That was awesome!! Ted said he is very grateful to be in that spot at that time, well i can tell you Ted, the fans are grateful that we got to watch you perform at that time. You were so entertaining!! Thank you.🙏

[@-XKHAN-]

Its great to see Ted with his own podcast!! He was excellent on the mic, he was a model heel! Gimmick was top notch an I consider him one of the best technical wrestlers of all time!! I was able to emmulate his imfamous sell neck roll where his whole body would flip over selling a move!! Any match he wrestled i felt he could always win even if it was against a popular babyface, the crowd booed him an he kept doing all kinds of crazy stuff to people for a hundred dollar bill!! Then he took it up a notch and would botch a contest and not let the person win!! The imfamous ball kick!! As a kid it was like whoa watching him do that!!' We would be in school talking about what Million dollar man did last Saturday!! Thank you Ted!! Thank you for being a great villian who put a lot of wrestlers over!!

@@rubenarriaga3029I’m pretty sure he was brought in to Main Event with the champ, and they also created him his own belt. He was bigger than IC level after his time in Mid South and UFC

I remember this like yesterday. My 12th birthday. What a great present to watch Hogan lose. Lol

[@CatsClaw44]

That's funny because it was almost a month to the day AFTER my 12th birthday.

[@hectorlopez1069]

That was the first ever live show of the WWF on NBC live television. That is interesting to hear.

[@nwo8051]

Awesome

[@EverybodysGotAPod]

Appreciate you coming to check it out!

[@jacobkubacki2719]

What an unexpected swerve that was!? I was so pissed(as a 12 year old)! Lol Nobody expected Hulk to lose the tile at that time & in that fashion too. That’s the power of Kayfabe. That was epic! Im glad I got to live through it.

tyvm for the podcast

You too 🤣

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase saw everything... he was a part of all of the biggest storylines in the history of westling. WWF was great in the Golden Era. Great podcast i respect him. Today i still watch WWF and i dont watch WWE anymore.

[@sweetjoey2]

This alone proves Steve Austin was never close to being as big as Hulk Hogan.

There's Video of Ted as WWF Champion ... I Believe from a Card that Aired NESN (New England Sports Network) a Day to a Few Days After The Main Event Broadcast

[@TranslatedAssumption]

All pro wrestling championships are acquired by kayfabe, thus I recognize Ted DiBiase as a 100% legitimate WWF World Champion and I daresay that the way in which he acquired it is the best in history.

[@fitfighter24]

Hi Ted it wasn't the Saturday nights main event thst was the predecessor the program your references was a Friday night program that's why the name was changed to the Main Event

[@jackson5781]

He could have became The NWA heavyweight champion if he wouldnt have left, Crockett promotions probably would have had a rivalry between him and Flair

[@jonathanturbide2232]

...which would have completely sucked compared to being seen on TV by 33 millions people and feuding with Hogan. There's no way his Crockett run would have been better or hotter than his first 2 years in WWF.

Are there gonna be any "traditional" episodes for this PODCAST? Or just clips?

They should have put belt on ted,in the years of so many title changes guys like ted rude perfect would have been multiple times champion

I remember watching the outcome of that match and thinking 'This sucks! They just cheated Hogan out of the Title!'

[@coyote520]

Dibiase claims that he and Savage had never touched before WM 4. That is incorrect. They wrestled on Saturday Nights Main Event on 3/12/88, were Savage lost by count-out due to Andre's interference.

[@jd9119]

I still think Ted was the WWF Champion for a week before he was stripped of the belt.

[@rodsimpson518]

I wasn't a fan of how they removed the belt from Hogan, it was too cheesy even for the WWF but it was a pretty amazing event.

[@mikejejenich-pb5zx]

Theres so many wrestling podcasts. Million dollar man. Cornette. Eric bishoff. Kliq this kevin nash. Jake the 🐍 snake ric flair. Griiling jr Bruce prichard. ( not complaining). But its hard to watch them all. ⏰ 🤣

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Mick Foley, Dutch Mantel, and referee Mike Chioda are other really good ones.

[@greywolf7583]

I remember that Main Event the storyline with the Double Referee wasn't so good it was corny all they had to do was have Ted DiBiase hand the Ref a envelope after the match making everyone think 🤔 did Ted pay off the Ref.

[@JosephMiller-hu7bq]

Ted should've been the Champion and of course he cheated , but then have him hold it for a while wrestling everybody not the top guys and of course dodging Hulk until W.M and then Hogan wins his belt back , and have Andre The Giant helps his old friend Hulk over come Teds body guard and his crew and Hulk & Andre leaves to cheering crowd

[@gerieveen429]

Redicules storyline🤡

[@Evilkingus]

Good ole senile Teddy mixes up The Maint Event and SNME. Oh well he‘s been out of it for many years.
