This week on “Everybody’ Got A Pod,” WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase took some questions from listeners. Some topics covered include Dr. D slapping John Stossel, Paul Orndorff, and the toughest men in wrestling.
Ted DiBiase explained why it’s hard for him to watch today’s wrestling product:
“It’s so hard for me to watch today’s product because I watch them and it’s like, okay, I might as well be watching a tumbling match because all I see is them doing high spots. I used to take a bump, we call it an ass bump where the guy picks you up and it looks like he’s dropping your rear end right on his leg. I would take that and then I would bounce off of that and I knew how to hit the rope at just the right part of my body to where my legs would fly up and I would go over the top rope to the floor.”
DiBiase continued, “Now today, you do that, they bounce up like nothing happened. I would lay there and sell it. All you young wrestlers out there, learn how to sell. In other words, there’s got to be a reason for a babyface to make a comeback, and unless he sells, I mean, your comeback is only going to be as good as your sell-job.”
