"Mr DiBiase what a terrific honor to meet you."

"Well of course it is!!!!" Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[fivebearrugs]

"Nice Rolex. I have one for every day of the week." Awesome.

He went from wrestling in Houma, Louisiana in front of 600 people to having the gimmick of a lifetime in about 4 months. Amazing.

Just met the million dollar man at church today! He has an awesome testimony!

Most underrated heel of all time. DiBiase was great on the mic, and strong as an ox so he could pull off all the power moves.

The 80's had the greatest heels and babyfaces. We loved them all as kids during the 80's. Watching the Saturday Night Main Event with my Dad and then watching squash matches with recaps on Sunday mornings was one of the highlights of my childhood. Anyone else remember WWF Superstars of Wrestling with the incessant Fruit Stripes gum and WWF toy commercials? Lord Alfred Hayes hosted and recapped the week's main events. My Dad would always say he remembered Lord Alfred and how ornery he was in the ring and how funny it was watching my German mom start yelling at the television at his antics and for being British.

We met The Million Dollar Man this weekend. He was so kind to my boys. My son drew him a picture and he laughed and said I never looked better—great guy, fantastic athlete.

[caioc]

i think that if the million dollar man was a current wrestler he would be loved

[bludika]

nobody could have pulled off this role except Ted DiBiase, he just had the aura and confidence to portray it

[Jr-El]

I love his gimmick. It was so well done. So entertaining.

[RichardSturtevant]

The guy at the jewerly store is still there today.

[TorontoGuy]

I remember following this story back when I was a kid. Brilliant!

[brandonwilliams]

RIP Virgil you will be forever a legend and missed dearly.

[epp]

Greatest Heel of all time, one of the greatest characters of all time.

[edinscot]

You cut off the best line at the end, "You can do it...and I can afford it. Hahahahaha!"

[positivelastaction]

I love how all the sales associates instantly "recognized" the Million Dollar Man.

[iskuly]

It's an honour to meet you
Of course it is HaHaHa Ted Dibiase voice

[thestarseeker]

These old promos were so tongue-in-cheek and that’s what makes them so legendary

[HansKuhlmann]

The MDM was a chreat character with acting skills and a great voice. That's what's missing in modern day wrestling-

[lilpoohbear]

He has been a preacher for years...what a life change...happy for him!
