Is Ted DiBiase's Mid-South run actually superior to his "Million Dollar Man" character in terms of pure in-ring psychology?
Don't get me wrong, the Million Dollar Man is an iconic character that defined WWF’s golden era. But when you look at DiBiase’s work under Bill Watts in Mid-South—especially his feud with Junkyard Dog and his time in the Rat Pack with Jim Duggan and Matt Borne—his heel psychology was masterclass. He wasn’t just a cartoon villain throwing money around; he was a desperate, vicious worker who knew exactly how to make the fans want to see him get his teeth kicked in.His pacing, his bumps, and the way he cut off babyface comebacks were incredible. Do you think the WWF character, while more famous, ultimately limited how great he could be in the ring?
