On a recent edition of his “Everybody’s Got A Pod” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr. discussed the benefits of traveling with experienced veterans and the demanding travel schedule in professional wrestling.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not knowing his first match with Dick Murdoch & Terry Funk vs. Jim Dillon & The Patriots was being recorded: “Yes, it was. Yeah, it was my first recording. I didn’t know that it was recorded.”
On JJ Dillon: “I remember him when he first came into the territory. You know, he came in as a heel. And he and Dick Murdoch had a hell of a run together. And you know, to this day, I love that guy. He was good. JD was good.”
On how he felt about the heavy travel schedule as a wrestler: “Well you know again, I guess because I grew up in it, I always just looked at it as, ‘This is part of the game. If you’re gonna be in the game, you got to be — you’re either all in, or you’re not in.’ You know? Because if you can’t stand to riding in a car, then don’t become a wrestler. [laughs]”
