On returning to WWE for RAW 25:

TD: It was great. It was great to see everyone again. I have a lot of fun with JBL. He’s a great guy, smart guy, he really knows his stuff. I told him, “You know JBL, often imitated but never duplicated. You were just a cowboy version of me!” (Laughs)

On if JBL concedes that he took his character from Ted:

TD: He told me, “Look man, I stole your character!” Of course that’s what he’s gonna say. He said, “I stole your character and I DID IT BETTER!” I think a couple of years ago at WrestleMania it was him, me and Alberto Del Rio. We all took a picture together and I tagged it, “three generations of the same gimmick.”

Some other topics that DiBiase discusses include:

  • The documentary about him “The Price of Fame”
  • How it feels for it to be made
  • What he didn’t expect his friends to say about him
  • How hard it is to watch his wife open up about his infidelity
  • Vince’s vision and creation of The Million Dollar Man
  • What “parameters” Vince put on him when he was out on the town spending money
  • His partnership with Virgil
  • Whether the juxtaposition of the two characters ever bothered him
  • THE REAL story behind the night he kicked the basketball out of that little boys hand
  • Returning to WWE for RAW 25
  • JBL “stealing his gimmick”
  • Who his favorite current Superstar is
  • Would he ever crown another Million Dollar Champion?
  • More
