho5yc]

Awesome interview.Teds brutal honesty is awesome in stark contrast to Hulk Hogan and The Rock.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I'm surprised that Hogan is alive today since Hulk used steroids to be as big as he was in the 80s.

[@anthonyosullivan268]

Hogan had a big frame to begin with. Just my opinion but I think steroids is more harmful to small framed people. Maybe because they have smaller organs or they need more steroids to get big.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

@@anthonyosullivan268 Eddie Guerrero was overly jacked during his second run in the WWE and passed away years later. So, you have a point.

[@anthonyosullivan268]

@@kenterminateddq5311 some bodies just can’t take the extra stress. Again I am not a steroids expert so this is just my opinion.

[@tomwalker389]

Warrior had a smaller frame than Tito and Kerry.

[@MichaelSchneider450]

Maybe you should send your list of questions in advance. The MDM is a way stronger talker when he's prepared. Being spontanious leads to these rather "boring", long, haltingly interviews....

[@themalacast]

3:40 No athletes usually look like a bodybuilder except bodybuilders. Take boxing for example. Tyson Fury has had a dad bod his whole career and yet has been the baddest man on the planet for a decade.

Isn't Ted going to jail because he embezzled a bunch of money

Compare Scott Steiner 1989 to 1994. Amateur vs. pro. Mullet vs. white dye.

jim duggin was pretty ripped back in the day in his eariler years! dont be fooled!

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Marcus the moderator is too young to remember that and too lazy to look it up lol

[@luciano-km7mq]

Warrior took recreational drugs as well.

[@joshualewis9654]

Small frame? He was 6foot 4 inches tall?????

[@murraykelm5691]

Besides the heavyweight division, amateur wrestlers have to make weight, so being juiced up don't make much sense.

[@RPKGameVids]

I thought putting on muscle was meant to be good for your heart?

why is it so hard for him just to take ownership?

If he ever did he should ask for his money back.

[@r.g.armstrong2688]

Di Biase didn’t have the body and he couldn’t wrestle as well. He just had that dollar guy character. He shouldn’t speak that way of a late colleague.

[@selfiekroos1777]

Doesn't mention hogan😉

[@pablocuneo4611]

Warriors matches against Rude and Savage tell a story of someone could wrestle using a lot of moves. Ted really doesn’t Warrior always bad mouthing him.

[@Boxedbyyme]

What??

[@motleydude73]

Rude had to carry his sorry ass. He hated wrestling Warrior.

[@darlinbood3991]

You can't look someone's body and know how much they are taking. Ted was definitely on the juice until Vince started testing. Then he deflated, especially his traps.

[@matthewbailey376]

Two names podcasts seem incapable of mentioning, Andre and the Warrior

[@ford2010]

Come on he was huge into coke...yet says was scared of juice ? Just cause he didn't lift of course his juice won't make him big. Smh

Some people are scared of needles

[@ivancook1247]

I would take a swimmers muscle or a gymnast muscle over a fake body builder muscle

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Nothing fake about it. Steriods won't make you a body builder if you don't hit the gym hard and eat clean. Swimmers and other athletes have taken steriods as well to heal faster and enhance their performance

[@themalacast]

Certainly for swimming or gymnastics
