WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently appeared on an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, where he discussed a number of topics including fellow WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart and how they are good friends.
DiBiase said, “Bret Hart and I are good friends. I mean, my father wrestled for Stu Hart way back when. And so again, you know, the one thing that Bret and I both had in common is that we came from wrestling families. Which is kind of like — you know, some people did it just for the money. And of course I’m going to do it for the money, but the bottom line is it was a part of my whole life. And so that’s something that you know, Bret and I had in common.”
On how Hart is not in a position to say no in doing his job at Survivor Series 1997:
“If he’s leaving the territory — and you know, I would say, ‘Bret, wrestling is show business. You’re leaving the territory. You’re not really the champion. It’s a work.’ And so, I would put it on, Brett… Bottom line is, when the company asks you to do the job, you do the job. You are not in a position to say ‘no.’”
