The Career of The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

[@demariohammond1063]

Met Ted at the airport. I said does everyone still have a price? He gave me that laugh 😆. Really nice guy.

[@wakahere]

Call Me Cody u serious, we didn’t ask for ur opinion.

[@kylev938]

Really? My brother and I tried getting his autograph outside a house show and he denied us , we didn’t even get the laugh 🤣 🙅

[@GoForItDontLayUp]

Ted nowadays looks like a man that knows he's had a good life. Couldnt help but smile at the last couple mins of this short documentary.

[@shaneferris1043]

Dibiase introduced both the Undertaker and Austin...... Enough said!

[@andrewpark2563]

The best heel ever in the wwf, and one of the best characters in wrestling, I remember that ball kicking skit as a kid and I hated him so much, a truly iconic wrestler and his theme song was awesome aswell

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

I was lucky enough to get to meet Ted Dibiase at NYCC 2017. My son had no idea why I was fan out so much, even after explaining who he was.

[@nimportequi2249]

Good job on this video again. We, the audience, feel the respesct and the love you have towards these legends and it shows in the way you portray them. Respect !

[@vmcinerneyvm]

Your videos are awesome im glad i found your channel!

[@danielphipps2781]

Thanks so much for the video..

[@MrDavehenderson27]

Have to say mate- your features are fantastic! Excellent work!👏

[@ikitclaw3299]

I miss the old wrestling

[@288theabe]

As a kid, I really hated him and hate every rich person with that ACTUAL personality today. As an adult, this whole video made me smile with nostalgia ☺️ Also, if you get a chance, look up some of dibiase’s recent interviews. Guy’s a beaut!

[@droppedyourpocket1749]

Another awesome video keep up the great work!

[@michaelkrolewski6531]

I loved when Dibiase presented a gift to Jake the Snake, after he kayfabe injured him in a match. It was a 14 karat gold neckbrace. Lol

[@benmcgrath396]

great videos, keep them coming

[@ronstille7924]

His feud with Terry Gordy was a great angle the even went so far as to tell the T. V. audience they weren't allowed to show it on t. v. after about two weeks because it was to shocking still my favorite angle of all time

[@bigtitus4417]

Amazing video, as always, please do Demolition or Rick Martel or Tito Santana next

[@williamschutz4982]

I still remember when Ted went to Tito Santanas childhood home with Sherry. If you haven't seen it I suggest you look it up. It is funny af.

[@joespitler3929]

Actually just watched that LOL.

[@michaelscofield31]

what about when ted dibiase took Sapphire away from dusty Rhodes. 😂

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

Jack Tunney making Ted vacate the title was one of the worst things to happen in professional wrestling history.

[@locutus1126]

One of the best gimmicks, he sold it perfectly. Some guys get a crappy gimmick but imagine been Ted when Vince approaches you and said, "I got this gimmick, you are going to be a millionaire and I will give a back roll to go and spend money". Every one had to travel coach, Ted got first class.

[@cristallgraham1972]

Could you make a video like this 4 Hillbilly Jim please?! I don't think I've ever seen one

[@hodorstark44]

Was a great character. Don't think I seen him win clean lol. But the time with big boss man was gold

[@alexanderdavis2483]

My favorite back in his prime

[@daleholbert3111]

Another great job thank you for your hard work can you do one on Terry Funk

[@The_Ninedalorian]

True Fact: There ARE two Hebner Referees. There always has been as they are (gasp) twin brothers.

[@Cazz8203]

I'd like to see you do a video on bruiser brody

[@TheSerpentsEye]

I absolutely love his 1982 slow burn heel turn in Mid-South. It's actually justified too as he gets screwed out of the championship and turns evil.

[@sharkman4928]

What about his time in the UWF??? Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death Steve Williams were an awesome tag team during the mid 1980's!

[@lawrencedavis2779]

Yup

[@Wezbomb]

Absolutely the best WWF/E heel in history. Non since have even come close to his utter bastardry

[@grooveninja7996]

And now he is appearing in NXT giving rubs to future stars like LA Knight and Cameron Grimes. LA Knight is even the new Million Dollar Champion. Good stuff all around.

[@selinaogorman8380]

He character increíble he was that wrestler that you love to hate but he was brilliant great wrestler and oh ya a character to get jealous of and that laugh the best he is one of my favorites now a pastor incredible glad he has God in his life and still enjoying his life can’t go wrong.

[@jaredquinney204]

Interesting

[@jwnj9716]

He always drew a dime. A dime, a dime, a dime.

[@takkat5102]

When he was on TV, people watched him.

[@nomikes4392]

Top name long before the Million Dollar man

[@darkworldinc]

How about some for Japanese stars?

[@burdturd69]

Why isn't "money in the bank" directly tied to the million dollar man?? Totally missed that chance Vince.

[@jesterr7133]

The Million Dollar Man was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable characters in the history of WWE, and he certainly deserves a place in the Hall Of Fame.

[@amtownsyou]

"As Dibiase claimed Austin was the future of the company" Well damn he couldn't have been more right LOL

[@ZlothZloth]

The Million Dollar man ALWAYS gets his way!

[@Richterdgf]

I guess you could say Ted was right on....the money. *Puts on sunglasses* YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

[@icfwu9774]

He introduced us to Austin and Undertaker

[@s4xtt]

A lot of industry legends like Dusty, Rick Rude and especially Heyman always feel Austin has big potential but until the Stone Cold gimmick they could never find the right character, he is neither too babyface nor heel

[@kenwigginsii6065]

The greatest heel wrestler who should've been WWE champion...

[@mountzod]

Piper and Roberts too

[@DropTopAsh718]

add Perfect and Rude to that list

[@mrtonywilliams6312]

Because of Hulkamania alot of great wrestlers didnt become champ. I always thought it was better for Hogan to chase the belt he was insanely over he didnt need the belt

[@michaelbandada9887]

Ted Dibiase should have been a World Champion for at least one time, you know like Iron Sheik and Stan Stasiak. Ted is a legit heel and he could be enjoying a good world title reign that could last until the next show where he would lose the belt to guys like Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan

[@josephbuono5487]

Def

[@superrobz]

Such an underrated performer, he should have held the WWE Title (legitimately) once in his career

[@alexnumber1317]

Rob Picken agreed matey

[@scottavery1751]

Totally agree with that statement.

[@davekemp1808]

Sadly, much like with Mr. Perfect (who also should've been champion at least once), I can't help but feel that Hogan didn't want to put him over. As a kid, I wouldn't have liked The Million Dollar Man (or Perfect) as the Heavyweight champ, but I was a kid so I loved Hogan. As an adult, it was robbery that neither of those 2 had a run because of Hogan.

[@NYKgjl10]

One of the best Pro Wrestling talents to never win the WWF champion.

[@Glenghiskhan]

that million dollor man laugh used to crack me up every time

[@obiwan9236]

I hated him as a kid, but now I look back as an adult he was actually one of my all time favorites now!

[@itsjemmabond]

If you hated him, it means he played the character well!

[@phillyblackett1443]

obi wan this is exactly how I feel. Looking back I realise he was just a phenomenal heal.

[@jharvey433]

Same

[@MoeyViews]

My favourite from day 1!

[@thomasbrown6527]

Same here. The only heel till this day who never failed to get under my skin

[@SantaDog81]

I love how you stick to kayfabe when you narrate. God, I miss when Kayfabe was important.

[@thomasburr1768]

So true like when saying he paid off people in this that he's talking like he really did buy the 30th spot in the Royal Rumble which was obviously written into the program but his style of documentaries awesome he sticks with kayfabe it's great I agree with you a hundred percent where did it go

[@navbuoy]

I vividly recall the kid getting the ball kicked away from Dibiase. It was such a huge heel moment...classic. I always felt that he'd make it up to the folks backstage...glad to hear that he did.

[@itsjemmabond]

If he did that today, Twitter would go mad!

[@marcspardello1254]

I was wondering did that young kid with bball actually get $500 backstage? I am sure they did and he was prepped a bit to play a part.

[@jeremyslaney5644]

@@marcspardello1254 Yes that was mentioned in Ted Dibiase's autobiography

[@MichaelLopez-rd4ll]

I met him a few years back at a minor league baseball game. He stayed even after the game was over to sign and take pics with every person who waited hours in line to see him. He even autographed my Million Dollar Man wrestling buddy and cracked up when he saw it. Absolutely a class act and one of the best heels of all time!

[@myinnapeaceministries7545]

The kid who Dibiase kicked the basketball is now a car salesman. He's now 6'4". They ran into each other when Minister Dibiase was looking to buy a car. There's a picture online with them together that day.

[@OldMovieRob]

"Everybody's got a price for the Million Dollar Man!" What an awesome, entertaining character.

[@antwan1357]

Ted Dibiase had the very best personal career of any wrestler with potentially the very best theme that will make anyone envious with Mcman picking up the tab.

[@nirvanainchains209]

Theres so many wrestlers that start off as american footballers, get injured and then become wrestlers.

[@anjetto1]

I’ve been watching your videos for quite sometime now. I don’t give compliments often, but when I do I’m sincere. Your videos are very well done and your research skills show that. Thank you for not taking the cheap and childish road of using lame humor to increase views. I respect your and serious journalistic approach. Also your consistency with video releases.

One thing you missed in Dibiase's 1979 brief time in WWF was wrestling Hulk Hogan in his Hogan's MSG debut match.

Million Dollar Man versus razor, was at the palace of Auburn hills. That was the best match of the whole event

[@wolfieform9514]

Ted dibiase great heel great wrestler hall of famer well deserved 👍😎👍

[@Richterdgf]

I HATED DiBiase as a kid, which goes to show what a fantastic heel he was in the late 80’s. Everything about the Million Dollar Man was just top notch, classic heel work. That laugh is also unforgettable. As an adult, I too have become a fan of heel wrestlers, so my appreciation for DiBiase has grown considerably. I have also come to appreciate DiBiase’s fantastic work in the ring.

[@gilbertnicholas1582]

One of the best... Great gimmick, theme music and laugh

[@kevinsalopek2928]

This my dude. I was a complete mark as a kid, but never hated Ted. He was the one heel I rooted for.

[@benrichards6087]

Back in the 80s ted reminded me of my step dad, making him the ultimate heel for me as a child. That cocky laugh was just classic! Long live the million dollar man!

[@ronindebeatrice]

I'm so fortunate to have been a fan during the golden era.

[@HandsomeDevil72]

Yes dude, me too ;)

[@DFA8117]

Easily one of the top 10 heels of all time. This is what happens when you have a gimmick and the person behind the gimmick embraces it and believes in it.

[@ChildrensSongStorytimeCorner]

My favorite wrestler! He played the part beautifully and convincingly!

[@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount]

Any chance we could a video on the life and career of Chris Benoit? Controversial yes but despite his end, he had a decent career.

[@khanthevideogamehunter2946]

Another guy who was held back by hogan's greed to be in the spotligth

[@SlaytanicSuperstarr]

Hogan, Savage, Warrior all faces on TV but heels irl DiBiase, Vader, Andre real life faces that played heels... That says something

[@paulhetrick1759]

Hogan's a stand up good guy in real life. It has been said that Andre was not always a good guy in real life though.

[@kenworthNH]

Ted is so underrated! He took part in so many important events in wrestling history like the invention of the intercontinental championship and having a hand in bringing Steve Austin in.

[@Gotti17]

Ask and you shall receive.... thanks for doing ted ... How about Demolition next?

[@81chipper89]

He's done one on Demolition now, in case you missed it, pal.

[@ThaClancyFam2]

Alan Dempsey Austin’s said they didn’t. SCSA said they had talked the details of the reversal ahead of time, but he kept asking Owen did he know how to do it. Owen was like “yeah”, but they never actually practiced the pile driver itself.

He was great as a heel. He knew how to work the crowds. When he decided to change his lifestyle and become a pastor, l was quite suprised. But he seemed to be happy,so,who am l to question his decision? It has given his life and heart a purpose. I am happy for him.

I remember as a kid reading an old WWF annual and seeing a section on Ted Dibiase, My initial reaction was "I didn't know Noel Edmonds was in WWF".. That said Ted Dibiase was brilliant and played the character to perfection.. I dare say there were many out there who if given the same gimmick would have totally botched it.. Also that laugh is legendary :)

@@derekborba9574 The morbid zombie was his best period of wrestling. The build up to the match was excellent, the match itself was horrible, maybe it would have been better a few years after that, I don't know. The arena was awkwardly silent during that match.
