Lesson From Your Father

I do not absolutely hate when the WWE does a remake of a previous gimmick. It is possible to bring back good angles, or even bad ones, in fresh ways to really make something to get wrestlers over or get the fans interested.

Ted DiBiase Jr. is carrying around his dad's old title. He is looking for a lackey.You can call the WWE lame for just reworking what worked for the older DiBiase, but there are distinctions. You have the idea here that the SON of the WWE legend wants to follow in his father's footsteps. There is the bit of freshness. Will the son be able to be like his father? Who will be his lackey? Will he soon lose his title? Will the WWE really use this to give him his own stable? Fortunate Sons? Point is, this is not the same exact story that the older DiBiase had over a decade ago. There are subtle differences.

I honestly believe this thing has the potential to really make Ted DiBiase Jr. shine. Legacy did not really do that for him. Rushing him to win gold as soon as he did with Cody Rhodes did not really do that for him. He is finally being allowed to let his own character shine better than it has since his WWE debut. If the WWE continues with this by either treating his belt as a real title or push to find him a lackey, you can have some great storylines and feuds out of that. Run with both ideas. Bring back his dad and push another angle using them. Make a stable. There are so many possibilities. HOWEVER, I would not like to see the WWE spam all the possibilities. Do not explore all the routes. Why not? Why invest so much in one guy? A lot can be done with just one focus. There is no way I can picture the WWE turning Raw into Ted DiBiase's Variety Show. Pick a story and tell it.

If all goes well, I would not be shocked to see Ted DiBiase one day be a World Champion. I would not be surprised to see him become a great heel. He is definitely one of the most interesting things on Raw right now. How will the WWE keep the ball rolling?
