During a recent episode of the podcast “Everybody’s Got a Pod” presided by WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr, he shared insights about his tenure at WCW, his understanding of Eric Bischoff, and more.
Here’s an overview of some of the key points from the podcast episode.
1. Ted DiBiase’s thoughts on Eric Bischoff: DiBiase mentioned this about Bischoff, “Upon my arrival at WCW, I first met Eric Bischoff. It struck me as odd that the person in control had little to no understanding of wrestling. Bischoff in my opinion seemed clueless about the wrestling business. It made me wonder where he was directing his influence from – most likely from the wrestlers themselves.”
2. DiBiase’s experience at WCW: DiBiase shared, “I was quite thankful for the three-year contract I received. To me, it was a pretty good deal. I made it my intent to show up, follow instructions and once my contract expired in three years, I would make my exit.”
3. DiBiase’s reflection on the end of his WCW period: He described, “It came to feel as if the patients were running the mental hospital, which further pushed me to feel detached. Had I been physically wrestling at that time, I would have had more input and a bigger say in it. I was oblivious of the backstory and didn’t understand the direction in which they were heading.”
