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.

Gotta love a man with passion and integrity
Irwin R Scheister would like a word
😂
I saw him at a horrorcon in Kansas City. I went there mainly to get a picture with Cassandra Peterson with a balloon sculpture I made of Elvira (I do that at all the cons that come through KC for celebrities I like). I didn't realize Ted was there until I walked around (the con's website sucked). So I immediately got my balloons from my car and sat down in the lobby to twist a Million Dollar Man. I drew a crowd and finished it right when the con closed. Ted walked past us, looking really tired, so I wasn't going to impose on him, but a woman in the crowd yelled at him to, "Look at this!" Ted kind of looked put out, then he brightened and came over to get his balloon doppelganger and even did a promo that I recorded on my phone in character talking about his balloon sculpture. When I left, he was still talking to people about the wrestling biz. One of the nicest celebrities I've ever met.
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!
Dibiase was a great heel.
He is correct about Bischoff not knowing the wrestling business.
Umm...how much time did Vince spend in the ring?
@@imfreviewsEric didn't grow up in the business and doesn't have the mental capacity to compete long term
@@RJ-fe9pu But you did, and you do right?
I choose not to engage with people who lack self-awareness, so enjoy Collision this weekend!
@@imfreviews no im not creative in that way, nor do i desire to be
2nd I don't have tv to watch wrestling wwe or otherwise.
Lastly the clips I have seen of aew lately are meh and outside of cody wm40 clip not that interested in wwe either
That being said I am biased and prefer scsa bret hart randy savage Scott hall and Kevin nash Rock over everyone today
For me the in ring psychology was 1000x better (not a fan of spot fests) (or xx guys standing around waiting to catch another guy who was setting up that 1 move for the last 4 minutes while they stood around and watched).
Fwiw if erik had what it took wcw wouldn't have failed and he wouldn't have been fired from wwe
Idk what else to tell you the proof is in the pudding
@@RJ-fe9pu OK, I guess I don't have to know you declare that my observation about you lacking self-awareness was correct. Like I said, enjoy Collision this week, along with all of the other AEW fans who have no idea what reality is!
Ironic that Eric is now making his money by criticizing Tony Kahn for the same things that Eric was critiqued for by Ted.
Eric had some good ideas, but WCW finishes were pure 💩
@@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.
Say what you want. Bishoff. Is the only guy who beat. Vince for 83 weeks. He ended up. Fuking it all up. But he did kick vinces butt for a while 👋
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
More than that, was 83 straight. I do like Bischoff and Ted never gives a better idea for himself . Just the commentator thing .
Nwo should of stop with 10 guys !
Finger poke of doom
David arquette Wcw champion was a joke when Scott hall should of been the champ!
Same o story line with NWO beating up everyone weekly
@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
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?
He had everything he needed to war with Vince for years, but was not the right guy for the job. The boys built the castle.
I just loved his villainous laugh "hahaha" money money 💰 🤑
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.
Many families have been touched by the scourge of drug addiction. Ted DiBiase is no exception.
OUCH!
Truth!
Both things can be true. Vince made it gross for awhile, and Ted Jr's a prick.
@@gragarbagr and Ted Sr. is a saint after cheating on his wife and treating fans like crap by allowing Virgil to con them under his supervision?
Ted
I'm still mad they put Eric in that role. Don't get me wrong he was good but Ted was better for that part.
He was handsome at this age
Ah, good ol kayfabe. Rips ass and stays in character.
Hello
To get around the copyright “Billionaire Ted” could have worked.
Was that a fart at 2.55? Lol if it is and not a chair
If it was, then it wasn't Ted, since nothing changed with his body language, blink rate.
He kinda leaned into it, my moneys on fart. Some people just play it cool like that!
@@inlovewithi🤣🤣🤣
It was a duck either that or a barking spider.
Sounded like one. Seemed like a big one trying to come out of a little hole. lol tiny bit wet. 😂😂
By mid 90s, there wasnt much fanfare for Ted
He should've just played ball
He was just a guy at the time and wasn't portrayed as a legend of sorts
@@robertwarf3316 He was from a different era, and the business had changed.
@@djdonald243 As were many of them, including Hogan. Hogan should have retired after WW7-8, almost everything after that was utterly embarrassing.
@@MrBeautifulmountain This take is insane. The NWO revolutionized the industry. Without it we don’t get the Monday Night Wars, thus no attitude era.
Who farts at 2:51 ?
lol you are correct. It does sound like a fart.
I read this at exactly the same time the fart happens..hajajaha.
I watch WCW because all the people from my childhood were wrestling in it. I very rarely watched the WWF just because it seemed like everything was like a dick joke or poontang pie joke. If I wanted porn I could just go to a porn store and get the real thing or just go to a strip club and give money to my neighbors who worked there. I'm glad for CZcams because I can watch the old stuff
Money money money money
From the poor
The WWF owned the name Million Dollar man but couldn't they rename Ted The Billion dollar man?🤔
Who the hell ripped ass at 2:52 ?
They couldn't hold it.
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.
Wtf does this even mean 😂
@@jacoboflores9257 it means just because I'm your employee, don't expect me to do other tasks other than what I was hired for. If you hire me as a cook, I'm not going to also sweep the floor or take the trash out.
Somebody just about blew the bottom out of their chair. Haha!
You’re getting 6 figures to carry a belt, not talk, not take bumps, and hardly travel. Wtf is the problem?
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.
@@karlepaul6632 but he did not want to travel, did not want to wrestle, and wcw did not want him on commentary, what was he expecting? And you notice he went to Eric and said let me just stay home? He did not say let me put my contract or cut my pay. He asked to stay home and but keeps the checks coming. Why didn’t he just ask out?
and he acts like staying home and getting paid $25k a month shouldn't be a problem 😅. Wtf!
Professional pride
@@CR-xu2mw then quit and ask out your contract. Don’t ask to let me stay home until you get better ideas but still send my checks every two weeks. You noticed he did not pull a raven and ask out of his deal? He wanted his money to do what he wanted to do.
2:55 was Complete Ass!
Bischoff becoming the heel boss was complete ass or the fart from DiBiase was complete ass? 😂
@@soulofanerd9364 both!
@@ericdravenX00X 😆😆😆 I loved Eric as the heel boss. He was ahead of the curve as obviously it worked well for Vince over a year later as well
It was the blind leading the stupid not the blind leading the blind...
2:52 - Fart.
Cuanto te pagaban ????
Phony
Milliin Dollar Fart 2:52?
😂 🍑🗯
million dollar man was great pro wrestler. his sidekick virgil black dude was ok too
But having a slave as a bodyguard is morals
🗣️
Pos family
How ironic is it that Ted DiBiasi became the Vincent of the WCW
Or Virgil of wcw
Another ungrateful former WCW wrestler
That's exactly what I was thinking watching this.
Yeah. To me. If you spent 20 years in the business - going to WCW and getting 6 figures to do nothing but stand there with Hogan - should be a reward! He probably didn’t travel much either.
He used to wrestle?! He is like Virgil. Old wrestlers that did zero wrestling when I watched. I thought he was just Austins manager like Paul Bearer was Undertakers, never thought they wrestled at all
When I started watching wrestling in like '88 he was wrestling as The Million Dollar Man but he was wrestling long before that as just Ted DiBiase he debuted in Mid-South in '74
Ted Dibiase was actually a great in ring wrestler, he just made more money off his personality as the Million Dollar Man.
One of the biggest scumbags in the business wants to talk about morality - go figure!
He wouldn't have made a good commentator.
He did some in the WWF. He was actually pretty good. Just like Mr. Perfect.
@@nostalgiaman6816 no way. He talks way too slow and deep.
@@jefferyorton1723 But he commentated in character so it worked, he was pretty good as an announcer
I love that every Ted Dibiase interview is the worst quality audio or video like its my father’s camcorder from 1990.
It may have been the same model. These were produced in 1999
The million pound man?
😠😡🤬.he didnt steal.it was his second son the namesake one ted jr.and the third son brett.duh.get it got it good,!
If I meet old Ted I'm going to ask him to "pick a hand". I swear i can't stand the real guy.
He drips with insincerity
Ted Dibiase's pious attitude because of his belief in a sky god is laughable
Do you believe that everything in the Universe came about randomly? Does anything ever come from nothing?
@@panagenesis2695 I have no reasonable answer as to what created the universe.. Because something had to come from somewhere.. I don't even have a theory as to what preceded the universe we live in.. now, having said that, I now have a question for you: What or Who created "God"? How did this sky god come to be?
I see the universe. I know the universe is real. Nobody has seen this Christian sky god. Nobody! And nobody ever will.
Your attitude of believing you are superior because you don’t believe in a higher power is laughable.
@@elreyes78 I am superior to those weak minded humans that truly believe in a sky god and think he knows what everybody is doing.
He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good so be Christian for your own sake..
@@richardwang1739 I can't answer that but there is a higher power. It's me Austin! It was me all along.
This coming from the man whose son was indicted for allegedlly stealing from govt programs.
