Ted and he filled us in on the details.
CFMNews: Is this the first time you have been to Comic Con?
Ted DiBiase: The first time, yes, and it is…absolutely insane.
CFM: So going from doing live shows every week (on WWE Monday Night Raw, Mondays 9-11pm USA Network) to working on a film, what was different about that?
TD: You know wrestling and acting, the film industry….they have their similarities. In wrestling there is a lot more physicality. Well there was a
lot of physicality in this film. I did all my own stunts but when we are wrestling, it is more over the top. When you are playing to a live crowd, you are a little
bit exaggerated. You know….a little bit more. And there are all of those millions of people who are watching on TV at home. And the camera, it catches your facial
expressions. And that is something that you have to let those people at home feel - that emotion your face, whereas people in the crowd who are at the top of the arena,they have to feel it through your movements. Film is more here (frames face). Less is more. And that is something that I learned as the process of the movie
went through and I really enjoyed it. The learning experience was just incredible. I think it helped me a lot with my wrestling, you know? Cause you understand the
importance of exemplifying that emotion. This was my first film. I hope there is more, because it was so much fun.
