JN News Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Ted Dibiase was forced into retirement on his 40th birthday due to suffering a very serious spinal injury. But, what really happened on that day? What was it that caused Ted's career-ending injury in 1994?
Guest East.Coast.J Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 I could be mistaken, but I don't think that Ted Dibiase was still wrestling on January 18th of 1994, which would have been his 40th birthday. He had a herniated disc in his back that was pretty much the result of years of abuse in the ring, and then he got a stinger of sorts working against The Big Bossman in Japan in late 1993 and went to the doctor and found out he had a double herniated disc. I think it was this point that he just said the hell with it and stopped wrestling and started collecting on his Lloyd's of London policy.
Slayer Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 The last match I ever remember Dibiase in was against Razor Ramon at Summerslam '93.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 It was a herniated disc in his neck, and it happened in, I think, the October 1993 tour.
Kahran Ramsus Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 That was what I seem to recall as well. I always noticed how in his days as manager the other wrestlers were very protective of him and he never took any serious bumps.
JangoFett4Hire Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Is the Million Dollar Man still with us?
Hawk 34 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I should mention that Dibiase's boys have been training with Harley Race and Ace Steel and are apparently pretty good. I'm surprised that Dibiase would encourage his sons to wrestle, considering the nature of the business. By 2009, we're going to have alot of 2nd and 3rd generation wrestlers running around.
foleyfanforever88 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Is the Million Dollar Man still with us? He was on RAW a few months ago with the likes of Eugene, Goldust, and Snitsky backstage.
swan Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Is the Million Dollar Man still with us? But of course. It was his step dad, Mike DiBiase that died young, in a wrestling ring of all places. He works alot of christian type events
The Buzz Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Isn't he an agent now with the WWE?
JN News Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Isn't he an agent now with the WWE? Yeah, he's a road agent.
Hawk 34 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Isn't he an agent now with the WWE? Yeah, he's a road agent. Producer.
Black Lushus Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 wasn't he breaking down prior to this anyway? Isn't that why they put him in Money, Inc.? Limit his ring time? Or did theyjust not have anything better to do with him?
Guest Cannonball K Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 The last match I ever remember Dibiase in was against Razor Ramon at Summerslam '93. from WIA - this was a great Mitsu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi 13 Stan Hansen and Giant Baba *** 12 Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue 11 Steve Williams and Big Bubba 8 Danny Spivey and Johnny Ace 4 Dan Kroffat and Doug Furnas 4 Patriot and Eagle 4 Tracey Smothers and Richard Slinger 0 By winning the tournament, Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi won the World Tag Team Title that had been vacated by Stan Hansen and Ted DiBiase. Ted DiBiase was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injury after only one match. Giant Baba replaced him as Hansen's partner.
Prime Time Andrew Doyle Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Is the Million Dollar Man still with us? He was on RAW a few months ago with the likes of Eugene, Goldust, and Snitsky backstage. I thought that was at WM when Goldust was trying to help Booker overcome his fear of freaks.
ChrisMWaters Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 yeah, it was WM They did one a few weeks or months later as well on Unlimited. Goldust and Snitsky were talking about something, both walk off. In the background is a man reading the Wall Street Journal. He lowers the paper, revealing DiBiase, then that cues the DiBiase laugh.
