[1991-01-05-WWF-Superstars] Ted DiBiase & Virgil vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

DiBiase is in his Million Dollar Man gear while wearing a cowboy hat, which really makes him look like a total caricature. He gets his boot dirty and forces Virgil to clean it up. Ted is great here.

Ted is great as usual in this setting. His cackle is so great.

Not a bad vignette but this sort of feels like a rehash of the Bossman feud with Ted on location.

They do love doing on-location vignettes with DiBiase. I was secretly, vainly hoping for DiBiase to do a Ric Flair elbowdrop onto the cowboy hat, which would have made this the Segment of the Year.

DiBiase continues his feud against Texas. Ted stomps his hat in anger but gets his boots on dirty. Virgil is there to clean them off though. DiBiase is indeed great in this type of segment.

Maybe it's because Teddy's the best vignette actor in the company, but even though I know that his treatment of Virgil here is disgusting and racist in the extreme, it doesn't sicken me the way the Slaughter bullshit does. I want to see him get his butt kicked by Dusty and Dustin (and Virgil), while I just want to turn off Sarge and Adnan and wipe them out of my memory bank for good. I know one thing: Teddy's a lot easier to watch being lowdown and contemptible than Sarge is, and it has nothing to do with their material. Maybe if Sarge didn't bellow every last word of his promos at the top of his lungs, I could at least sit through his stuff a little more easily.

 

I noticed the cowboy hat, but one thing was missing from Teddy's ensemble: the Million Dollar Belt. Did he forget it at home, or did someone figure out that a gold and diamond-studded belt may just get dirty, even by accident, in a barnyard?

Virgil's face throughout this thing was great. Almost as great as Ted was.
