In a recent episode of his podcast “Everybody’s Got A Pod,” WWE Hall of Famer, Ted DiBiase Sr., took time to reflect on his journey in the WWF, specifically focusing on the significance of his North American Title win and the experiences of travelling with the belt. The podcast provides fascinating insights from one of the industry’s most respected figures.
In one of the notable moments of the podcast, DiBiase discusses the importance of his North American Title win: “The promotion doesn’t entrust a championship belt to someone unless they’re confident in that person’s ability to carry it… I’m not boasting about myself, but if you’re the titleholder, you’re essentially the number one in the territory.”
DiBiase further elaborates on some of the challenges he encountered while travelling with a title. Remembering a time when he held multiple titles, he humorously recounts, “There was a belt I had, and then we won the Tag Team Titles or something. Suddenly I found myself as a World Tag Team Title holder, and I can’t remember the exact details. But I clearly remember thinking, ‘If you think I’m going to carry both of these things all over the country, you’re very mistaken.’”
