Warrior Hits Out at DiBiase

[nightrain]

ULTIMATE WARRIOR has stepped up his feud with Ted DiBiase, by slamming The Million Dollar Man's career, lifestyle and religion.

Warrior was outraged after his fellow WWE legend claimed he didn't belong in the company's Hall Of Fame, saying his push exceeded his talent.

Now the former world champion has hit back, posting a 4,783 word rant on his website UltimateWarrior.com.

Warrior blasted: "What it all really boils down to is jealousy. Envy. I did better in the business than you, walked away from it on my own terms, with my integrity intact, and I've done better in my life away from it.

"You say the only time I had a great match was when someone was leading me around by the nose.

"Once and for all, let's stop the BS and put things in no uncertain terms - without guys like me, Ted Dibiase, you never would have worked a main event match.

"You were so smart about the business, Teddy, you were too stupid to figure out how it really works.

"Guys like you funded petty cash. Guys like me - and Hogan and Savage at the time - paid the mortgages and the travel bills and the production costs of the whole operation.

"Your profit making contribution was like hitting three cherries on a nickel slot machine. Mine was like hitting the Powerball Jackpot.

"I earned my limousine. Yours was provided as part of your silly gimmick.

"Reality check: My quarterly royalty checks were for more money than you made in a whole year.

"It was never about who could draw money with a guy like you - it was always about who could draw money with a guy like me. Guys like you were one-of-many. Guys like me were one-of-a-kind."

Both men are devoted Christians, with DiBiase turning his life around and becoming a Minister after a lifestyle that included cheating on his wife.

Warrior is not convinced by the change however, labelling his foe as "Satan's Pig".

He added: "Let's be honest, here, Father Teddy.

"It was never guilt that made you change your ways to become a man of God. It was gluttony - and your dark desire to continue getting away with it.

"You've never had the discipline, in your whole life, to restrain your appetites for anything - and you still don't. All you've done is substitute vices and indulgences.

"When you were in the business and your ego was powered by your gimmick and your fame and celebrity, you were gluttonous for **** and salacious thoughts and living.

"When it was all over, the superficiality of celebrity was gone and you had nothing to cling to anymore to cover up your natural repulsiveness.

"Even the worst **** have standards.

"Once you were nothing, without the TV and the Million Dollar Man gimmick (which WWF footed the entire bill for), they wanted nothing to do with you anymore.

"You crawled home on your knees to your wife and God, all seemingly in the desire to be forgiven.

"But all you've truly done is use religion as an excuse and means to continue getting away with other forms of self-indulgent gluttony."

Urgh, does Warrior like anyone or anything?? He always seems to being off on someone....

Should come with the warning:  Long-winded rant ahead.  Feel free to read aloud in the voice of the Warrior.

The Dibiase interview Warrior is referring to was conducted on my show http://www.mondaynightmayhem.com

Cool Eric.......  I actually noticed that and really should have mentioned it when first posting.  My apologies.

Also, here is DiBiase's reply to Warrior -

TED DIBIASE has responded to Ultimate Warrior's internet rant about him, joking: "it made about as much sense as most of his promos did."

The Million Dollar Man upset his former colleague when he said he did not belong in the WWE's Hall Of Fame.

Yesterday The Sun told how Warrior posted a 4,783 word diatribe on his website in reply, in which he repeatedly laid into Ted's wrestling career and religious values - labelling him "Satan's Pig".

He said DiBiase had a "palpable hatred" towards him and was bitter because Warrior made more money and, supposedly, was a better worker.

He also accused Ted of being "a despicable hypocrite" for a former lifestyle that including cheating on his wife and for recently working for WWE, despite criticising some of the raunchier aspects of the product.

DiBiase, now a Christian Minister and devoted husband and father, has emailed his 10-point reply.

He writes: "1. I don't hate anybody. I don't hate Jim, I just don't have much respect for him.

"2. I never said that Vince asked my opinion about him being inducted into the HOF. I said IF I'd been asked, I would have said no.

"3. I don't need Jim to tell me about my lack of discipline, I wrote a whole book about it and barred my soul.

"4. I didn't leave the WWE for any reason other that I wanted to. I left the second time because I didn't want to be on the road anymore and to be at home with my family more. I left the third time because I'm not very 'creative'.

"5. I have a very full life now and am not destitute or a broken down wrestler who's bitter about the past.

"6. The WWE is well aware of my discontent with some of their former programming.

"7. Yes Jim, you disciplined your body and I'm fat. But then, I can work (in the ring) and you can't.

"8. You NEVER led me in a match at any time and you know it.

"9. My problem with Jim is his arrogance. He's got to have his own room to sign autographs in, won't stay at the same hotel with the rest of the boys, demands to have people taking care of his every need at all his appearances, things like that.

"10. I've openly admitted my mistakes and shortcomings to the world, but I guess you still haven't made any! I guess all of the highly successful guys on the DVD were wrong, and you are right?"

Agree 100 percent with Warrior

he may have been a **** wrestler, but he drew the **** money and in wrestling, thats really all that matters.

[scotta75]

I do not agree with anything Warrior say because he was a no talented hack who got a push because of his muscle and look plain and simple. Warrior cash in when Vince was all about the muscle, and could care less about the wrestling skill and it show when he was in the ring with people who had less talent than him.

I will admit when I was a kid, I got caught up on Warrior hype because I thought that what it took to be wrestler, some face paint, muscle and loud music! When I got into the business I realize there was more to it than muscle, and after watching the DVD on the Warrior I realize this dude was a no talent hack who profit on his look!

Beside there were more people beside Dibiase, who made comments on how bad the Warrior and how he was greedy for money and could not care about keeping the other dude safe in the ring. Jake Roberts in his DVD talk about how heartless the Warrior was and Bobby Heenan made mention about working the Warrior once with Andre and how they both dislike the Warrior.

In short it does not matter how much money you make in wrestling because it will all be gone sooner or later, what matters in wrestling is what the guys in the back, and the fans think about you is what makes a legend in wrestling! Guess what a lot of people do not remember the Warrior but a lot of people know who the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase is so what does that mean?

Scotta- Neither of them are The Rock but The Ultimate Warrior is far more known in wrestling circles and in mainstream media than Ted Dibiase. I take Warrior's side on this one.
