Ted DiBiase Responds To Paul Roma's Comments About Him On ClubWWI.com's "Glorious"
Thanks to Georgiann Makropoulos for this. In Paul Roma's recent ClubWWI.com audio show, Glorious, he made some comments about DiBiase including these: "You mentioned (Ted) DiBiase and his son and all that. I guess probably like ten years ago, I had spoken to DiBiase, he was out of wrestling, and he became this reverend or whatever he became. So I called him up and we were talking and he goes, 'Yeah. Listen. I found a good place.' He says, 'I was a bad person when I was with Vince (McMahon). I'll never go back to that again. He's evil. Blah, blah, blah.' And then, the next thing I know, this guy is working for Vince again. Like, you know, so at the end of the day it doesn't matter - wait let me rephrase that. At the end of the day, for Ted DiBiase, he can preach all he wants. He can talk about God all he wants. Bu his God is spelled M-O-N-E-Y." The full show is up at ClubWWI.com and the complete list of subjects are available at the following link: http://www.worldwrestlinginsanity.com/am2/publish/newsnotes/Glorious3.shtml In response to this, Ted DiBiase - a former ClubWWI guest himself - sent off a letter to Georgiann on www.Wrestlingfigs.com. Here is what DiBiase had to say:
In response to Paul Roma,

I told many people about the wrong things I did, I even wrote a book about it. That's something everybody knows. I also have been very vocal about a lot of the WWE programming in the past. And, yes, when I went back to work for them, they were well aware of my objections to some of the programming. But what I realized as a Christian is this, if I'm genuinely going to make a diifference in the world and try to impact others with what I've found in Christ, then I can't do it sitting in church praying about it. I have to be visable in the market place. I went back to the WWE to show them the difference in who I am now and to try to make a difference. You can't pormote change standing on the sidelines. So I went back. The truth is, the WWE has changed incredibly since my wrestling days. The work schedule is not as demanding overall, and the compensation is much better. Also, a state of the art drug testing policy brings accountability into the business that wasn't there before. People getting into the WWE now, know that there is zero tollerence for steroid and drug abuse. If I hadn't seen the changes I would never have given my son my blessing to go into the business. The programming, by the way, is once again, totally PG rated.

The truth is, I'm still very much sold out to Jesus Christ. I don't think Vince McMahon is evil or the devil. I think he's a very shrewd business man. He's also the guy responsible for the unbelieveable fan base that professional wrestling enjoys today on a world wide scale.

Please tell Paul Roma that's he's got it wrong all the way around, including how much I'm paid for going back and making an appearance. And the Million Dollar Man, well, that would be my son in the not so distant future!!
