WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently took to an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he’s feeling these days.
DiBiase said, “As I approach the big seven zero, man, I’ll tell you what, I get up in the morning, and I let the hot water run on my lower back, and it’s kind of like I got to get the old oil can out, too. Let’s let’s get all the parts moving again.”
DiBiase also talked about how he prefers being a commentator over being a manager because there isn’t as much physicality involved.
“I can’t even remember exactly how I felt about it at the time. But I know that if I do this, if I’m at ringside and I’m being more physical, then I’m there more. But if I am just a mouthpiece, it doesn’t require my presence as much. And so based on the length of my career. I think I’ve said that a lot. I always promised myself that by the time I turned 40, I would be out of the ring. I might be part of the show, but I wasn’t going to be a physical part of the show. I wasn’t going to be an active wrestler anymore. As I’m looking at 70, you know, here in just a few months, I’m so glad I made that decision because there’s a lot of other guys that are right about my age that didn’t make that decision. And physically, they’re in much better and worse condition than I am.”
