The son of WWE Hall Of Famer, 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase, Ted Jr was swimming upstream from the start in the company. Making his main roster debut in 2008, he formed a tag-team with Cody Rhodes that showed some promise. From there, he joined 'Legacy', under the guidance of Randy Orton. This was as high a spot as he'd ever get, because creative seemed to run out of ideas for the man. After Legacy dismantled, DiBiase turned into a pale imitation of his father. Regrettably, the choice of music WWE had in mind for the man didn't help him whatsoever, it was awful. His dad's entrance music was instantly-recognisable, with his trademark laugh and the refrain of, 'money, money, money, money, money' ringing out. This let you know what his character was all about. Ted Jr's tried the same thing, but failed terribly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=32&v=snDUkFFWEZw The terrible auto-tune prevalent in the vocals isn't the only problem, the lyrics are also confusing. They pretty much say that Ted Jr is only where he is because his father was rich. That may be considered ok, considering who his dad is, but WWE should have been trying to let Ted Jr stand on his own merits. Fans didn't hate his character as much as his entrance music, which is not good.
