Ted DiBiase has put out feelers for acting gigs but reportedly is not interested in moving to Los Angeles. DiBiase is one of the names who have been talking about leaving WWE. Word going around was that he was staying with WWE until the end of the year and then would make a decision about his future.

Thoughts if he does leave? To me, don't really care... He hasn't been used right.

If his heart is not there, then all the power to him. It would be a shame, as he is one of my current favorite in-ring perfermers, but as you have said, he just doesnt get used right.

He has often talked about giving up wrestling and going into acting. Cant really blame him, he's only rarely been used on any decent scale and cops a lot of criticism. His time with Maryse produced some good segments and let him show off his mic skills, he's better than most on the roster in ring wise as well. He's just another one of those young, talented prospects in the WWE that gets absolutely wasted in favour of the 3-4 guys the WWE does actually push constantly.

He got lost in the shuffle. Real shame, I liked him a lot. I honestly feel he could be challenging for the US title. He's got the in ring and mic work ability.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It's like they choose NOT to push Dibiase.

lol acting?

I haven't seen that straight to DVD film he did but can't imagine he's any good at it, he's shown no personality or charisma in his whole run in the WWE.

Someone who couldn't get over with wrestling fans is going to try acting?

Goodluck with that........

Learn from Muhammed Hassan.

I haven't seen either of those but in 90% of his movies his acting is more wooden than Pinocchio.

On topic though Ted gets a bad rap, he's not The Rock on the mic but he's not terrible and once he left Legacy he was given the jobber push where WWE seems to think that just putting them on TV every week but having them lose every week will get them over.

This is really no suprise he has not been used strongly for awhile now, but like wise has not developed how many would have hoped. Good luck to him if he does decide to leave and presure acting. I don't see why him not getting over in WWE will effect his acting career, acting and wrestling are two different arts.

He was just a pale copy of his dad I saw nothing special in him to begin with and he was an awful face as well and if Marine 2 was anyone to look forward to in regards to acting skills he won't be getting far in Acting either.

I remember people saying he would be the break out star of Legacy, while I always favored Cody. Cody has done great things, and will continue to do so, while Ted...just tried to copy his father.

Wouldn't be no real loss giving his lack of TV time but I don't think he's any worse than Cody is. Only thing Cody had going for him over Ted was that he got the Dashing and Grotesque gimmicks to set him apart from his father whereas Ted didn't.
