Ted DiBiase Sr. | WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase recently discussed several topics on his podcast, โ€œEverybodyโ€™s Got a Pod.โ€ One of the points he explored was a hypothetical scenario in which he could have had a brief run as the WWE Champion before his retirement. This would have culminated in a match against Bret Hart at WrestleMania X.

DiBiase said, โ€œThe thing about it was โ€” injury-wise, itโ€™s like, are you willing to take the risk again? And the other thing too was, the insurance policy that I had was Lloydโ€™s of London, and thatโ€™s hard to get. And Iโ€™ll be honest with you โ€” once I committed to that, I couldnโ€™t come back. Because Lloydโ€™s of London would have asked for all their money back. So no, I couldnโ€™t have. You know, if I was capable and could and not break any of the rules, Iโ€™d be happy to come back and put Bret over.โ€

On his Mount Rushmore of the greatest heels in wrestling history, not including himself:

โ€œThatโ€™s toughโ€ฆ Ric would be there. But thereโ€™s a guy that when I first started, this guy was towards the end of his run as a wrestler. And he worked for Bill Watts in Mid-South, his name was Killer Karl Kox. He, in my opinion, was one of the best heels. And I tell you another one, Dick Murdoch. Dick Murdoch was so talented. He could go out in that ring and heโ€™d be telling jokes in the ringโ€ฆ And hey, Terry Funk. Whether heโ€™s a heel or babyface, one of the GOATs for sure.โ€
