Should the WWF Championship be listed among DiBiase's accomplishments? Granted there's a big "however" in parentheses immediately following "1-Time WWF World Heavyweight Champion", but since he wasn't officially recognized as champion and didn't win the belt, should that be there at all? I'm not arguing to remove the section in the main article that deals with Andre trying to sell the belt to him, I just don't think that his "reign" should be listed among his accomplishments. Thoughts? ekedolphin July 4, 2005 07:42 (UTC)

I removed the WWF World Championship reign from his accomplishments. Not sure why that was in there. WWE does not recognize this. It should also be removed from the List of WWE Champions reigns page. Thanks.
Okay, his son Mike DiBiase isn't a junior so why is it stated on the page? Is that just to distinguish him from his gradnfather? ( MgTurtle ( talk) 02:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC))
Because of his other son, Ted DiBiase Jr., who is mentioned on the page.
I only remember bits and pieces since I was a young kid then, but I'm sure he was featured in an episode on this show many years back, does anyone out there recalls this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.31.45.49 ( talk) 01:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

West Texas State University. Read the article, it's mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefanroark ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
According to his first book, he was first offered a scholarship to Arizona State, but changed his mind after Terry Funk convinced him that by going to WTSU, he could play Division I football and wrestle. Bobbyknightmare ( talk) 00:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
It states that Ted nor Roddy Piper have won a world championship.Roddy Piper has won a world championship (NWA Championship).Is this a mistake or does this mean that he didn't win a world championship in the WWE or WCW?( MgTurtle ( talk) 13:58, 18 July 2008 (UTC))
From what I understand the tournament to crown the first WWF Intercontinental Champion was a ficticious tournament. Is there anyway to get a citation to back this up. There is no footage of this tournament or none that anybody knows of. Plus Pat Patterson was never a South American Champion. It is said that Ted Dibiase brought in the NWA North American Champion than it became the WWF North American Championship. But it also has been said that WWF just made him the WWF North American Champion. So if we could get some references and citations it should be noted. Mr. C.C. ( talk) 06:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

In the "Early life" section, we've got: "Ted was moved to Willcox, Arizona to live with his grandparents. He attended Creighton Preparatory high school" Is this the Creighton Preparatory School in Omaha, Nebraska, as claimed in the notable-alumni section of that article? If so, there should be some mention of when and how DiBiase moved from Arizona back to Nebraska. -- Ammodramus ( talk) 15:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is noteworthy enough for inclusion in the article, but in 2011, DiBiase bought Scottish Wrestling Entertainment. Not a big company, occasionally features appearances from wrestlers with a history with WWE, WCW and TNA ( Diamond Dallas Page, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Tatanka, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Doug Williams, Virgil, Rory McAllister, etc). Is it worth a mention in the article?
