That's what he was supposed to be. They groomed him for it from the moment he debuted on WWE TV in May of 2008 when he said he was going to be a champion like his father the "Million Dollar Man" Ted Sr. It's not like Ted Dibiase Jr. was a complete failure. He had his good moments in the Legacy group with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, but there's a reason he got out of wrestling even though he's still a young man in the wrestling world. He was always supposed to that next big tar in the company yet it didn't happen. He didn't even get to hold the IC or US Title. When they gave him his dad's Million Dollar Man style gimmick with the Million Dollar Title and a hot woman like Maryse on his arm, but it seemed so unnatural for him. Dibiase was barely used in his last year in WWE and left the company in 2013 at the age of 30. Most guys hit their prime at that point, but instead he chose to walk away. We should respect him for wanting to be with his family and to take a normal job. However, he was always supposed to be something more in WWE and just didn't live up to the hype.
