Ted DiBiase On How He Was Able To Have Good Working Relationship With Matt Borne

On the latest episode of Everybody’s Got a Pod, WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase talked about his former tag team partner, Matt Borne. You can check out some highlights below:

Ted DiBiase on working with Matt Borne: “It was one of those things where Matt and I were compatible in the ring. And quite frankly, the other thing is that I think what Matt understood is that, ‘If there’s a leader in this team, it ain’t you.’ it was me. Matt was a good hand, but just, gosh, nobody liked him. He was just a sh**ty person.”

On Borne as a performer: “He could really go. And I don’t know — and maybe, obviously he knew that too. And I don’t know what the deal was, whether he was trying to use that as a reason for, ‘We’re going to do this my way.’ And of course, if he was tagging with me, I said, ‘We’re not going to do it your way. We’re going to do it my way.’ Because I was the senior guy. Or I should say, maybe the more established guy.

“And I would even tell him, I said, ‘Hey, I’m welcome to any ideas you have.’ I mean, it’s not like I’m not going to be the Gestapo out there. And we managed to have a very good business relationship. Put it that way.”
