He's just never really done ANYTHING for me, personally, to spark any interest whatsoever. Ted just has no real personality. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a more dull and bland person (Heath Slater withstanding). Slater isnt dull, he is just a monumenta jackass.

have him join Nexus. His trust fund money will assist the group in taking over RAW. I like that idea, it makes sense and should keep Ted in the background after he initially joins. The annoying thing is that he has potential judging by his HiaC match with DX, he was pretty charismatic when HHH was stuck on the outside.

All he had to do was punch Orton in the face when the crowd was screaming for it.
Star is born.
No, wait, he still would have blown that. He has zero charisma. No personality at all. If you are gonna give him the "rich kid" gimmick, he needs to be wearing suits, driving fancy cars, paying people off all of the time. Do segments with the crowd paying them to do stupid things. If you have to copy his dad, fine, but don't half ass it like they are doing now.

Months ago the announcers were dropping the idea that Ted was "burning through his trust fund" so I assumed they were going to do a "Ted goes destitute, becomes a train jumping hobo" angle, but alas it's yet to come to pass.

Ted Jr. should've went face when Marine 2 came out, that's where they f***ed up.
And I guess having his fortunate sons stable fall through due to injury before it even began really f***ed things up for him.

Something like this is the only thing that could make him interesting at this point. Have him lose everything. He goes on a losing streak, thus he loses maryse. Then Ted Senior cuts him off for being an embarressment, and eventually Ted Jr becomes destitute and turns to crime, turning up at a lavish Dibiase party drunk and dressed like Santa, stuffing salmon from the buffet in his suit. Meanwhile Ted Snr recruits R-Truth to run his million dollar company for him, but Truth finds out it was all just a bet, so together with Ted Jr they send Ted Snr a fake crop report and make a fortune on Frozen Oj stocks and put Ted Snr out of business.

Hate to say that, but he really was better off in Legacy...

Have Maryse "divorce" him (even though they're not fake married) and she takes all his money, leaving him broke and pathetic, and working matches just to make ends meet. It's reminiscent of an early DDP angle I loved so much.

I absolutely love Ted, but he NEEDS a new gimmick. The one he has right now obviously isn't doing him any good.

It seems like another attempt to try and get a guy over by having him lose constantly.
I can't see it working. And I quite like Ted Jr, as it goes.

This.Is.All.Bretts.Fault. Seriously...I think they had that "Fortunate Son" stable in the works and then his brother HAD to get injured when he was gonna get called up But even then....he would still be boring. So this leads to what I've been saying since 2 years ago : FACE TURN!! >.< but I do see that the SRS thing works for him a bit. With the DX stuff and the Orton things and the part where he screamed at Maryse so loud her hair went flying. Oh and when he slapped his father sooo hard. If only Creative would give him a chance. His brother Brett on the other hand is actually a better heel. I saw one promo of his in FCW and seems like that Owen Hart type brat. Maybe bring him in, have Ted go bankrupt and Brett still have a lot of money. Heel Ted: NO Face/SRS Ted: YES

I want to see him become either Ted Dibby Aussie, stereotypical Australian, or add a d to his name to become Tedd DiBiase before revealing to Maryse he often fantasizes about turning into a woman and making out with a squirrel. Don't you talk about Layla like that!

Just when Miz won the MITB briefcase/lunchbox, the first thought that came into my mind was "Ted DiBiase should come out on Raw and try to buy th briefcase". Have him pay referees backstage in order to count fast for him, have him try to buy championships off faces that people care about (Bryan or Kozlov and Santino if Ted had a partner), hell, even try to buy the GM position to "get what I deserve since I was born" but just losing to R-Truth, who has nothing going for him, won't help the guy. If WWE cares that much for Ted, do something with the guy.

Ted is an average wrestler with poor mic skills and charisma. There's plenty of other guys who are all-around better than him and more deserving of the push that he got up to his sudden burial.

It's stupid really. The thing about it is that nobody can predict what's going to get over or not. If you never try to get something over then you'll never know if it will or not. Though I do agree that this current gimmick should have been avoided or at least gone full bore.

Though I do agree that this current gimmick should have been avoided or at least gone full bore. The problem is that while trying new things out can work, there's no point in trying things out when they become more costly than the benefits they can project. DiBiase never got over through Legacy. Not before it or right after it either. So to get him over, they pretty much fed John Morrison to him for a couple months or so. Why? Morrison was getting good fan reactions despite the constant yo-yo pushes he had gotten up to that point, and had proved himself capable of playing a somewhat better heel than DiBiase ever had (in terms of once again, fan response). So that begs the question. Why did they depush him to elevate DiBiase, a guy who was a less valuable person to have on the roster in terms of his overall value anyway? That's a bigger problem than not taking risks: it's that they take unnecessary risks with the wrong people, and never pull the trigger when they've got a bullseye on creating a new megastar.

You know what? We'll probably find out he wanted to be a policeman like David Flair and just wrestled to please his dad.

Ted is worthless right now.
His gimmick is that he is the son of the Million Dollar Man yet he doesn't flash any money around. He has a beautiful valet who only gets pissed at him every week. His theme song sucks the life out of the arena, etc.
Everything with him as bombed. Bringing Virgil back, introducing the Million Dollar Belt, and he has lost every feud he has been in.
The problem with him is that in the old days a mid-card heel could be a big deal because while he would lose to the top stars, he would have plenty of lower guys to toss around. Now because the roster is so small, he's not realy in a position to go over anybody.
