WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently appeared on an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast. He discussed several topics, including the company’s lackluster creative in the 1990s.
DiBiase said, “I don’t know. I mean, it’s kind of like — a marketing decision? I mean he was, you know, appealing to a much younger audience, I guess, is what he was trying to do. Because you got a lot of little fans, you know, wrestling fans, and they’re going to go out, and they’re going to buy the stuff, the dolls and all the stuff.”
On being around William Shatner:
“I would see him at Comic Cons, and he would be like one of the featured guys, for autograph signing, you know, William Shatner. And yeah, he was pretty much a stuck-up asshole… I never walked up and said, ‘Hello’ to him or anything. Because most of the time he was kind of like — you know, there’s a certain way I act when I don’t want to be bothered, but it’s not all the time. It seemed like it was there all the time. ‘Don’t bother me, don’t bother me.’”
