Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier has an article on Ted DiBiase, Jr. saying he has the rare "it" factor. Mooneyham notes that DiBiase has exceeded the high expectations of WWE officials and some of them have already talked about giving him a possible world title run in the future. "I'm very proud. I've heard nothing but good things about my son," father Ted DiBiase said of his son. "All my buddies still are saying the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. It's like watching yourself again. I think it's great."
The same article notes rumors regarding the WWE status of Mr. Kennedy. Mooneyham wrote: "Rumors have circulated that the tough-luck grappler might be on the endangered list once his current contract expires. Kennedy has been injury-prone his entire career, which has resulted in a number of starts-and-stops for the young wrestler, who once seemed destined for stardom."
