During a recent appearance on his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase Sr. shared his thoughts on Scott Hall being his final WWE opponent in 1993 and explained why he chose not to reveal that it would be his last match beforehand.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Scott Hall being his final WWE opponent: “I liked Scott. He and Kevin were more like a team, and very good friends as well. And so you know, having a match with Scott was — I couldn’t think of a better way to go out. I mean, at that time it was like — nobody knew. It wasn’t announced that this was Ted DiBiase’s last match. I didn’t go out like that. You know, I didn’t set a date and, ‘Okay, this is the last time you were ever going to see Teddy DiBiase in the ring.’ You know, that never happened. “

On not announcing his retirement ahead of time: “There’s a few guys that went out that announced it [beforehand]. ‘This is going to be the last time I get in the ring. This is my last match,’ and all that. But, you know, that’s — ‘Eh, okay.’ That didn’t suit me. It was my last wrestling match, but it’s not the last time that people were going to see me because I was going to continue on as a manager and a commentator.”
