YMMV / Ted DiBiase Jr.

• Audience-Alienating Era: Back in 2010, he brought Virgil back and tried to replicate his father's gimmick for about a month. He didn't win any matches and got jobbed out to R-Truth on PPV. Virgil was then Put on a Bus and his pairing with Maryse was slightly more successful.
• Base-Breaking Character: Ted was divisive around the time Legacy was formed. Fans were divided between thinking he was a future main eventer with all the skills necessary for the job - or else thinking he was overrated simply because of his father. A third camp felt that he was great in the ring, but had none of his father's charisma.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Diva Dirt liked to mock him for his bad fake tan during 2010.
  • "He was trying to FUCK ON ME!"^note During a match on SmackDown with him and Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson and Danial Bryan, Ted screwed up and forgot to kick out of a pin, which caused the match to be cut short before the planned finish. Backstage, he went up to Vince and told him "Where is that referee?! He was trying to fuck on me!" This was so narmy it even caused Vince to sit back down silent. Cody popularized this story during many interviews he had following his first run in WWE.
  • Hustlin' Jr, adapted from his father.
• Narm Charm: His feud with Goldust over the Million Dollar Championship was cheesy and ridiculous (secret admirer messages for the title!) but still quite fun.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The DiBiase Posse gimmick could probably have taken off if it had been given the right chance, but Ted just got used sporadically in lesser feuds.
