WWE Hall of Famer āMillion Dollar Manā Ted DiBiase was last night interviewedĀ on Inside The RopesĀ where isĀ addressedĀ past comments he made about Ultimate Warrior ahead of his Hall of Fame induction...
"I mean, I donāt hate the guy. It goes back to anybody that watched the DVD, The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior, that really tells the story. Obviously, if Vince has decided he needs to be in the Hall of Fame, Iām not going to begrudge that and obviously Iām going to be there. I quite frankly, donāt know how many of my peers believes he really deserves it becauseā¦itās not just about being the star itās about aĀ numberĀ of things, it comes back down to theĀ gratitudeĀ thing. None of us would be stars, when I was inducted I hadĀ a listĀ of people that I needed to thank. Harley Race was there in the crowd and I pointed Harley out. I think thatās it, the overall lack ofĀ gratitudeĀ that the Warrior has shown overĀ the years. Where it makes most of us go āWho do you think you are?ā Doesnāt he realise that none of this would be happening if it wasnāt for a lot of help from a lot of people. I think thatās pretty much the consensus. I donāt begrudge him. Iām not that kinda guy to hold a grudge. If I had to feel one thing towards Jim Hellwig, I guess it would be pity a little bit. Iāve heard other people say that he just generally has the attitude that itās about succeeding in life and youāre going to have to do what you can to get ahead and if that means stepping on people along the way then so be it. That, in myĀ opinion, is a very sad commentary and a very poor way to look at life. So am I going to begrudge him for going into the Hall of Fame? No."
