DiBiase has an issue with the art of selling.

Whilst WWE and AEW are setting records left, right and centre, one particular WWE Hall of Famer isn’t a fan of one element of modern wrestling. According to Ted DiBiase on his podcast, there is a distinct lack of selling on display in the modern product:

"It's so hard for me to watch today's product because I watch them and it's like, okay, I might as well be watching a tumbling match because all I see is them doing high spots. I used to take a bump, we call it an a*s bump where the guy picks you up and it looks like he's dropping your rear end right on his leg. I would take that and then I would bounce off of that and I knew how to hit the rope at just the right part of my body to where my legs would fly up and I would go over the top rope to the floor.”

“Now today, you do that, they bounce up like nothing happened. I would lay there and sell it. All you young wrestlers out there, learn how to sell. In other words, there's got to be a reason for a babyface to make a comeback, and unless he sells, I mean, your comeback is only going to be as good as your sell-job."
