Ted DiBiase

I am yet to see RAW, but I read amazing things about Ted DiBiase's "match" with Randy Orton this week. Basically Orton and DiBiase had a match, and Orton wanted DiBiase to fall into line and not fight back, and take a beating like a man for pinning him the previous week.

From the sounds of it, the fans REALLY wanted to see DiBiase snap and kick the shit out of Orton. Of course, Teddy didn't, but it sounds like a brilliant way to get the fans into DiBiase as a face. Instead of just "turning him," they are giving the fans reasons to care about him, and really demand he turn face.

This reminds me of what I wish they had done in 2004 with Randy Orton, when the turmoil with Evolution came up. Orton was getting a lot of crowd support, and turning him face was not a bad move, per se, but when they pulled the trigger as predictably as they did, it didn't take long for Orton to run out of steam as a face (it happened almost instantly).

I'll see RAW tomorrow, but there wasn't too much discussion about this in the RAW thread. What did everyone think of this? Do you think this storyline could turn DiBiase into a big face for the company?
