Ted Dibiase where now?

I like many people thought Ted was destined for great things when with Legacy and thought he would be a champion before too long, but his stock seems to be falling faster than essex girls knickers after a bacardi breezer. So I was thinking about what he could do to change his gimmick and get over again. I came up with the following, see what you think.

He loses again to a complete jobber, Maryse berates him and leaves.

Ted looks distraught and heads to the back where his Dad is, he complains to his dad, his dad cuts him off, tells him he has done everything for him, given him the trust fund, the million dollar belt, everything he could want for and he is still losing, tells him he is a disgrace to the family name and he is cutting him off. He will have to live off his own back now, he is no longer the frtunate son.

over the next weeks we see a vignette of Ted's house being reposesed and cars going, him having to move into a tiny apartment etc, getting the bus to places, not able to afford anything. Hopefully garnering public favour. He then comes out looking quite scuffy and cut a promo, saying he never realised how hard it was for the ordinary guy in the street to make a living, says he has new found respect for them, now he is one of them and wants to apologise for how he was before. Feels he is a new man, a better man and from now on he's going to represent the people and fight for them and he's going to start tonight by having a match against the guy who beat him a few weeks ago

Alberto Del Rio comes out, they have a really good back and forth match which Ted wins, afterwards he raises the hand of the jobber too and thanks him for making him realise the error of his ways. He then goes on a winning streak, gradually woking his way back up the roster. Winning the IC title off Cody after a decent feud after one or the other getting drafted back to the same show.

Sorry for rambling, I'm bored, my year 9s are doing an exam and I wanted to fill the time.

Scorch

I was never the biggest fan of Ted, to be honest, the best thing he did for me since he came up to the big leagues was bring the best out in Cody Rhodes, until Teddy came up, Cody looked every part the jobber, but being the senior member of the side he took control in promos ect... and he grew a helluva lot, if his second name wasn't DiBiase I doubt he would have made it to the WWE let alone still have a job

Teddy - where now?? FCW or indies would be my advice.

Does Goldust still have the million dollar title?

Ted Dibiase has done nothing of note since that night on RAW back in 2009 when Randy Orton was goading him into taking a swing at him. That night seemed like it would be the launching pad for him, he played his role perfectly and the crowd was begging him to take out Orton.

Since then he's done a big bunch of nothing. I really don't know what to do with him other than what you've suggested (liking the idea by the way Scorch) because they've given him the US title, the Million Dollar belt and the hot valet and none of it has worked.

The need to give him time to develop though to be fair, anytime they have did anything with him its always been rushed, I'd rather see him spend less time jobbing and more time using his money to gain power, a blatent rip off of his dad but surely that would be the kayfabe wise thing to do

most probably TNA Impact Zone

I'd turn Maryse face as she seems to be pointing towards that way anyway on NXT. Then tease a Ted face turn too, only for him to turn on Maryse, hitting 'Dream Street' and really try to garner some heat for attacking a girl.

Maryse seems to be in the Sunny role these days

I'd first off do a love triangle thing with Swagger, which Ted loses and
Maryse goes off with Swagger, Then Rhodes comes out, mocks Ted
saying that him and Orton kept Rhodes down in legacy, but how he
is now beginning to fulfill his potential, and will be wwe champ while
all Ted was and is is a loser, they feud Rhodes wins, Ted disappears for
about a month. Then comes back, as a dominent heel, maybe with his father
as manager.

But isn't this the problem all mid carders seem to get, they get a push
then creative run out of ideas, or move on to someone else, leaving them
floundering with little to do.

I like STD's riches to common man storyline think they could do worse than run with that

It bombed when they tried it with someone far more talented MVP
