10 Classic WWE Era Superstars That Would Still Get Over Today

Ted DiBiase is truly in a class of his own as a talker. You'd have to really dig through the vaults to find someone could so effortlessly rile crowds up while simultaneously ensuring they went home completely satisfied.

Those kind of mic skills can't be constrained to a single era. CM Punk proved that. Punk, who probably comes closest to following in DiBiase's verbal footsteps, almost never worked with a silent crowd. Because only seconds into a promo, they'd be unable to hold back their urge to boo, cheer, or laugh.

The Million Dollar Man never played babyface in the WWE, but that never stopped him from entertaining the crowd in his own, dick-ish way. Do you think today's crowds could possibly contain their outrage while DiBiase pulled a little boy from the audience, told him he'd win five hundred dollars if he dribbled a basketball 15 times, and then booted the basketball out of his hands when he got to 14?

And despite how most people probably remember him, DiBiase wouldn't even have to upgrade his move set all that much to fit in with today's superstars. Particularly in his earlier years, he could work a fast-paced, dynamic match with gusto. And dropkicks. Plenty of dropkicks.
