I remember going to see the WWF house shows at the CYC in Scranton. We never had enough money for tickets, so my brother and I would hangout in the back alley and the wrestlers would come out back occasionally during the show to get some fresh air or what not. I remember Dibiase coming out and he was so much bigger and more intimidating than he looked on tv. Granted I was only about 11 years old, but still. He seemed really nice though, while still staying in character. He was outside about 10 seconds, looked at the crowd and says “it’s hot as shit in there!” And everyone laughed. He was out there a few more minutes and I worked up the courage to tell him was among my top 3 favorites (I always liked the heels as a kid) I expected him to be a dick because this was still the kayfabe days, but he goes “thanks. Smart kid here!”. I had old pics from back then but long gone unfortunately. Good times haha
Lovely memories, I loved wrestling back then ,, but I couldn't stand the stuff they put out now. It's all so scripted.
DiBiase was a such a great heel.
His million dollar man gimmick was cool.
I mean this with the utmost respect. During his pro wrestling career, Ted DiBiase looked like he never set foot in a gym. He was a very well-conditioned athlete, who could work hour-long matches. His stamina at Royal Rumble 1990 was impressive at 44:47.
Reminds me alot of Barry Windham in that regard.
@@mattthomas1442 Yeah. Ted and Barry were from a generation where a wrestler's ability to work was considerably more important than having an athletic-looking body was.
Ted lifted the five pound dumbbells and went on the treadmill.
i agree. there were tons of great wrestlers with bad looking bodies. harley race had a giant gut and skinny legs and arms. yet somehow he was champion and everyone was afraid of him in real life. go figure?
I agree with all of the comments. I, too, can appreciate a Professional Wrestler that looked like (and was) a rough and rugged guy...as opposed to looking like a bodybuilder. He mentioned Dick Murdoch. I've seen (hard to imagine) that guy with that beer belly and 6'4" frame preforming athletic moves and combined moves...vertical suplex, flying head scissors, flying drop kicks, flip over the ring ropes!!! A skilled worker that could pound beers and opponents!
Very nice stuff.
back then their options were limited not as many places to eat as there is today no gnc or other health stores and barely any public gyms
This man was the epitome of 80s cool
I read in Ted's autobiography he would eat bologna sandwiches.
While he was the Million Dollar Man?
Yes...he had too! He spent all his money making people do embarrassing stuff for big bucks!
@@vincesmith2499 Idk, on the road to save money. Obviously before that 🙄
I love ya Ted, you are one of my favorites, please try and lay off the "you know" a little
3:00 started going to the gym ? what did he do vacuum the place? bog up the toilets? talk to people while theyre trying to work out , ive been working out for decade's, yeh trying to work out how i got so big and strong, im in shape yep round shape
And it's hard for me to eat I'll get sick also but breakfast was my favorite to eggs sausage hash browns toast steak and that's the most important meal of the day.
I think Ted was natural , and was still a 230 pound man if not bigger if he had went on steroids he could've been 280 or a 300 pound man but could he work
1:20 beer????? thats lite weight drinking 😂
I remember Gorilla Monsoon complementing DiBiase's moves even though he played the heel. DiBiase main evented Wrestle Mania 4 along side Macho Man because they were the best in the ring and the best on the mike.
i liked when gorilla would do that. recognize a good move by the heel. Ventura would do it occasionally too for the babyfaces
If you took a shot every time he says “you know”, you’d be plastered by the end of the interview. It’s so distracting.
The guy is 70 with some probable head trauma from wrestling for a very long time
A lot of wrestlers say that. Haku says it a lot also.
Undertaker the same way you know
You know, I'd probably die of alcohol poisoning if I took a shot every time he said, "you know."
@EBC-ENT I do know you know
You know you know you know
maybe someone can answer this... but is a hamburger steak what i imagine it is? just ground beef patty without a bun?
Yea or cubed steak..just no carb little ketchup on it..gd for keto muscle food.
Breakfast and hamburger steak is proof Ted's a fellow Nebraskan.
I noticed that when you cross into Tennessee, from there on, you see hamburger steak all over menus everywhere you go.
You get to see a wrestler who could h
it the fast powerslam and the falling fist and the good old figure four. Bulky bro would be hard pressed,MTM big and flexibility,real top guy
Me and Ted share a love of Mexican food I could eat it everyday too lol
That’s so unique and special
Ted had a diet and workout routine? 😂😂😂
Do NOT put CM Punk in the same category as Ted or Jake. They were wrestlers that were well over 6ft 250 when most men weren't even 6ft and looked like they were legit badasses. CM Punk looks like a glorified ballet dancer at 180lbs.
For a guy who admitted not to eat very well on the road especially in the mid south days ,he had a pretty good physique.
He was by no means a body guy in other words he was not all rocked up.
He probably ate one meal a day maybe and his gym work was actually in the ring The ring work that he would do match after match, that's how he got his gym work in so to speak.
Ted Dibiase six five, two hundred and sixty pounds. How about that? Funny thing, Teds favorite match was with Hogan from SNME. Lovely stuff. Doink beat Bret at a house show. Austin blames Mero for his split lip, yes sir. Yes he does. Sherri and Liz were supposed to have a program, but Vince nixed it. Aurelian Smith Jr caught a jobber dancing around to his theme and went straight to Vince, citing disrespect on the jobbers part. After the fact, that jobber had to explain and apologise to Smith Jr. Bray beat Rollins on a house show. Bubba was supposed to win the IC title at Mania7. Plans were nixed and then Nailz came along. Crush's heel turn WAS best for business, looking back.
what is all this?
Just a few facts I learned from certain shoot interviews, mixed in with some personal opinions.
So basically he didn't eat after 3pm, but otherwise he ate whatever he felt like eating.
The Million Dollar Diet.
His workout regimen? The guy looked like he had never touched a weight in his life!!
If you saw him in real life in his prime . He was freaking huge ! Just a big frame .
@@MeLoNHeAd00 i did and I looked down at him. He had a dad bod 😂
@@RodSherwood1 I was amazed on how wide he was .
@@RodSherwood1 mind you I was 7 at the time lol
@@MeLoNHeAd00 😂😂😂😂😂
It's refreshing to see "regimen" used properly instead of more popular and often misused "regime" when talking about workouts.
Ted was natural , he was a big guy so he just built a little muscle on his frame so he was toned , he did what Tommy Rich shouldve done and if had he like Ted might have made it to the WWF.😅
He wasn't natural. He said this before
Ted worked out?
he had no muscle just a normal chubby guy
Agree to an extent but he was definitely on some 💉during the late '80's!
@sitcom1971 I do not think so. What makes you say that?
@@marvinfalikovic4177 the skinny arms lack of pecs back muscle etc he's not a pig but he aint no rick rude warrior lex Luger hogan
@@marvinfalikovic4177 There were noticeable signs believe it or not Jake was on it for awhile too even though he never had a good physique he was noticably more muscular with the bloated face.
Jericho has been off and on at different times through the years. Look at the Rock through the years and for sure now he's on high level advanced HGH but early on was off and on during the time he wore a shirt to cover the GYNAECOMASTIA surgery he had done in late '90's. Had to copy and paste the surgery couldn't remember how it was spelled.😅
Massive frame if you saw him in person.
Who cares....
