Ted DiBiase Interview

Posted: Jul 20th 2007 By: CMBurnham

First thing first, thank you very much for this interview, it's a real privilege to interview a big name of the business like your, now let's begin the interview...

1)Would you please introduce yourself to the fans who maybe don't know you?

Well, I began wrestling while still in college. I wrestled for Mid-South Wrestling and Georgia Championship Wrestling (NWA) before moving on to the WWF. In the WWF, I gained fame and fortune as The Million Dollar Man. After I retired from the WWF, I founded Heart of David Ministries and have been spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ ever since.

2)How your wrestling passion is borned and how did you get involved with the business?

My parents were part of the wrestling family. My dad, Iron Mike DiBiase died in the ring. So, I guess you could say it was in my blood from the beginning.

3)What do you rememeber most about your very first wrestling match?

Not much - other than I lost.

4)Your gimmick is well knowed around the world as people like JBL in WWE and Bobby Roode in TNA took the inspiration from you to create their, where did you get the inspiration the create your?

I didn?t. My character was the product of Vince McMahon. He created the character (a model of himself) and offered it to me. If it wasn't me, he would have given it to someone else.

5)In your opinion, why people like Owen Hart, Curt Henning and you didn't ever won a world championship title?

I have won world titles in other organizations. In the WWF, everything is worked for the storyline. Also, it is dependent on who is being pushed which is based on the person being able to get over with the fans.

Any of the "old school" wrestlers: Sting, Shawn Michaels, Triple H....

7)You wrestled against Bret Hart after the death of one of his brothers, how is to step up inside the square circle and wrestle in that condition?

I wasn?t wrestling at that time, but I imagine it would be very difficult.

Big, talented. Nice guy.

9) Three adjectives to describe today's WWE....

Lack of talent.

10) And Other three to describe yesterday's WWF..

Over the top.

11) Your most memorable moment in the business...

Witnessing Jesus Christ to my friends in the back rooms of the arenas.

12) "Everybody has a price" is your famous catchphrase, what is your opinion about it?

It worked. :)

13) Your memories about First Lady...

Who do you mean? Elizabeth? Very pretty and a good manager.

14) If you have the chance to comeback in the business, who would you like to face inside the ring?

Not interested in coming back as a wrestler.

A retired football player and an evangelist.

I haven?t really watched much of him.

As always, it's top notch.

18) If you have the chance to compose a "Best of Ted Biase" DVD, which matches would you put on it and why?
