Ted DiBiase talks about being at RAW last week and knowing Benoit

Posted: Jul 2nd 2007 By: CMBurnham

Ted DiBiase appeared on the "Greta" show. Here are some highlights:

DiBiase was backstage at Raw last week. He said he is now a full time minister, and joined the show from Louisville.

DiBiase said he knew Benoit for 10 years. "A great guy," said DiBiase of Benoit. DiBiase said he was totally dedicated to the trade, and helped young wrestlers. He said he admired Benoit.

He said he had just arrived in Corpus Christi, Texas for Raw when word of Chris's death flittered in. He said people were crying, including himself. He said there was no speculation at the time, and heard rumors hours later of the ruling in the case. DiBiase said he didn't talk to Vince McMahon that night.

He was scheduled to do a cameo that night and instead they did a three hour Benoit tribute. DiBiase said wrestlers were allowed to go home or do tribute interviews.

DiBiase said he was at a crossroads in 1992 while doing drugs, messing around with women, etc. and realized he risked his marriage and the well being of his family, and took responsibility for his actions.

DiBiase said he was randomly drug tested when he wrestled. He said WWE tests for all kinds of drugs today.
