Ted DiBiase: brawler or technician

[Karl]

Everything about Ted was technical to me. He was a 'scientific' wrestler with the best of them, but even his brawling seemed technical....precise. Ted is one of my favourite all rounders of all time.

Not a fan of how Dibiase has been portrayed on televion since 2006 when he makes one off appearances. Why he is participating in the typical 'backstage freaks' segments I'll never know. Worth noting that he was glorious as the guest host of Raw back in 2009.

DiBiase is a weird one for me. I can watch his stuff now and see how a lot of what he did was the right thing at the right time, his work is very refined, nothing he does sucks. Really enjoy his Mid-South work. But as a kid, I always thought DiBiase's matches so boring, and in one of those old 88 Observers it's interesting how it's noted that the casual fan didn't buy DiBiase as a wrestler at that time, as if he really wasn't very charismatic in the ring.

i would mainly blame the fact that the WWF had him try to buy the world title before actually wrestling a main-event program. great way to make a "top" guy look weak right off the bat!
