WWE Hall Of Famer Ted DiBiase Shares Etiquette Tips For Rookies Wrestlers
WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase shared valuable insights into the crucial role of respect during the formative years of new wrestlers.
In an episode of his podcast “Everybody’s Got a Pod,” Ted DiBiase’s remarks offered a poignant glimpse into the unwritten rules and expectations that governed the wrestling industry in his era.
DiBiase emphasised the significance of earning respect in the wrestling world, stating:
If you’re a rookie, if you’re the new kid on the block, so to speak, it’s basically, ‘Yes, sir’ or ‘No, sir.’ And then that’s the other thing that young guys need to learn is that whether they realise it or not, everybody’s watching them to see what he’s made of.
Moreover, DiBiase highlighted the need for newcomers to navigate their entry with caution and humility. He advised:
If you’re the new guy on the block you don’t want to come in there and take somebody’s locker room space. We go to a lot of weekly towns, right? Everybody seems to have their spot and the one thing you damn sure wouldn’t want to do is move somebody’s stuff.
DiBiase also stressed the importance of observation and dedication in the early stages of a wrestler’s career. He remarked:
Then you find that corner, get dressed, and don’t speak unless you’re spoken to. And that’s at the very beginning, that’s just kind of like, getting broken in and guys would watch you and say, ‘Okay, now he was in the first match did he just get dressed and leave, or did he get dressed and go out to watch the other matches?’ Because if they know that you got dressed and you went and you watched the other matches that you’re actually trying to learn your trade.
DiBiase’s insights provide a detailed look at the respect, humility, and dedication required for new wrestlers to succeed and be accepted in the professional wrestling world.
