Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase Has Responded To Ultimate Warrior's Rant About Him
Posted: May 21st 2010 By: CMBurnham
Ted DiBiase has responded to Ultimate Warrior's internet rant about him, joking: "it made about as much sense as most of his promos did."
The Million Dollar Man upset his former colleague when he said he did not belong in the WWE's Hall Of Fame.
Yesterday The Sun told how Warrior posted a 4,783 word diatribe on his website in reply, in which he repeatedly laid into Ted's wrestling career and religious values - labelling him "Satan's Pig".
He said DiBiase had a "palpable hatred" towards him and was bitter because Warrior made more money and, supposedly, was a better worker.
He also accused Ted of being "a despicable hypocrite" for a former lifestyle that including cheating on his wife and for recently working for WWE, despite criticising some of the raunchier aspects of the product.
DiBiase, now a Christian Minister and devoted husband and father, has emailed his 10-point reply.
He writes: "1. I don't hate anybody. I don't hate Jim, I just don't have much respect for him.
"2. I never said that Vince asked my opinion about him being inducted into the HOF. I said IF I'd been asked, I would have said no.
"3. I don't need Jim to tell me about my lack of discipline, I wrote a whole book about it and barred my soul.
"4. I didn't leave the WWE for any reason other that I wanted to. I left the second time because I didn't want to be on the road anymore and to be at home with my family more. I left the third time because I'm not very 'creative'.
"5. I have a very full life now and am not destitute or a broken down wrestler who's bitter about the past.
"6. The WWE is well aware of my discontent with some of their former programming.
"7. Yes Jim, you disciplined your body and I'm fat. But then, I can work (in the ring) and you can't.
"8. You NEVER led me in a match at any time and you know it.
"9. My problem with Jim is his arrogance. He's got to have his own room to sign autographs in, won't stay at the same hotel with the rest of the boys, demands to have people taking care of his every need at all his appearances, things like that.
"10. I've openly admitted my mistakes and shortcomings to the world, but I guess you still haven't made any! I guess all of the highly successful guys on the DVD were wrong, and you are right?"
