Product Description

Product Description

Ted DiBiase, known to his fans as 'The Million Dollar Man', is considered by many to be the greatest 'heel' wrestler of all time. Raised around the wrestling ring from childhood, he has been involved in wrestling all his life, learning early on that triumph could lead to tragedy when his stepfather, the well-remembered 'Iron Mike' DiBiase, sensationally died in the ring. When the WWE created the Million Dollar Man character for him, DiBiase played the role to the hilt, surrounding himself with money, limousines and all the luxuries that went along with life in the fast lane. Among the most flamboyant wrestlers of the 1980s, he rapidly rose to the top of his profession, where he remained for twenty years. Sidelined by a neck injury he began a second career as a manager, working with some of the biggest stars in wrestling, from Andre the Giant, Bam Bam Bigelow and King Kong Bundy to a newcomer known as The Ringmaster -- who would later become Stone Cold Steve Austin. Only recently ending his WWE career, DiBiase has seen many of the biggest Superstars rise to fame and, in some cases, disastrously fall.Now, in this fascinating book, he steps back and gives readers a full and frank first-hand account of what he saw and experienced over three action-packed decades.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rushed, 20 Jun 2008
By C. J. Rudge "The Grand Slam" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I accidently discovered this book on amazon and bought it immediately. When it turned up I was surprised to see that it was really quite small (just under 300 pages I think) considering Ted DiBiase is 50 odd years old I find that to be far too short. The 1st few chapters are good up until the point when he starts talking about his time in the WWF, which is the main reason most people would've bought the book. He gives that period 1 chapter in which he gives a vague description of his time there and makes next to no mention of any other wrestlers and what they like back stage. A large chunk of the book is taken up of other people saying great he is which wouldn't be so bad if the book was 500 pages instead of 300. My main frustration came when he described on how he was commentating for the 1st time at the Royal Rumble and then mentioned that 2 Kings of the ring were crowned that night in Bret Hart and Lex Luger (?????????? WTF!!!!!) It was clearly ghostwritten and not very well ghostwritten which is a shame because I would've been interested to read some more storys about the backstage antics at WWF/E and WCW. Oh well never mind just have to wait until Hitman comes out over here at a reasonable price.

3.0 out of 5 stars WWE SECTION A LETDOWN, 11 Jul 2009
By Brian O'connell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As one of the best technical wrestlers, Ted DiBiase had the whole package he could wrestle, talk and was the ultimate heel figure, fans really despised him and his wwe character The Million Dollar man. So its disappointing that this is the part of the book which is a letdown.

It all starts well with DiBiase describing his childhood, family life and highly promising College football career. He does a great job of telling how he got started in the business and would finally make the big time as Vince McMahon gave him the character that if he was to become a wrestler (which he eventually did).

This is when the book goes down hill as DiBiase just kind if skimps through it. So while we do learn that he liked all the perks that came with the road (women mainly) we don't learn much about his time there. We do get comments from family members and fellow wrestlers some are welcome some are not.

The book does pick up again at the end when hes very honest describing what its like working as a producer for wwe and that he simply wasn't up to the job. The book would have been better with more chapters like this as there's no doubt he has a few stories to tell.

If your a fan of The Million Dollar Man you might be letdown as it does not give great detail about his wwe time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Illustrious career poorly written down, 27 Feb 2009
By Bart Nachtergaele - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No-one can deny the impact of Ted Dibiase on professional wrestling. An autobiography about this man should be an instant classic.
Turns out I found myself annoyed by the style this book is written. Sentences are kept very simple, Ted's way of describing his matches is dull ("That was a good match.", "That was not a good match.") and he doesn't go very deep in terms of backstage problems.
In short, this book didn't make me laugh, it didn't make me cry. It didn't move me. That's a shame, because Ted's career shouldn't leave someone indifferent.
