No, but Rob said that Shad will never get close to a main event. Main eventing a show is a main event.

What's so great about Ted DiBiase? I'm not going to say he's bad or anything, but everyone acts like he's one of the best young talents the WWE has. I haven't been watching RAW with exactly an eager eye, but everytime I've seen Teddy D, I've thought him completely inferior to Cody Rhodes in both ring skills and mic skills.

With The Marine 2 coming out, I have no doubt that Ted will turn face, and probably get a run against Orton, but does anyone think he is ready?

Supreme Olajuwon 07-07-2009 08:47 PM

No he's not ready, but Jeff Hardy wasn't ready when he feuded with the Undertaker either.

I hesitate on DiBiase because I think how far he goes really depends on how he performs in breaking away from Orton. Right now he hasn't shown much on the mic or in the ring, but he hasn't exactly been given the opportunity, either. His interactions with his dad and the match with Orton on RAW this week showed me that there's at least potential there. To me, he's got a good look, he's got the potential to be decent on the mic with some work, and I think he's just got a really cool finisher. ;)

He's far from ready for a world title reign, but I wouldn't be upset if he got a shot or two in the next year as a filler feud, only making an eventual world title win that much bigger. I really wish they'd do that more often, rather than having guys win their first world title in their first try. It makes the moment that much more memorable.

No, but he was over. Maybe not to the degree he is now, but he was definately over. Ted Dibiase is hardly over at all.

It's interesting how many people thought Ted DiBiase was going to be a future World Champ

Mr. Nerfect 01-15-2022 04:29 PM

I dunno why, but I never saw it with him. There just wasn’t any charisma there. He also reminded me a lot of a really good friend I have, who is the most “normal” guy on the planet. You would never think “WWE wrestler” when you look at him, so maybe I was just getting my wires crossed there.

I think Dave reported that he was going to get a big push and was even being considered for The Undertaker’s streak, and people just believed the guy.

I remember he was getting that solid push, and then he stretched CM Phil, so Phil complained and he got buried. DAVE SAID!

DiBiase Posse baby!

#1-norm-fan 01-15-2022 08:26 PM

He had a great look and The DiBiase Possee was wonderful classic campy WWE babyface stuff.

erickman 01-15-2022 08:38 PM

miz zigler and kofi are the only 3 still there

Cody Rhodes - mid to upper midcard
Evan Bourne - upper midcard
Festus - midcard (had no idea this guy was only 25)
Jack Swagger - World Champion
Kofi Kingston - upper midcard, sporadic main eventer
The Miz - mid to upper midcard
Primo Colon - midcard
Ted Dibiase - World Champion
Curt Hawkins - midcard
Dolph Ziggler - upper midcard
Jimmy Wang Yang - midcard but probably not
John Morrison - World Champion
JTG - midcard
Shad - mid to upper midcard
Zack Ryder - upper midcard

Haven't seen enough of the Hart Dynasty or the new guys on ECW to make much of a judgment

Yes

Technically yes
Nailed it

seems like vince is 'cooling off' on Austin Theory and has moved onto Madcap Moss

screech 01-16-2022 03:46 PM

Bummer. Much prefer Theory to this version of Moss.

Bad News Gertner 01-16-2022 03:57 PM

Moss has been with the company since 2014! Jesus.

Mr. Nerfect 01-17-2022 10:48 AM

Moss is actually really good. Now I can see that he’s had time to practice.
