Ted Dibiase goes out to eat, 1987 - Prime Time Wrestling

Another of the vignettes the WWF used to introduce the Million Dollar Man in the summer of 1987. This was taken from Prime Time Wrestling. Prior to that, we get a Snake Pit in which Mr. T explains how he's going to be a special enforcer in the WWF (how long did he last, 2 weeks?), a concept to which former ref, now Hart Foundation member, Dangerous Danny Davis takes great umbrage.

@tonshaad1230 Of all the things to be elitist about, you gotta be elitist about wrestling? LOL

LOL. Dibiase! He played that character to the fullest. Jake looked like Don Johnson with that suit on like that with the spandex tank-top under it.

@ir10031981 That's why it worked so well! In wrestling, you need to have a good guy talking up the faces and a bad guy talking up the heels. They played off of each other so well because of this. It also made for entertaining television seeing them argue and bicker all of the time. If people agree all the time aka two faces/two heels it wouldn't be half as fun!

[ir10031981]

not to be so sensitive but how can Gorilla Monson and Bobby Heenan work together? Monsoon is a straight up face and Heenan is a straight up heel.
