When reflecting on his relationship with JJ Dillon, DiBiase Sr. reminisced, “I remember him when he first entered the territory. Basically, he was introduced as a villain. He and Dick Murdoch had an exceptional partnership. Even today, I have immense love and respect for him. He was good. JD was genuinely competent.”
Regarding the intense travel regimen as a professional wrestler, he expressed, “Well, having been brought up in this world, I always perceived it as a part of the game. You have to be fully committed, or else you’re out. You know what I mean? If you’re someone who cannot withstand long car rides, then wrestling is not for you. That’s a fact. [laughs]”
