Alright worker, and absolutely not a sign of interesting or charismatic character, would do nice as enhancement talent or indie traveler, if he didn't go to prison for whatever fraud or shit that he commited. If Vince showed as much enthusiasm for Sr. as he did for Jr. Million dollar man would be multi time WWE champ and rightfully so. I can't make my mind on who is my fav "he could have broken the streak", Ted or Kozlov. Would give an 3 if Cody never told that referee story lol"

[3.0] "Ted DiBiase Jr. had every opportunity to succeed but never made the most of it. Coming from wrestling royalty and debuting with a tag team title win, he was positioned for success early on as part of Legacy with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. But unlike his stablemates, DiBiase never showed real charisma or presence. He came off as bland, both on the mic and in the ring, and once Legacy ended, his career fizzled quickly. Outside the ring, his involvement in the Mississippi welfare fraud scandal only tarnishes his name further. For someone with all the tools handed to him, he delivered very little. Hard to believe there was a time that people thought he'd fare better long term than Cody Rhodes"

[6.0] "Ted DiBiase Jr. had all the tools on paper--solid look, athletic background, a strong wrestling lineage--but he never quite broke out beyond midcard status. He was technically sound in the ring and worked well in tag teams like Legacy, but charisma and mic skills were always a weak point. His character work never felt fully developed, and in the WWE system, that matters as much as in-ring ability. Still, he had some quality matches and moments, and wasn't a liability in the ring. A decent hand who could've gone further with the right booking and character evolution."

[4.0] "Decent in ring wrestler, just lacked the personality and never was anything more than the third member of Legacy. He may have had the look, but that means nothing when you can't put on good matches or lack charisma, sad he never inherited his dad's talents. Compare him to Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton and you'll get what I mean."

[4.0] "Ted Dibiase was solid in the ring. Would not put him as a good technical wrestler but he could keep up with just about anyone. His promo skills were good but he never had the charisma to make it without Orton and Rhodes. Post WWE he retired and found himself stuck in the Mississippi welfare fraud."

[5.0] "I always thought that Ted was a solid in ring worker. He more or less had to be to be working with all of the top names in the big scene that he was working with during his time. However, my thing with him was that he never figured out who he was as a personality. And when you don't have that figured out or know who you are as a character, you can't bring that in to your wrestling, your promos, anything, and you just come across as just another body on a television show across all facets. Which was pretty much Ted's fate because in some cases, his in ring work never made up for the fact that didn't have a personality, especially in the era that he came in on."
DEADLOCK66 wrote on 16.08.2023:
[5.0] "Ted Jr had potential and seemed like he could've had a decent career. I think he wasn't enjoying it. He could've ended up as a decent technical wrestler. But most people outside of WWE thought Cody had more potential during their legacy days. They figured that out eventually. JR had potential but never lived up to it. Average wrestler."

[4.0] "Some 2nd generation guys live up to or surpass their Fathers, others just come off as mediocre or flat out terrible. Teddy Jr was rather mediocre and was at his best as a stable spot holder in Legacy. Figured it was all over when they tried to give him his Dad's old gimmick. That went as well as you could expect."

[4.0] "Ted was around during one of WWE's dullest periods in history and he kind of epitomised that. Decent size and a good look but was just a whole load of nothing when it came to in-ring work, charisma and promos."
KingsCrossing wrote on 05.03.2023:
[4.0] "I'm quite surprised that Ted Jr's current rating is over a 6.0. I recall being totally confused by his hype during the Legacy days - he always struck me as clearly inferior to Cody Rhodes. I wouldn't go as far as to call him 'bad', but he was certainly bland. I don't believe he stood out in any way, and he relied heavily on his father's name to get noticed. He failed to ever demonstrate an ability to get over on his own merit."

[3.0] "It was like a deer in the headlights almost every match. I know it's hard to say no to the WWE but he is the perfect example of someone should have spent a few years on the Indy scene. Could have been a great heel with a lot seasoning."
texasyosh wrote on 10.05.2022:
[4.0] "Ted is pretty unremarkable. He's remembered as the worst wrestler in his family's history, the worst member of Legacy, etc. He was remarkably uncharismatic and pretty passable in the ring. If it wasn't for his father, he wouldn't have gotten far."
Ma Stump Puller wrote on 19.03.2021:
[5.0] "Idk, it always felt like DiBiase Jr just didn't really care enough when it came to his career: this wasn't helped by the momentous hill of expectation he needed to climb considering his father was regarded as one of the top workers of his time: even if he DID do well it was always gonna be compared to the unnatural levels of talent that people were thinking with the name. Regardless, while he was a good size and look, he just didn't have any of the ring skill or charisma to really cut it: he always sounded off in his promos and just seemed disingenuous in how he spoke. He was still fine as a tag partner with Cody but the ceiling was quite short for someone like him, and despite WWE trying to give him the exact same gimmick that his father made famous, it didn't get him over, surprisingly enough."
KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 10.03.2021:
[5.0] "When Ted Jr. burst on the scene, it looked like he had all the tools to become the next Randy Orton. And then, it just didn't happen. It felt like WWE's giving up on him was sudden. But at the same time, if you look back, he never really did anything of interest. I'm not sure where to place the majority of the blame; to WWE or to Ted himself. But after he slid down the card & they tried to rebrand him with the Million Dollar Championship, it was clear that he was not going to find much success the way his father did."

TheV2 wrote on 28.09.2019:
[5.0] "Ted Jr. was a pretty good wrestler indeed for the WWE-style-matches of his time and in his last months he could improve on his character work as a face. There was some potential for him to be something for the mid-card. But I respect his guts to stay honest with himself. It always felt like he wasn't proud of the Million Dollar Man as a father. If that's true or not shouldn't be a public case, but he had his reasons to decide for his son and his family. If he came back, there wouldn't be any position for him, but that's just because of lack of experience."

[6.0] "09/2009: Gutes Micwork, auch der Wrestlingstil gefällt mir, aber sein Gimmick hat derzeit noch zu wenig besonderes Profil für den Mainevent. Auf seine Entwicklung bin ich aber gespannt. 04/2018: Es zeigte sich, dass der Fortunate Son nicht den nötigen langen Atem hatte (gerade im Vergleich zu seinem früheren Tag-Partner Cody), sich im Wrestling-Biz einen Namen zu machen. Nach dem vielversprechenden Start in der WWE, stagnierte immer mehr vor sich hin, bis er zwischen 2011 und 13 kaum noch auffiel. Im Indy-Bereich war dann auch nix auffälliges mehr von ihm zu vernehmen."

[3.0] "Dull in the ring, unnatural on the mic, and even devoid of physical charisma. Technically competent enough to look like he belonged in the ring, certainly, but simply so bland that I can't imagine anyone taking an active interest in watching him. A complete channel-turner."

The Chosen One wrote on 04.06.2016:
[3.0] "Unlike his father Ted Dibiase Jr. never had the charisma and never really found a gimmick that suited him well. His time in Legacy was probably the best and most well known gimmick and it was a pretty good one two. He kind of lacked in the ring and was not good on the microphone either. Overall a pretty bad wrestler."
Super Mastodon wrote on 26.03.2016:
[4.0] "Talk about boring! Ted DiBiase Jr. was a decent wrestler but he just has no charisma and overall boring, he really wasn't able to get these traits from his father. He's retired now and I think that's for the best."
SlothFacts wrote on 27.01.2016:
[3.0] "A black-hole of charisma. Lacks any real presence, and isn't anything special in the ring. At one point, he got a face gimmick where he called his fans "The DiBiase Posse. " That name is the only memorable thing about his run with the WWE."
DanTalksRasslin wrote on 04.01.2016:
[6.0] "Though he didn't inherit his father's charisma, Ted Jr. was in his own right a solid hand in the mid-card ranks, a good heel as well as a surprisingly-good fan-friendly babyface, and, had he stuck with wrestling, certainly had the potential to continue growing as a performer and perhaps down the line move up the card (and escape his father's shadow). He instead decided to move on from wrestling to focus on other things, and hey, good for him. Interesting that neither he nor his father ever held a singles title in WWE."
Piegas wrote on 31.08.2015:
[5.0] "Not quite bad. Not quite good. I don't really have anything bad or good to say about him as there's nothing really remarkable about him besides his name."
PWC wrote on 19.06.2015:
[5.0] "For whatever reason, this guy couldn't follow in his father's footsteps and be a marquee player for the WWE. Cody was always more charismatic and the better worker than Ted junior. His "DiBiase Posse" gimmick never really got off the ground and lacked a good look to get over with the crowd. Maryse was more over than Ted when he was with her. Triple H pretty much buried this man's career when HHH pedigreed Ted through the announcer table on Raw in 2011."
PWF wrote on 12.08.2014:
[7.0] "Rumors said, back in 2010, that DiBiase could win the Royal Rumble turning face and feuding with Randy Orton for the WWE title elevating him into the main event status. People seemed alright with that. He was young, had good mic skills and charisma as well as good in-ring skills and was quite a hard worker. That didn't happen though. And that was DiBiase's biggest chance to reach the spotlight. He's good wrestler and worker but bad decisions by both the WWE (his already mentioned failed push) and him (the DiBiase Posse gimmick) cost him a chance to become a top star in the company."
