@waitsone An employee of mine met him when he didn't have to show at the arena due to lower ticket sales. Sais he was a friendly guy but is really bigger than he looks next to all of these guys who are even bigger. I think this vignette is one of the only times we hear Virgil talk. Dude's facial expressions were usually enough. Supposedly he teaches public school math.
Ted is actually an extremely kind & giving man, I got a bud who tried to make in the business & although he didn't make it, he couldn't have said more nice things about Dibiase, he went out of his way to help him & teach him the ropes. Classy guy, loved the good ol days of the WWF.
Ted DiBiase was PERFECT for this gimmick. It was originally supposed to be Nick Bockwinkel, but there's no way Bockwinkel pulls it off like DiBiase. Just classic. Between this, woman that kissed his feet and of course, kicking the ball away from that adorable black kid on Superstars, he gain MASSIVE HEAT in '87. Should've gotten the belt at some point IMHO
This is and what all WWE heels should aspire to be. He didn't just play the part he became said character and in the entire course of his WWF career never once did he turn face which IMO is always a huge let down when a person does this because it shows that the creative staff are or were running out of ideas for that particular person. Sorry for long rant but Million Dollar Man = Best Heel Ever.
The problem lies 100% with Vince McMahon. The problem is that Vince doesn't let talent do stuff like this anymore and holds the talent down more than anything.
@MystikWizard A good point and one I wont argue with. Seems that Vince now cares what other people think. Not like back in the years past with the whole attitude era and phrases like "suck it" when people did not agree with what they were doing and even before that when he revolutionized the industry. I have been a lifelong fan until recently tuning out because of the disappointing heel characters. They were what got the people worked up in the first place and it's not there anymore for me.
Surely if he was that rich then he would have his own pool?? anyway i remember this, takes me way back. Remember when Virgil turned against him and they had a match? can't remmeber who won though, i'll have to look it up.
Virgil was a slave character. "Yes, Suh!" "No, Suh!" Jeez, how racist can you get? It's bizarre how much of an ego the guy has too... he's an absolute prick in real life and thinks he's the man even though he jobbed to everyone and his gimmick was "loyal slave to white rich man." Also, that kid who remarks, "I came here to swim, not to be shouted at," is pretty funny.
I remember as a kid I hated him and all the other "bad guys" As I got older I realized they WERE the reason I watched every week. Dude the bad guys were the best!! Dibiase, Macho Man, Bobby Heenan were the Best!!!
when i was a kid my old man took us to a lot of wrestling events and ted dibiase was always the best. he had everybody wanting to do anything to get that cash, taught me a lot at a young age.
@smrand2 glad u & I learned thanks to him. I went to wrestlin events too...got my picture taken with Jimmy Hart. Thats also y Im not a hogan fan. Hogan didnt show when he was scheduled to.
Awesome !!! Everybody has a price LOL. Ted : " Virgil, have you ever seen a more gorgeous specimen in all your life ? You know, there are still a lot of people out there who think that moral and pride are more important than money. Can you believe that ?" I love all these kinds of promo by Teddy LOL. Ted : " Don't be upset with the pool manager. He didn't do anything that any one of you wouldn't have done. He had a price just like each every one of you has your price." And Ted is a preacher now.
Ted Dibiase was always my favorite heel back in the day, he never cut aboring promo and i used to root for him when he wrestled, A true classic entertainer
I was surprised when I heard Virgil speak for the first time after the '91 Rumble...I always thought he would have this deep booming voice...instead of it being high and smooth, lol.
Papa "Priceless" was the man when he popped up in the Federation, he was almost immediately thrown in with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and Heenan. Because of Hulk, and Savage's push as champ, Ted never got a chance with the top belt, they created the Million Dollar Belt instead of giving Ted the I-C belt. Because of Honky, then soon after came the Ultimate Warrior and Rick Rude, bad timing for Ted but his heat was real. Old school rulebreakers never disappoint (like Randy Orton).
Not sure but Batista gets injured pretty often (for real), more than any other big name wrestler right now. If he's not careful Mr. Mcmahon may release him like he did Kurt Angle a few years back if Mr. Mcmahon isn't confident that Batista can stay healthy.
This is great!! I have never seen the discussion from this before. Very cool! I always look for old videos of the original Ted Dibiase. I have seen most of them already. I think Ted and Virgil should have had their own TV show. I liked that Bobby Heenan made fun of people who work for a living.
I would have held out for $1000. AH HA HA HA HA!!! Long live Ted Dibiase.
