5 children of former WCW stars who became WWE Superstars

#4 Ted Dibiase Jr., son of Ted Dibiase

Dubbed by many as one of the biggest villains of the 80s, Ted Dibiase Sr. popularized the "Million Dollar Man" gimmick in WWE like no one could ever have if they had gotten the opportunity. He was universally hated for bragging about his riches on TV. He carried elements of his character when he made his way to WCW in 1996, soon after the debut of nWo.

Ted revealed himself as the fourth member of the stable and was amusingly referred to as "Trillionaire Ted" by other members of the nWo. He was later replaced by Eric Bischoff as the spokesperson of nWo.

Ted Dibiase Jr. made his way to WWE in 2007 and worked on his skills in FCW for around two years. He jumped to WWE's main roster in 2008 and soon formed The Legacy with the leader, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes. The trio ran roughshod over the WWE roster for the next two years or so and feuded with the likes of the McMahons and Triple H. Dibiase didn't manage to wow the audience as his father did during his glory days and parted ways with the promotion in 2013.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
