Like father, like son.

Ted DiBiase Sr. is one of the greatest superstars in history of WWE and arguably the best to have never been WWE Champion. In 2008, his son, Ted DiBiase Jr. debuted for WWE and looked like he had it all to become a future Heavyweight Champion. WWE did actually have major plans for DiBiase at one point to.

Even before WrestleMania 26 in 2010, their were reports that WWE were grooming him for a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 27 in 2011, but by the time that rolled around, DiBiase's main event expectations were long gone.

DiBiasie seemed to have a promising start to his WWE career. He and Cody Rhodes became WWE World Tag Team Champions on his debut match and it wasn't long before he was sharing the ring regularly with Triple H, Batista, John Cena and more.

He and Cody soon formed The Legacy stable with Randy Orton, and it was pretty hot for a while. Many were expecting DiBiase to be the star of the group, but he was quickly defeated by Randy Orton following the group's split.

Things just went down from there. He would have forgettable feuds with R-Truth, Goldust, Daniel Bryan and former partner Cody, before leaving WWE in 2013. He retired later that year. Ted had the look and skill, but WWE just seemed to lose interest in him.
