The Vicksburg Post has published an interview with former WWE star Ted DiBiase, Jr, and during the interview DiBiase revealed the following when asked why he left WWE in 2013:

“There was a time in my career that I forgot what got me there, and I lost sight of my priorities, and my priorities shifted. All of a sudden I couldn’t make enough money, I couldn’t become famous enough, and I wanted more. I woke up one day and I hated the person I saw, because I had this moment staring in the mirror where I hated that guy. The Lord led me to 1 John 2:15 which says ‘Do not love the world or anything in the world for if you do, the love of the Father is not in you.’

I left WWE without real security, and know that I serve a big God. It’s been the hardest, most trying, most amazing year or so of my life. I’ve grown as a man, as a father and as a husband.

Never knew that about him. Admirable in the sense he is staying with his integrity. Everyone has their reasons. No shame in stating why and not backing down from said reasons.

DiBiase Posse!

Shame itdidn't work out. I honestly thought he'd end up being a morph of Randy Orton.

No need to insult the poor bloke's weight.

Holy shit I completely forgot about DiBiase. Just completely slipped my mind for so long until the moment I read this thread title.

I honestly 100% thought he'd be bigger/better off than Cody back when they had the Legacy. Had a feeling neither would ever really be stars in the company though.
