DiBiase worked some high profile programs with the likes of Hogan, Warrior, etc., and yes - he was coholder of the tag belts with Rotundo.
It's even been said that he was originally slated to go over Savage & win the strap in the WM IV tournament.
Regardless, with Koko B. Ware in the HOF, it’s a little hard for me to consider DiBiase mid-card talent.
That being said, I see your point.
With guys like the Road Warriors and the British Bulldogs waiting in the wings, it really makes me wonder why and how people like Pete Rose & Bob Uecker make it ahead of them.
By WWE’s standards, “Chilly Billy” Cardille can (and probably will) be inducted before “Jumpin” Johnny De Fazio – not that I would have a problem with that.
To me, it’s the same as inducting Gordon Solie.
But, cameo announcers and/or commentators like “Mr. Baseball” don’t seem quite as deserving.
Then again, don’t forget, Vince is known to do things for “Vince’s own amusement.”
He would make a mockery of his own company just to spite his “adversaries” and get a chuckle along the way.
