Former WWE Star Ted Dibiase Responds to Ultimate Warrior’s Rant

News

Here is what Ted had to say via The UK Sun in 10 Points:

“1. I don’t hate anybody. I don’t hate Jim, I just don’t have much respect for him.

“2. I never said that Vince asked my opinion about him being inducted into the HOF. I said IF I’d been asked, I would have said no.

“3. I don’t need Jim to tell me about my lack of discipline, I wrote a whole book about it and barred my soul.

“4. I didn’t leave the WWE for any reason other that I wanted to. I left the second time because I didn’t want to be on the road anymore and to be at home with my family more. I left the third time because I’m not very ‘creative’.

“5. I have a very full life now and am not destitute or a broken down wrestler who’s bitter about the past.

“6. The WWE is well aware of my discontent with some of their former programming.

“7. Yes Jim, you disciplined your body and I’m fat. But then, I can work (in the ring) and you can’t.

“8. You NEVER led me in a match at any time and you know it.

“9. My problem with Jim is his arrogance. He’s got to have his own room to sign autographs in, won’t stay at the same hotel with the rest of the boys, demands to have people taking care of his every need at all his appearances, things like that.

“10. I’ve openly admitted my mistakes and shortcomings to the world, but I guess you still haven’t made any! I guess all of the highly successful guys on the DVD were wrong, and you are right?”
