The career of Ted DiBiase Jr. certainly didn't end on a high note, as most wrestling fans were not card-carrying members of the DiBiase Posse. That being said, the son of the 'The Million Dollar Man' and grandson of 'Iron' Mike DiBiase had his moments.

Most of his success came during the early portion of his WWE run while teaming with Cody Rhodes. The duo would go on to capture the tag titles on two separate occasions, before joining up with Randy Orton to form a heel faction known as The Legacy. As a member of The Legacy, DiBiase was even involved in a high profile feud with D-Generation X.

Sadly, after the Legacy split, DiBiase's career began to flounder. He tried, unsuccessfully, to reestablish his father's old Million Dollar Championship and then began tailgating with fans as part of the cringe-worthy DiBiase Posse angle. The third-generation star would wind up leaving WWE and retire from wrestling in 2013.

Despite the fact that he ended his career a bit prematurely, DiBiase had three title reigns and spent roughly six years in WWE, so it wasn't all bad.
