Yankeefe, I guess tankeefe knows Ted's heart. I don't presume to know if Ted is sincerely born again or a hypocrite. I do know that Yankee is being judgmental and assumes the worst. Yankee does not really know Ted or Ted's heart. Only God knows Ted's heart!

That's what people forget...the baby face's were the only as good as the heels. I love what Piper said when Hogan said, something to the effect "All of these people come to see me." Piper replied, "Did all of these people come to see you beat me?" Piper and Ted were phenomenal!

I have watched this about five times since I got the alert about this. It’s like God wanted me to see this as someone that just got baptized and turned his life over to God. It just shows that you can have everything in this world and still not be satisfied in life and it also shows that even when you’re born again, Christian , you still struggle with certain things because people want the old you and they can’t accept the new you but that’s God‘s way of showing you that you don’t need to be around those people anymore. God will bring the right people in your life at the right time and that what he has done for me and one thing for sure that he spot on about the truth will find you out and that’s one of the most realist quotes I’ve ever heard regardless if it’s you or someone else the truth always comes out and it takes a real man to accept forgive themselves and you move . He left wrestling at the prefect time and I mean who was there for him to work with? Plus he said he was going in he’s 40s he knew it was time and he chose family and god over wrestling and Vince didn’t accept it? Ask Vince know how life is treating him. Good for Ted

As someone who became a Christian in my adult years, I can really identify with Ted's testimony. Being trapped in the old life that's hurting everyone including me, getting saved and battling old habits and now is grateful and thankful to be on the other side of it. Jesus Christ does indeed save. Glory to God. The only time I never lived with regrets is when I surrendered to Christ and lived life God's way.

He kept wrestling after the event, keep trying chump. If you want to believe what he's saying, good on yeh, but this the same person to steal from people, also wrestled in Japan after this, dunno what to even say about this propaganda interview you just watched. I really respect the wrestler Million Dollar Man, but can't at all listen and believe this complete Propaganda that led to stealing from many people. He loves these characteristic of being good, but sadly he didn't go the good route and just speaker pure bullshit. He never changed, he maybe pretended to change but no.... Love the character but the person can't be trusted at all. The fact that he thinks he only struggled than back than and not all throughout his life, is why he's in the situation he's in.
