Backstage, They randomly cut to Ted DiBiase standing at his locker. Cody Rhodes then walked in asked if he’s feeling good about himself after qualifying for the Elimination Chamber. Rhodes said he got Cena while DiBiase got Henry. Cody said he beat Henry once before and he could have done it again. DiBiase told Cody to stop complaining. Cody asked DiBiase if he really could have beaten Cena. DiBiase said this is an example of him being better than Cody. Randy Orton then walked in and asked DiBiase if he thinks he’s better than him. “Well, are you?” Orton asked. DiBiase said they’ll find out at the Chamber. Orton then told DiBiase he’s facing Cena tonight. Orton asked Cody what he’s so happy about when he got him DQ’ed at the Rumble. Orton said he knows Cody was trying to help and his heart was in the right place, so he appreciates the effort. Orton being very calculating and cerebral here. “By the way, Cody, you’re facing me tonight,” Orton said. Nice segment.
In-ring: Ted DiBiase came out to the ring for the TV main event against John Cena. Cena’s music then hit and they did the shaky camera effect for Cena’s reaction. Cena had a stern look on his face, then he stormed the ring and went right after DiBiase. Cena smashed DiBiase to the floor, then chucked his shirt and hat into the crowd. No official start here. Cena then put DiBiase in the STF on the floor and DiBiase tapped out repeatedly. The announcers sold Cena losing it after having pent-up anger for a week.

Although Ted qualified for the WWE Championship Match at Elimination Chamber on Raw, The Legacy has never looked shakier.
Candids: Ted at the Celtics vs. Hawks Basketball game
Last Friday, Ted (along with tag team partner Cody Rhodes) attended the Boston Celtics/Atlanta Hawks basketball game in Atlanta, GA. Ted read the team intro’s and even roughed up a mascot haha. Well I’ve come across some high quality shots from the game and added them into the gallery. So be sure to check out all 17 awesome shots. Photo credit: Moses
To most, Mickey Rourke’s portrayal of a washed-up, steroid-using former superstar in the 2008 film “The Wrestler” is far from everyday life. However, for wrestling legends like Ted Dibiase, a.k.a. “The Million Dollar Man,” similar tragic stories seemed to come with the territory for a laundry list of his fellow World Wrestling Entertainment stars in the 1980s and 1990s.
“When I watched that movie, I found it was a really well-told story of what can — and has — happened to a number of guys in our industry,” Dibiase said. “Guys who sell out to the roar of the crowd; that’s what they live for. They are going to take steroids, take pills — whatever they have to do to keep walking through that curtain. The crowd, that’s the drug. It gets that way for some guys.”
DiBiase, 56, shot to stardom in 1987 with his Million Dollar Man character. His feud involving Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan was a pivotal story that helped boost the business into mainstream culture during the ‘80s wrestling boom.
With success, DiBiase said, came a self-destructive lifestyle.
“Back then it was a rock-n-roll atmosphere,” he recalled of his start in the WWE. “We were on the road for weeks at a time: the next town, the next show, the next party. After a big show, the hotel lobby would be filled with fans and the bar would be full of girls.” This chaotic cycle nudged DiBiase to retire from the ring back in 1993, after it began to affect his marriage. He has since become a full-time minister.
DiBiase said the WWE environment has improved drastically over the years. “Today, the business has changed, it’s much more corporate,” he said. “When you go back to the hotel, there is nobody. I don’t know if it’s a well-kept secret, or what. The WWE has changed so much now. They work four days a week, then they go home to their families.” Today, his son Ted Dibiase Jr., 27, who is a part of a WWE tag team known as The Legacy, is following in his father’s footsteps. DiBiase Jr. debuted in the WWE in May 2008 and has since become a main player on “Raw,” a weekly WWE program. DiBiase Jr. also landed the lead role in the WWE film “The Marine 2,” which was released to DVD in December. His sons, Mike DiBiase and Brett DiBiase, are also up-and-coming wrestlers.
Backstage: Ted DiBiase stopped Randy Orton and congratulated him on the win before apologizing for what happened last night. He said he can’t speak for Cody, but he’s sorry. Orton then got in his face and simply glared at him without saying a word. Orton as the silent assassin is great. Orton walked off, then DiBiase made a pouty face to sell his confusion.
Mark Henry vs. Ted DiBiase — Elimination Chamber qualifying match
Henry dominated early on including shoulder blocks and a shove to the floor. DiBiase regrouped on the floor before yanking Henry’s left arm into the ringpost. DiBiase then dropped Henry into the ring steps with a drop toe hold. He slid back into the ring at seven before going to work on Henry’s left arm back in the ring. DiBiase then tried a top rope move, but Henry caught him in mid-air, only to have DiBiase slip out and yank Henry’s arm across the top rope. DiBiase followed with a single arm DDT on the arm that put Henry on the mat. DiBiase then made the cover and Henry couldn’t use his arm to kick out, giving DiBiase the win.
Winner: DiBiase at 3:06 to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match. Not the most aesthetically-pleasing match, but a solid match from a “this is presented as a shoot match” perspective with DiBiase taking apart a body part that helped him win the match. Good to see DiBiase, a non-Usual Suspect, in the Chamber match.
In honor of the Big Game Sunday, February 7th, WWE.com has put on its collective coaching whistle and created the first-ever “All-WWE Team”, a dream sandlot American-style football team chosen from the current RAW, Smackdown and ECW rosters.
Tight End – Ted DiBiase
Another all purpose position, the tight end must have the speed and size to seal off the run blocking ont he end of the offensive line, as well as run the occasional passing routes. The “All-WWE Team” chooses Legacy’s Ted DiBiase, who is a great hybrid athlete with priceless genetic talent.
Locker room: Randy Orton was focused and staring into space. Cody Rhodes then walked in and said they’ve done too much and gone too far for the group to slip away. Cody said they know Orton can beat Sheamus and win back the title. He said he’ll be there for him. Cody then looked away and said he wishes he could say the same for Ted DiBiase. Cody said Ted hasn’t been the same since his movie came out and all he talks about is winning the Rumble match and going on to Mania to beat Orton for the WWE Title. Cody told Orton he can count on him. He slapped Orton on the back and walked off to leave Orton with his thoughts.
Backstage, Randy Orton was walking down the hallway, then Ted DiBiase walked up to him and said he has his back. DiBiase said he can’t even talk to Cody right now. He said Cody’s been talking about winning the Rumble and facing Sheamus at Mania, even counting Orton out. Orton had enough of their games and said he’s going to win against Sheamus and he doesn’t want their help.
THE LEGACY: CODY RHODES & TED DiBIASE This Week: 13 Last Week: 12
Tensions are running high between these two headed into the Rumble, and it’s understandable considering either could be “The One” after Sunday.
DX (SHAWN MICHAELS & TRIPLE H) vs. LEGACY (CODY RHODES & TED DIBIASE)
Cole plugged DX vs. Punk and Gallows for the tag titles on Smackdown this week. DX and Legacy traded control, then Cole suddenly snapped to attention shouting there’s breaking news on the guest hosts on the other side of the break. They returned from break with Michaels looking for a hot tag and receiving it. He teed off on Cody Rhodes as Lawler asked Cole about the breaking news, which is that James Roday is not here and they “don’t know exactly why.” Back to the action where Michaels dropped Cody in the corner and teased a top rope elbow, but DiBiase ran interference. Michaels simply adjusted his flight plan and splashed both men on the outside in front of the guardrail. Michaels was slow to re-enter the ring, which allowed Cody to snap off a neckbreaker to cut off Michaels’s offensive advantage.
Ted DiBiase, Jr. sat down with Mouth on Sunday’s edition of Live Audio Wrestling. In the interview Ted talked about ‘The Marine 2′, working in Pro Wrestling NOAH, Teddy Hart, how Legacy came to be and the war with TNA. It’s definitely worth a listen so be sure to check it out. You’ll want to skip to about the 26 minute mark to hear Ted’s interview.
