Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard joining WWE as the Brain Busters:
“I thought it was great. Arn and I have been friends for a long time, and my relationship with Tully goes all the way back to when we played football together at West Texas State. But yeah, Tully and Arn in the ring. Oh my gosh. They definitely had it. And Arn picked it up quickly.”
It’s clear that Dibiase had a deep respect and admiration for both Anderson and Blanchard. Their chemistry in the ring was undeniable, and their time as the Brain Busters in WWE left a lasting impact on the industry.
The Brain Busters not being allowed to reference their history:
“I’m not Vince McMahon. I don’t have the mentality of Vince McMahon. But personally, I think that would have worked. I’m not Vince. And again, I think you’re right in terms of Vince didn’t own the Four Horsemen. And maybe that’s why he didn’t want anybody continuing to. Wave the flag, so to speak.”
Dibiase acknowledged that while he may have had a different perspective than Vince McMahon, he believed that referencing their history as part of the Four Horsemen could have added an extra layer of intrigue to their characters. However, he also recognized that McMahon’s decision may have been influenced by not owning the rights to the Four Horsemen.
The Big Boss Man:
“I love the guy, I loved him, for a guy that was as big as he was, he moved pretty dang good. Well, that interview right there, I hadn’t seen that in so long, and I had forgotten it, but oh my gosh. He could give it. He could bring it. And some guys can, and some guys don’t.”
Dibiase expressed his admiration for the late Big Boss Man, highlighting his impressive athleticism despite his size. The Big Boss Man’s ability to deliver in the ring left a lasting impression on Dibiase, showcasing his dedication and talent.
