Ted DiBiase on The Main Event from February 1988 

That was awesome!! Ted said he is very grateful to be in that spot at that time, well i can tell you Ted, the fans are grateful that we got to watch you perform at that time. You were so entertaining!! Thank you.🙏

Seen this episode live on TV 35 years ago, 2 referees!

I always wanted to pick Dibiases brain. I'm glad this podcast is here

Its great to see Ted with his own podcast!! He was excellent on the mic, he was a model heel! Gimmick was top notch an I consider him one of the best technical wrestlers of all time!! I was able to emmulate his imfamous sell neck roll where his whole body would flip over selling a move!! Any match he wrestled i felt he could always win even if it was against a popular babyface, the crowd booed him an he kept doing all kinds of crazy stuff to people for a hundred dollar bill!! Then he took it up a notch and would botch a contest and not let the person win!! The imfamous ball kick!! As a kid it was like whoa watching him do that!!' We would be in school talking about what Million dollar man did last Saturday!! Thank you Ted!! Thank you for being a great villian who put a lot of wrestlers over!!

Awesome

Saturday Night Main Event and 80’s Wrestlers were my Babysitters most weekends when my parents were in the bars. 😅

That was the first ever live show of the WWF on NBC live television. That is interesting to hear.

been listening to this one and learning a ton so i'm glad it was made

What an unexpected swerve that was!? I was so pissed(as a 12 year old)! Lol Nobody expected Hulk to lose the tile at that time & in that fashion too. That’s the power of Kayfabe. That was epic! Im glad I got to live through it.

This alone proves Steve Austin was never close to being as big as Hulk Hogan.

tyvm for the podcast

Where are the full episodes ? All I'm finding are 15 min bits.

He could have became The NWA heavyweight champion if he wouldnt have left, Crockett promotions probably would have had a rivalry between him and Flair

There's Video of Ted as WWF Champion ... I Believe from a Card that Aired NESN (New England Sports Network) a Day to a Few Days After The Main Event Broadcast

I remember this like yesterday. My 12th birthday. What a great present to watch Hogan lose. Lol

Greatest swerve ever

wish the full shows would get posted here but i get it

Can we please get the full podcast on youtube

I still think Ted was the WWF Champion for a week before he was stripped of the belt.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 🍿

I wasn't a fan of how they removed the belt from Hogan, it was too cheesy even for the WWF but it was a pretty amazing event.

I remember that Main Event the storyline with the Double Referee wasn't so good it was corny all they had to do was have Ted DiBiase hand the Ref a envelope after the match making everyone think 🤔 did Ted pay off the Ref.

Good ole senile Teddy mixes up The Maint Event and SNME. Oh well he‘s been out of it for many years.

Fun Fact: The Million Dollar Man gimmick would make its debut in June 1987 after then face Ted DiBiase turned on his tag team partner of the day ... Sam "Jake's real life half-brother" Houston. Ted had actually been back in the WWF since May 15 working as a face in house shows before the heel turn on June 26. Its a measure of his work that it was just 7 months later "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase was largely acknowledged as the biggest heel in the company with him "buying" the WWF Championship at The Main Event.

Are there gonna be any "traditional" episodes for this PODCAST? Or just clips?

Ted should've been the Champion and of course he cheated , but then have him hold it for a while wrestling everybody not the top guys and of course dodging Hulk until W.M and then Hogan wins his belt back , and have Andre The Giant helps his old friend Hulk over come Teds body guard and his crew and Hulk & Andre leaves to cheering crowd

Dibiase claims that he and Savage had never touched before WM 4. That is incorrect. They wrestled on Saturday Nights Main Event on 3/12/88, were Savage lost by count-out due to Andre's interference.

I remember watching the outcome of that match and thinking 'This sucks! They just cheated Hogan out of the Title!'

All pro wrestling championships are acquired by kayfabe, thus I recognize Ted DiBiase as a 100% legitimate WWF World Champion and I daresay that the way in which he acquired it is the best in history.

Hi Ted it wasn't the Saturday nights main event thst was the predecessor the program your references was a Friday night program that's why the name was changed to the Main Event

The millionaire dollar bed in the background

I see Andre is back on the box again in the thumb nail, no way he's that much taller than 6 foot 5 hogan

Redicules storyline🤡

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase saw everything... he was a part of all of the biggest storylines in the history of westling. WWF was great in the Golden Era. Great podcast i respect him. Today i still watch WWF and i dont watch WWE anymore.

They should have put belt on ted,in the years of so many title changes guys like ted rude perfect would have been multiple times champion

Theres so many wrestling podcasts. Million dollar man. Cornette. Eric bishoff. Kliq this kevin nash. Jake the 🐍 snake ric flair. Griiling jr Bruce prichard. ( not complaining). But its hard to watch them all. ⏰ 🤣

That match killed me as a kid. The hatred I had for Andre, Ted DiBiase and the Hebner brothers for years afterwards, jeez. Lol.
