"Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, this year's WWE Hall of Fame 'main eventer,' says he's glad Ultimate Warrior was not added to the Hall of Fame class because he doesn't believe Warrior deserved the recognition.

"I'm glad he wasn't there. I'm glad he wasn't there because he's somebody I don't particularly care for, and quite frankly, he was somebody who got a big push," DiBiase said the Monday Night Mayhem radio show this week. "He's one of those guys that has never really appreciated what was done for him."

DiBiase said there are wrestlers who have done well in the wrestling business that were lacking in some area, but DiBiase believes Warrior is undeserving of recognition because he could only have a good match if he was led by another wrestler and he was never able to lead another wrestler to a good match.

"So the fact that he wasn't called on doesn't bother me at all. I thought that since he lived out in that area (Phoenix), I thought that could have happened, and quite honestly, it would have been a very tense backstage environment if he and I were together," DiBiase said.

"He's one of those guys who has been given so much in terms of an opportunity in our industry, who even to this day doesn't appreciate it, and I don't know for the life of me who he thinks he is."

Also in the interview, DiBiase said he's open to more cameo appearances on WWE TV to work an angle with his son, Ted DiBiase, Jr., but he believes DiBiase is ready to branch out on his own.

"Whenever the company calls on me, and they want me to make a cameo appearance, and if they would like me to do something more on a regular basis, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it," DiBiase said. "I think when you look at the roster and the guys that are there, it's time. It's time for them to start stepping up a notch, and we'll just see how it goes."
