NXT's Trick Williams Defeats Joe Hendry To Capture The TNA World Title
During a recent edition of his "Everybody's Got a Pod" podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr. expressed his belief that his "Million Dollar Man" gimmick can still work in today's pro wrestling landscape.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his gimmick still working: "I mean, here's the thing. The one thing that everybody hates is someone who, by virtue of their wealth, bullies people. And that was the whole essence of The Million Dollar Man character. I'm this aloof guy, and I'm throwing my money around. It's kind of like, 'Hey, peon, who are you?' All that stuff, everybody hates that. I don't care if it's better now, if you had a character that was like that, I think it could be a big deal."
On traveling as the Million Dollar Man: "No, as the Million Dollar Man -- the performer -- it was always first class... When I was wrestling. When I left and came back, I came back as a manager. So now I might be managing some good guys, but no [it wasn't automatically first class then]. But by that time, I could upgrade myself to first class."
