CM Punk's A-List Wake-Up & Chelsea Green's Playboy Past: Ten Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling This Week

7. A Million Dollar Lie?

On last week's Ten Things, we looked at Ted DiBiase's petition to get his WWE Title 'reign' officially recognised by WWE. 

This week, his son Ted Jr. was making headlines (more like bylines) speaking about his former tag team partner and current AEW star/EVP Cody Rhodes. 

The Million Dollar Kid was responding to a story The American Nightmare told some years ago about what he described as the 'worst' match of his life, a six-man where DiBiase Jr. was involved in an apparently botched finish. 

The story that Cody told had DiBiase hunting out the referee after the fact, saying 'Where's the referee? He was trying to f*ck on me!', the odd phrasing puzzling Vince McMahon, who was seated in the Gorilla Position. 

Ted Jr. sought to set the record straight when speaking to Wrestlezone.com: 

"Look, I'm just going to say this - that dude will say something and beat a dead horse with it. I may have said 'he tried to f*ck me', but I don't know where he got the 'he tried to f*ck on me'. Sorry, I'm trying not to curse in front of the kids, but look, that dude knows how to blow something up. I think it's hilarious and it's probably a shot at me, but he'd do that all of the time. 

He'd make something up that somebody said and scream it non-stop in the locker room, and then everybody would adopt it. So, I was pissed because I did kick out. You can go back and watch it, but we had a meeting that day where [they told us] 'The referees are going to count you out if you don't kick out!'.

I did kick out, and I don't remember his [the referee] name, but anyway, I was hot [about it]. I was pissed, I said a lot of cuss words when I came through there, but Cody can tell a story. He can fabricate one too [laughs]". 

A wrestler exaggerating something in order to get over at someone else's expense?!? 

Perish the thought.
