Ted DiBiase on his Diet and Workout Regimen on the Road 

I remember going to see the WWF house shows at the CYC in Scranton. We never had enough money for tickets, so my brother and I would hangout in the back alley and the wrestlers would come out back occasionally during the show to get some fresh air or what not. I remember Dibiase coming out and he was so much bigger and more intimidating than he looked on tv. Granted I was only about 11 years old, but still. He seemed really nice though, while still staying in character. He was outside about 10 seconds, looked at the crowd and says “it’s hot as shit in there!” And everyone laughed. He was out there a few more minutes and I worked up the courage to tell him was among my top 3 favorites (I always liked the heels as a kid) I expected him to be a dick because this was still the kayfabe days, but he goes “thanks. Smart kid here!”. I had old pics from back then but long gone unfortunately. Good times haha

DiBiase was a such a great heel. His million dollar man gimmick was cool.

I mean this with the utmost respect. During his pro wrestling career, Ted DiBiase looked like he never set foot in a gym. He was a very well-conditioned athlete, who could work hour-long matches. His stamina at Royal Rumble 1990 was impressive at 44:47.

This man was the epitome of 80s cool

Very nice stuff.

back then their options were limited not as many places to eat as there is today no gnc or other health stores and barely any public gyms

I read in Ted's autobiography he would eat bologna sandwiches.

3:00 started going to the gym ? what did he do vacuum the place? bog up the toilets? talk to people while theyre trying to work out , ive been working out for decade's, yeh trying to work out how i got so big and strong, im in shape yep round shape

I remember Gorilla Monsoon complementing DiBiase's moves even though he played the heel. DiBiase main evented Wrestle Mania 4 along side Macho Man because they were the best in the ring and the best on the mike.

maybe someone can answer this... but is a hamburger steak what i imagine it is? just ground beef patty without a bun?

1:20 beer????? thats lite weight drinking 😂

And it's hard for me to eat I'll get sick also but breakfast was my favorite to eggs sausage hash browns toast steak and that's the most important meal of the day.

I think Ted was natural , and was still a 230 pound man if not bigger if he had went on steroids he could've been 280 or a 300 pound man but could he work

Breakfast and hamburger steak is proof Ted's a fellow Nebraskan.

I love ya Ted, you are one of my favorites, please try and lay off the "you know" a little

If you took a shot every time he says “you know”, you’d be plastered by the end of the interview. It’s so distracting.

Me and Ted share a love of Mexican food I could eat it everyday too lol

You get to see a wrestler who could h it the fast powerslam and the falling fist and the good old figure four. Bulky bro would be hard pressed,MTM big and flexibility,real top guy

You know you know you know

Do NOT put CM Punk in the same category as Ted or Jake. They were wrestlers that were well over 6ft 250 when most men weren't even 6ft and looked like they were legit badasses. CM Punk looks like a glorified ballet dancer at 180lbs.

For a guy who admitted not to eat very well on the road especially in the mid south days ,he had a pretty good physique. He was by no means a body guy in other words he was not all rocked up. He probably ate one meal a day maybe and his gym work was actually in the ring The ring work that he would do match after match, that's how he got his gym work in so to speak.

Ted had a diet and workout routine? 😂😂😂

It's refreshing to see "regimen" used properly instead of more popular and often misused "regime" when talking about workouts.

Ted worked out?

So basically he didn't eat after 3pm, but otherwise he ate whatever he felt like eating.

His workout regimen? The guy looked like he had never touched a weight in his life!!

Ted Dibiase six five, two hundred and sixty pounds. How about that? Funny thing, Teds favorite match was with Hogan from SNME. Lovely stuff. Doink beat Bret at a house show. Austin blames Mero for his split lip, yes sir. Yes he does. Sherri and Liz were supposed to have a program, but Vince nixed it. Aurelian Smith Jr caught a jobber dancing around to his theme and went straight to Vince, citing disrespect on the jobbers part. After the fact, that jobber had to explain and apologise to Smith Jr. Bray beat Rollins on a house show. Bubba was supposed to win the IC title at Mania7. Plans were nixed and then Nailz came along. Crush's heel turn WAS best for business, looking back.

Ted was natural , he was a big guy so he just built a little muscle on his frame so he was toned , he did what Tommy Rich shouldve done and if had he like Ted might have made it to the WWF.😅

he had no muscle just a normal chubby guy

Who cares....
