WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase shared insights into his past experiences with drug use and the prevalence of addiction in his family.
In a candid discussion on his Everybody’s Got A Pod podcast, DiBiase disclosed details about the substances he used in WWE and the circumstances under which he used them. DiBiase revealed:
I did some coke. The thing about it for me, it wasn’t something I would… I didn’t sit around and do cocaine all day. What it was for me was, well, it was a stimulant, and so if I’m making a long road trip, like I’m gonna be up at 2 or 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning driving, I would take a couple of snorts of coke and I was wide-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Contrary to developing a habitual or addictive pattern, DiBiase emphasised that his use of drugs was “functional,” aiding him in completing tasks amidst a demanding schedule and minimal sleep. Additionally, he shared insights into his family’s struggle with alcohol addiction, stating:
My mother was an alcoholic, and I didn’t want to follow. Alcoholics, drug addicts, they actually say it skips a generation, I don’t know. But, by the grace of God, I wasn’t, and I was never addicted to any alcohol or beer whatever. Nothing.
