2805.07.2024Johan10.0Great wrestler, could even carry the likes of Ultimate warrior to great matches, absolutely brilliant technician on the mat and one of the great promos when it comes to mic work, was a given NWA champion and also a given Four Horseman member, Ted Dibiase I've to say is one of those guys who are confirmed to have had two generational hall of fame worthy carees depending on whatever company he chose.

3117.06.2024Hippykillerz7.0Ted has one of the greatest gimmicks of all time in the form of the Million Dollar Man. The question is: did he make the gimmick or did the gimmick make him? Personally, I think the gimmick made him. He was skilled in ring but it only ever came out with certain others, he couldn't carry a weaker opponent to a good match IMO. He was very successful in very promotion he found himself in so he knew how to get over. Could he have been World champ? Yes but not a long reign. Overall, a very good performer who I think is a little overrated.

4530.01.2024BostonIdol9.0Ted DiBiase was one of the top workers who emerged in the mid-seventies along with Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Bob Backlund, and Jumbo Tsuruta. Ted combined athleticism and precision across a wide array of wresting moves. His early babyface work lacked passion, with Ted coming across more like a younger Dory Funk Jr. You can see this in his full length match against Pat Patterson in the WWWF. Ted and Pat were a revelation by WWWF standards of the time, but they didn't really engage the crowd in that match. Ted moved on to Georgia where he ended up replacing Stan Frazier as Robert Fuller's partner in the long running Freebirds feud that featured a revolving cast of local babyfaces opposite the 'Birds. This led to the infamous TV studio match angle where Terry Gordy gave DiBiase multiple piledrivers both inside and outside the ring before Tommy Rich threw in the towel to save DiBiase. Ted gave interviews from the hospital while spending a month recovering. In reality, Ted was working for Giant Baba on a three week tour of All Japan. Ted's career and his connection with audiences started to take off when he turned heel in the early eighties. Ted could back up his swagger with the best execution in whatever promotion he was working for, but he could also use his phenomenal bumping ability to put over even the most limited babyfaces. Looking back, there aren't many classic matches from this era. One might think this was because Ted was trying to use his moves, heel charisma, and ring psychology to cover for hot babyfaces like Jim Duggan and Magnum T.A. who barely knew how to construct a match, but Ted's matches against top flight workers like Ric Flair, Harley Race, Jumbo Tsuruta, and Terry Gordy weren't classics either. There was something structurally missing in Ted's work. Years later, as the top heel in the WWF, he would have exciting matches against fellow spot machines like Randy Savage, but when boiled down they were a bunch of spots, some sloppier than others, leading to an angle driven finish. There are no Flair vs Steamboat or Flair vs Windham level matches in Ted's library which is a shame, because he was in some ways a superior worker. In the end I would compare DiBiase to another ring technician, Bret Hart, but Hart developed the ability to tell stories in his matches that made his high end work superior, despite criticisms about "five moves of doom." In the end Ted DiBiase was clearly one of the top ten workers of his generation, yet had less to show for it than many rivals.

4707.01.2024BrianMarvel Ted DiBiase: One of the greatest wrestling heels ever. Many people want to (for one reason or another) completely discount or ignore DiBiase's WWF World Title reign in the beginning of February 1988. Ted successfully purchased the title on nationwide TV before the largest wrestling audience ever & made at least one title defense against Bam Bam Bigelow. Jack Tunney got cold feet from all the negative publicity as litter & trash flew into the ring on the eve of DiBiase's first defense...so Tunney appeased the humanoids & gave Hogan & Andre "a bye" as Ted had to scratch, claw & fight his way to the finals of a grueling 4 hour tournament! Life can be SO unfair!

5407.11.2023Loge9.0MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY! We love Ted. We love the million dollar championship. We love Ted for making the million dollar championship. We love Ted for bringing the million dollar championship to NXT. Ted is the man. He's got that swagger, the best attire, and the best laugh in the history of Wrestling. He's a wholesome guy who's been able to take care of himself, and is celebrated as an awesome wrestling veteran and a classic heel who paved the way for many to come. Also he's a W for giving The Ringmaster Steve Austin and LA Knight the million dollar championship.

5623.10.2023Der Galische Krieger10.0Top 10 wrestler of all time without a doubt. One of the best for in ring psychology, technical ability & ring work, great on the mic. For a big man he could get around the ring, took some amazing bumps and would take them all day. He could get anyone he touched over, even Virgil. He could wrestle a brown paper bag and get it over. Better as an arrogant heel, which nearly got him killed in Mid-South and later was pivotal to keeping Hulkamania alive for another few years. He pulled off one of the greatest gimmicks of all time in Million Dollar Man. Pity he was used mainly as a talent booster in the WWF for Vince's fetish of muscles & monsters. Could of had another run chasing the gold if they had the right champion for him, as he had some great matches with Savage for the belt. Both him & Savage carried the SummerSlam 88 main event to a classic. Above all everything he done was real and legitimate, a pro wrestler straight out of the players handbook. If he was to lose any points it would be for his time spent as a manager, it should of worked and would of worked if he was 80's Million Dollar Man, but it just never felt right. 9.9*
5717.10.2023celticinvader8.0Probably the best heel in 80s wrestling. Ted DiBiase's character work was sublime, being one of the first real "love to hate" heels that wasn't just a racial stereotype. Also great in ring, and a major factor in the best storylines the golden age of the Fed had.

6119.09.2023DangoDaisuki6.0Charismatisch ja, gut im Ring war er eigentlich nie so wirklich. Deshalb fand ich ihn schon immer überbewertet und habe auch nie verstanden warum Leute ihn so gerne mögen könnten. Aber er ist schon ein ganz netter Heel gewesen. Von daher bekommt er 6 Punkte.
6212.07.2023MattHall10.0Probably the best heel of the WWF 80s era. He worked his gimmick so fucking well, he was smooth on the mic, the ring, and had size. As a young wrestling fan who likes old-school WWE. I can say that Ted DiBiase The Million Dollar Man should've been the WWF champion or at least IC Champion during his tenure with the company.

6404.07.2023MorbidAxis6.0Honestly was never a huge fan of DiBiase. He was decent in the ring and was as charismatic as they come. I cant explain it.

6819.06.2023crs2858.0Ted DiBiase was a great wrestler. DiBiase was good in the ring for his time period. He made his money as the million-dollar man character. His promo work was always good, and he played the character perfectly. One of the greatest heels wrestling has ever seen.

7209.04.2023Giantfan19809.0Brilliant heel and I would dare say he was on par with Ric Flair of NWA/WCW from that 1987-1990 WWF. Dibiase should have gotten the WWF title at least once, for a few months.

7818.12.2022Squared Circle7.0I guess you can give him points for tenacity. He was good on the mic and had a decent move set, but he was way out classed physically by the mobile giants of his day. Always brought an effort and in a lesser time, probably goes gown with a better legacy. In the age of Hulkamania however, he is barely a footnote, totally overpushed. I much preferred his work with Steve Williams, now THAT was an excellent team. I also felt he had chemistry with Steve Travis in his first time through the WWWF. He also added a bit to the nWo, but not a ton.

8206.10.2022RavenCrow757.0For the most part I will be basing my Wrestler ratings on five criteria four of which are based on in-ring ability and the last on charisma. I believe these five criteria are pro wrestling's version of Tommy Lasorda's criteria of "five points" in baseball. For pro wrestling those five criteria are power, speed, technical ability, hardcore & charisma. Ted DiBiase's scores: Power: 7 Speed: 5 Technical: 8 Hardcore: 8 Charisma: 7 for a total of 35 and an average of 7.

8709.05.2022Tomas Cunha10.0Amazing professional wrestler. Everything about 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase screams money - no pun intended LOL! He's the perfect antagonist for any good guy, and could evelate anyone he worked with. Astonishing promo skills, fantastic in-ring, brilliant character work, and a simply perfect villain.
8804.05.2022Conquistador3710.0One of the most important wrestlers from the previous century. Quickly established himself as one of America's best overall workers by the very early 80's. A true elevator of the sport/business, one of those who raised the work rate bar and made for a MUCH better product overall. Chemistry with essentially anyone and an ability to bring others up to his standard of ring work. Probably the #1 reason Mid South was as successful as it was for so long. Major player in the WWF's golden era, a pillar and cornerstone by all means. I could start listing more details but his work over the years speaks for itself. Wrestling was & is a WAY better place/thing to enjoy because of Ted Dibiase. Critical/Essential/Top tier/Underrated!

9404.12.2021benny5bellys8.0Million Dollar Man was all time great gimmick. His best work came before he got to the WWF but he could still go in period he reached international fame. A great promo too.

9616.10.2021Pete Gallows9.0The Million Dollar Man, always gets his way ahahahahaha! The guy just became the gimmick, does not break kayfabe to the extend of stealing money from the poor, along with his sons, thanks to their church charity scam. That is dedication my friends. Everybody? s got a price, for Ted DiBiase the price consists of aid money that were intended for poor people, worth millions of dollars. Ahahahahaha! Vince should totally use this as a part of Teds gimmick - from what I gather, he? s currently on NXT. It could go something like this: ahahaha remember the video from the late 90s when I cut that promo in a church, saying that Stone Cold 3:16 is a blasphemy? Well, those stupid poor people were so gullible that I took their money and they did not even know! Ahahahaha! And instead of being in prison, Vince gave me a job on NXT. The Million Dollar Man, always gets his way ahahahahah! Support DiBiase heart of David ministries? ahahahhaha!
