ESPN’s Jon “Jonny Ballgame” Robinson interviewed WWE’s Ted DiBiase and some of the conversation drifted towards gaming. Some of you might be familiar with his father, the legendary “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase. During the interview, the younger Ted spoke about the Nintendo binges he enjoyed when his father came back from the road. He said:
“My dad would come home and we’d pick him up at the airport and head straight to Toys R Us and he’d buy me like five or six Nintendo games at a time. So I had just stacks of Nintendo games everywhere … that’s all I used to do. I’d play my dad … it’s cool to remember those times.”
DiBiase also spoke about his dream match in the upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2010:
“I want to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania and break his streak. That would be my ultimate storyline.”
Although DiBiase isn’t a gamer these days, it’s cool to see that his father’s “wealth” went to gaming, back in the day.
Ted DiBiase Jr., son of wrestling legend Ted “The Million Dollar Man” DiBiase, has followed in his father’s footsteps in ring, but he’s now about to break out of his dad’s shadow by making his film debut in The Marine 2. At the time of the interview, he had only been wrestling for a year. Seven months into it, the WWE came to him with The Marine 2.
Listen to this interview with Ted as he talks about his acting debut, the differences between wrestling and acting (not much!), doing his own stunts.

This announcement came just one night after Rhodes & DiBiase picked up the biggest win of their young careers by doing what nobody has ever done before: Make DX submit. In a brutal match at WWE Breaking Point, the two members of The Legacy applied duel submission maneuvers on HBK, making him tap out in an unprecedented Submissions Count Anywhere Match.
For months, Rhodes & DiBiase have tormented The Game at all turns, and it seemed with DX’s reunion and win at SummerSlam, that combination of Michaels and Triple H might be just what the doctor ordered to get rid of The Legacy plague.
That has turned out to not be the case as both Rhodes & DiBiase have proven that they are not to be underestimated and that they are both capable of standing toe-to-toe with the legendary pairing.
Now, with the steel set to surround the four ring warriors, all-out war will be waged in the Hell in a Cell – and only one pair can walk out victorious.
What team will reign supreme? Find out as the first-ever WWE Hell in a Cell event airs Sunday, Oct. 4, live on pay-per-view.
Ted picked up that what they did last night was historic. He said they may have shocked the world, what they accomplished did not surprise them one bit. Ted said they were who they said they were. And they didn’t let them off the hook! Camera focused on a big dry blood spot on DiBiase’s ear. That’s going to be cauliflowered. Cody then said they will no longer be known as the sons of DiBiase and Rhodes. They are their own legacy now. Cue up their music. Backstage, they cut to Shawn and Hunter watching the promo on a monitor. Michaels wiped his mouth in frustration. Hunter was serious too. They started walking down the hallway with Michaels leading the way for the singles match up next. WWE doing a nice job getting as much mileage as possible out of the victory thus far. Cody and Ted stood firm in the ring, then DX’s music hit. Shawn and Hunter sternly walked to the ring. No shenanigans. No funny business. Ready for a fight.
