Dibiase/Legacy Circa 2009

Give the video a watch...did the WWE miss the boat on a Dibiase face turn here? Seems like that was the direction they were going in, and damn was Ted over because of it (and played his role perfectly). Should they have pulled the trigger on his face turn? What would it have meant for the long term future of Randy Orton's character? Would Ted have "made" it as a face...can he still make it?

Seems to me that if Orton hadn't started getting face pops, that a Dibiase/Orton feud would have been the one going into Wrestlemania, probably with Rhodes as the conflicted ref. At least in the short term, it would have been either Dibiase or Orton as a face, not both...and while they obviously pulled the trigger with Orton correctly, as I watch this I tend to think that they squandered a lot by not having Dibiase turn.
