10 Most Boring WWE Wrestlers Of All Time
7. Ted Dibiase Jr
Second generation wrestlers have always got comparisons to overcome alongside trying to prove themselves as good talents in their own right, but that sword is double edged and cuts co-workers too.
Doors get opened in wrestling if you grew up in or near the industry, and even in 2021 there's enough evidence out there to remind audiences that nepotism is going nowhere. Ultimately, it behoves the sons, daughters etc to build up enough credit with fans that their bloodline becomes part of a legacy rather than the only reason they're on screen.
Ted Dibiase never managed this. Unable to escape his Father's long shadow, Dibiase was badly booked by the can't-be-f*cked energy of the product at the time, but failed to remotely wrestle his way through the fog. If asked, it's unlikely fans watching then can name a singles match he was in that could stand up as a classic, and the tag matches with the likes of Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton weren't that much better.
It seemed as if he knew it too - a distinct lack of charisma couldn't mask a certain indifference to the world, and it was one he ultimately found success outside of. Every "where are they now" finds him exponentially happier than he ever was between the ropes.
