Ted DiBiase It is a legendary figure in the history of professional wrestling. During the last episode of his “Everybody's drop a pod” podcast, the WWE Hall of Fame, He assured that his character of “The Million Dollar Man” could work in the wrestling of today.

Be a distant guy who spends all your money. It's like: 'Hey, but who are you? Do you know who I am? ' All that roll, everyone hates it. I don't care if it's better now. If now there was such a character, I think it could work As the world is, although it could also be a big problem, but that creates interest. In recent years in WWE there have been fighters like JBL or Alberto del Rio with similar attitudes and have worked“.

“They were other times, I tried to maintain my character, especially in spaces where there were many people where they could recognize me. As “The Million Dollar Man” when he took a flight, he was always first class when he fought. When I returned as a manager, representing some good fighters, everything changed. It was not automatically first class at that time. Just as a fighter, I could ascend to first class, they were curious situations of those years. ”
