The problem with doing that is that the rich person gimmick was done fairly recently with JBL. I know it's different, but is it different enough? How about him actually being dirt poor? Have him fight for a sandwich. It's very much different. JBL didn't talk about money alot in the WWE, elsewhere he did though. Him being dirt poor wouldn't make alot of sense. If it was somebody else it might work, but him being rich is almost easy money. The poor thing was a joke.

Sarcasm doesn't usually translate well over the internet, plus I'm sure some people would try something like that. Him being the heir to the fortune would be very hard to screw up, but I await to see how WWE blows it. Plus his brother wil be in soon too I'm sure to add to the gimmick.

No, he'll definitely be Jr., or else Keith/Ed/Kareem Abdul. In fact, I'd mark for Kareem Abdul DiBiase. Or just Kareem Abdul. Knowing the 'E they'd so something stupid like that to counteract something they might get spot on right.

Since Monty Brown left recently, maybe they'll just call him Marcus Cor Von. I would only mark for this if Ted Jr. did the pounce too.

I expect them to have Ted and Teddy do some sort of arm wrestling match backstage over the rights to the name Ted. I mean, you know how there can't be two people in the company with the same name cuz then people would get confused! This is probably why John Cena, John Morrison, and John Bradshaw Layfield are all on separate brands.

A Million Dollar Man jr. storyline, with Ted to begin with and then his brother Mike showing up to lay claim to his stake is easy writing, easy storylines and easy money

I bet that WWE will change his first name to something else. Like David DiBiase or something.

or Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo Or Gunner Scott. or Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo That's the worst name ever. I know you're both referencing something, but for the life of me I can't think what, so I'll just direct you to the aforementioned Gunner Scott. And I suggest Theodore DiBiase. After all Teddy Long's name is Theodore, and Theodore sounds so much more rich and pompous than Ted.

He should be Ted "The Million Dollar Son" Dibiase "The Hundred-Thousand-Dollar Man" His first promo he cuts is about how his dad got royally screwed over on his taxes and now he wants to take it out on IRS. Naturally, a Mike Rotunda-DiBiase Jr. feud would take place and main event Survivor Series.

doesn't WWE also have Mike DiBiase under contract or is Mike just in MLW with Joe Hennig?
I think he'll go by Ted DiBiase Jr. and have one of those "spoiled rotten heir" gimmick.
you know the types on tabloids..then he can have his Bro mike dibiase, and they'd be a rich asshole tag team.

If anything, he'd be Ted Dibiase II before he'd be Ted Dibiase Jr.

Yeah Ted Dibiase II would work
I think what would be awesome for TEd or Ted and Mike, is that they need vignettes to introduce the characters.
I'm talking no a yacht with homies, driving up in a fancy exotic car, riding in the back of a stretch hummer limo. Lots of BLING.
They also need to be filmed coming out of nightclubs all drunk and smacking the camera man.
Pretty much yeah Princes of Malibu
After looking things up Mike DiBiase also has a developmental contract, it's just that he's finishing up training at MLW for Harley Race. You'll also see Joe Hennig there.
LOL in the next years Hart, Smith, Hennig, DiBiase, and maybe AFa will be relevant again.

Kris Benoit (It's pronounced benoyt though, so there's no similarities)
