WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase appeared on an episode of his Everybody’s Got a Pod podcast, where he discussed several topics, including the significance of winning a title in pro wrestling.
DiBiase said, “Number one, the promotion is not going to put a championship belt on somebody unless they know that that person is capable of carrying it. I don’t want to be bragging on myself, but if you’re the guy carrying the belt, and you’re the — you’re the number one in the territory.”
On the challenges of traveling with a title:
“Yeah, you know it’s kind of like — trying to remember what it was. What belt I had, and then we won the Tag Team Titles or something. So now I was a World Tag Team Title holder, and can’t remember. But I said, and I can’t remember who I said to was, ‘You think I’m carrying both of these things all over the country, you’re out of your mind.’”
