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 fellow WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan using heel tactics as a babyface.
DiBiase said, “The thing that made that so good is that he is the good guy. Everybody knows he’s the good guy and he’s reversing it on his heels. Instead of me loading my glove as I used to do and knocking somebody out, I get hit with the helmet and he wins the match, you know, And it’s like to all the fans. And so they’re behind me. I thought it was great. Yeah, because we all know he’s a cheater, so I’m going to give him a little bit of his own. There you go. I was hysterical.”
He commented on the rankings of wrestlers like the PWI 500.
“Not really. If you’re an actor, do you always run out and get the latest edition of What’s That magazine? People Magazine or the magazine that’s got all their rankings of who and what and where. Dave Meltzer, I said some things. Sometimes, I thought he hit it and not just about me, but sometimes he hit it. He hit it on the nail on the head. Sometimes I thought, ‘What are you talking about?”
DiBiase also talked about Bruce Prichard.
“What’s funny is I can’t remember any Bruce stories, probably because I was inebriated every time we went out. But I know, that when he went to work for Vince and then I and I signed with Vince. Do you remember those, the vignettes, and they quit doing this and I never could figure out why. But before anybody ever saw me walk into an arena. Yeah, they saw like 5 or 6 weeks of, like, here’s this guy, Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, and I kicked kids out of a swimming pool. I kicked a honeymoon couple out of the honeymoon suite because it was the best room in the hotel. I did all these things. Well, Bruce was the guy who produced those, and we did them all in the Houston area.”
