The Fortunate Jobber

*This was something I wrote before in another blog of mine that I have ignored for a long time, thought I'd re-post it here*

I'm going to jump right to it, what the hell has happened to Ted DiBiase?

This guy has been getting shit on so bad, to the point of working dark matches and Superstars.

I think he is very talented, can work the mic and has great potential.

What happened to him?

Was it Maryse? Maybe, but don't think so

Is it the lack of mic time to really help him define who he is? That's a bigger role in it.

In my opinion, I think he made a decent start separating from Maryse, and he needs to cut a good, solid promo stating who he is. Get angry, show that there's a fire lit under his ass and that he is not to be taken lightly.

Maybe have a subtle face turn and get something going with Wade Barrett for the IC Championship, and have his character become the obsessed, tweener underdog constantly attacking Barrett. In the ring during his matches, backstage, in the parking lot, etc.

Of course, for this to happen, instead of DiBiase just randomly attacking Barrett and getting an assault charge, the idea would have to be pitched and Mr. McMahon would have to be cool with it. (I'm not THAT stupid.)

The Smackdown move is a great start, where will it go from here? I hope nowhere but up.

I would be down for that, but, again, what would you do? what will it take to get this underused, and currently buried talent over with the fans?
I'm very curious to hear your thoughts.
