WWE Hall of Famer "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Sr. recently spoke with PWTorch and revealed why WWE never brought Ted Jr. back to television:

"The reason he's not been back on TV is they don't want to just throw him back out there. I've had a lot of frustration there, too, as a dad, in trying not to be biased. I asked all my friends - Arn Anderson, Mike Rotunda, the guys who are the producers now - I said, 'Did I miss something? Is there something wrong with my kid? Does he not have it?' They say, 'Oh no, he's one of the best wrestlers we got.' I said, 'What's the deal?' They said, 'We just have to find something for him.'"
