Loss Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ted DiBiase is about to go shopping, in a limo with a license plate that has dollar signs on it. Pimp! A limo driver that looks like David Axelrod takes him about town while his entrance music plays. There is a WE ACCEPT TED sign on the door at his jeweler's store, which cracks me up.

shoe Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just a fun skit. Things like this are major reasons why The Million Dollar Man character is remembered fondly by fans even today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yet another great on-location vignette from DiBiase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 DiBiase goes shopping. Noticed Sherri was with him in one of the brief video clips. Thought that partnership was later in year. Nice touch with the “We Accept Ted” sign on the door. Ted can’t decide what jewelry to buy so he buys it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Really memorable stuff from Ted here and his treatment of the limo driver was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garretta Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I thought this was over the top by a fair bit. Yes, the whole character was designed to be that way, but it actually works better when it's toned down slightly. The original vignettes put over the same point (Teddy's a entitled rich man who uses his wealth and flaunts it in front of others just to be a prick) without obvious embellishments such as the vanity license plate and the "We Accept Ted" sign on the jeweler's door. Plus, the laugh's effective in small doses, but when he does it as often as he does here, it's just off-putting. In an earlier thread, I mentioned that they needed to give Savage a possible post-Mania feud should he have beaten Warrior. Crazy as it sounds, I think Teddy could have been it. Have him try to buy Sherri with the jewelry we saw in the skit, which Sherri accepts. Randy demands to know who's trying to tempt his queen, and we have a confrontation that leads to a Sherri turn. Liz comes back to counteract Sherri in Teddy's corner, and we're off and running. I think they might have been leaning that way before they turned Jake, because Randy wasn't happy at all when Sherri hooked up with Teddy after Mania, although she'd already turned on him by then. I'm not sure if this feud would have been the classic that the Jake feud was, but it wouldn't have been a bad substitute if they'd wanted Jake to stay a face, or if Warrior had stuck around to keep him busy after the turn.

dawho5 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I never got into Ted when I saw anything WWF as a kid. But the guy really does everything well. He has his character down to a T and all of these segments with him are well-executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
