10 WWE Superstars Who Found Religion

6. Ted Dibiase Sr.

Like many wrestlers who performed during the 1980s and 90s, Ted DiBiase was on the road a lot. The schedule was a punishing one and DiBiase, while he was never a drug addict or alcoholic, certainly did his share of partying to get by. But it wasn't substance abuse that was taking over his life, it was womanising. DiBiaise had a strong faith in God when he was a younger man but that dissipated as he grew and entered the wrestling business. His cheating ways became so blatant that his wife confronted him about it after WrestleMania VIII and DiBiase thought his marriage was over. It was only after returning to his bible that DiBiase began to lose his ego and change his ways. He explained in an interview with WrestlingInc.com that after his wife threatened to leave him:
I turned back to my faith in God. It changed my life, I mean totally changed my life. Totally changed the way I look at everything. From that time to today, the most important thing in my life is my wife and my family, not my job, not my career, not me me me me me. It's them.
Now DiBiase works as a minister, spreading the word of God as a member of the Heart Of David Ministry. The Million Dollar Man's views have been controversial in the past, however, and he has made some alarming comments about Isreal and also claiming to have performed miracles himself.
