Ted Dibiase Jr. has quit the WWE.
 
He said he's not saying it will be forever, but he's deciding not to resign his contract.

I dont think ive seen him on TV in 3 years.

Shadrick 08-26-2013 12:18 PM

He was wrestling on Smackdown recently.

whiteyford 08-26-2013 12:20 PM

It'll be good for him to try the Impact zone out I guess.

Volare 08-26-2013 12:23 PM

IMO another case of hey, you're a 3rd Generation........and we got nothin for ya.

Hanso Amore 08-26-2013 12:27 PM

Another case of "all you have is your name, we gave you a shot and you did literally nothing to stand out"

Hanso Amore 08-26-2013 12:28 PM

Lets be honest, if he had any value they would have found something for him. In the back or on NXT or something.

If his name was Ted Smith he would have never been signed, and was never really any good. his best work came not because of himself or his skill, but because he fit into "Legacy" because of his family, and was involved in a HOT FEUD and GROUP.

Shadrick 08-26-2013 12:31 PM

I like when he was paired with maryse and started rockin the stubble, that had potential.

I also liked when he paid Primo and Carlito money in an envelope to beat someone up. He stood at the top of the ramp and gave them cash. I thought "this will be the start of something interesting" and thats LITERALLY the only night they did it. I think its a combination of lack of push and lack of strong suits.

Skippord 08-26-2013 12:32 PM

good to know he's still alive

Shadrick 08-26-2013 12:33 PM

Meanwhile Cody, the one who everyone said would be the least successful out of Legacy has constantly been stepping his game up over the last few years...and become more and more interesting.

Ultra Mantis 08-26-2013 12:47 PM

Not surprising since they seemed to have no intention of using him again without a major overhaul, which likely would have been a wasted effort anyway since he just never seemed to click with anything he was given post Legacy.

He was better than McGillicutty, I'll give him that.

Whats a Ted DiBiase Jr.?

Evil Vito 08-26-2013 01:02 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I forgot he existed.</font>

Lock Jaw 08-26-2013 01:11 PM

Damn, there go my plans to host a Dibiase Posse Tailgate Party at Monday Night RAW!

Theo Dious 08-26-2013 01:23 PM

Yeah everything that could be said has been said. He dropped the ball. Maybe he'll go find himself and come back strong someday.

Hanso Amore 08-26-2013 01:49 PM

Hes not the drizzling shits, but hes limited going forward. If he goes to TNA its just HEY ITS DIBIASES KID AND FORMER WWE GUY and thats all he will ever be. IF he goes back to the WWE at any point hes just a loser who came back.

He lacks the Workrate for ROH virgins as well.

Oh well. He had an OK run with the WWE. That counts for something.

Curd 08-26-2013 01:50 PM

Who do y'all prefer: Ted Dibiase Jr. or Chris Masters?

Hanso Amore 08-26-2013 02:11 PM

Masters by a fuck ton. And I didnt like him that much.

Agree. Had two great chances with the inherited "Million Dollar Man" gimmick and then the reverse of that but neither of them stuck or helped him in the long run.

Same here. I still get a chuckle from his post-SummerSlam 2005 promo with Shawn Michaels.

Curd 08-26-2013 02:18 PM

Masters has worked Family Wrestling Entertainment in NY under his real name, and Dibiase could work a program with Mordetzki over there. FEW also changes title holders like every other show, so they could both hold at least the Tri Borough Title if not the Heavyweight Title.

Masters is looking "ripped" these days:

Shadrick 08-26-2013 03:25 PM

I forgot how sick that tat was.

Rammsteinmad 08-26-2013 05:42 PM

I liked DiBiase, but yeah, he was going nowhere anyway. Remember how over he was that night when people wanted him to attack Orton, and he didn't? :(

Cool King 08-26-2013 05:46 PM

Yeah, I get the feeling things would be majorly different now, if he did attack Orton.

Like he probably would be a two time Intercontinental Champion with decent reign lengths or something.

You forgot, "THIS IS THE BIGGEST ACQUISITION IN TNA HISTORY!!!!".

screech 08-26-2013 06:08 PM

Rats. I was a fan. He probably got as far as he was going to go.

Met him when The Marine 2 came out. He was a really nice guy.

Or he could have been Alex Riley'd

#1-norm-fan 08-26-2013 07:04 PM

At the very least, he has a much better look than CAWdy. He should have been more than he was. Unfortunately he never got the awesome gimmick to work with that Cody got to get him somewhat over and ended up just drifting aimlessly most of the time. The guy isn't nearly as bad as people wanna make him out to be though.

#1-norm-fan 08-26-2013 07:06 PM

Also, the DiBiase Posse was fucking awesome.

I saw Masters wrestle a few months ago for Big Time Wrestling. He looked pretty good but lost to their champion some jacked up guy named Flex Armstrong.

Thanks for the report! :y:

The Condor 08-26-2013 07:52 PM

DiBiase is doing the same thing countless people do each day, leaving a fairly secure job that they aren't satisfied with to try something else. Kudos to him

JimmyMess 08-26-2013 08:19 PM

he was always just kind of .... there.... wasn't bad wasn't good... just was.

Black Widow 08-27-2013 06:55 AM

His dad's name might help him more in TNA.

whiteyford 08-27-2013 11:44 AM

Seasoning will only benefit him in the long run, if he'd stuck around he'd be doing nothing but picking up a pay cheque and I guess he can always go back down the line.

Corporate CockSnogger 08-27-2013 12:17 PM

He'd have been better than Hennig's kid getting the Heyman guy push.

Ultra Mantis 08-27-2013 12:37 PM

Yeah they could have renamed him IronE Dollars (named after his grandfather, his father and T-Dog from the Walking Dead) like how they changed McGillicutty to Curtis Axel. Already would have been better.

IronE could then feud with Big E Langston over the use of the capitalised E.

Corporate CockSnogger 08-27-2013 12:49 PM

I just meant because he's shown at least a slice of personality and doesn't look disproportionate.
