* AudienceAlienatingEra: Back in 2010, he brought Virgil back and tried to replicate his father's gimmick for about a month. He didn't win any matches, and got jobbed out to R-Truth on PPV. Virgil was then PutOnABus and his pairing with {{Wrestling/Maryse}} was ''slightly'' more successful.

** "He was trying to FUCK ON ME!"[[note]]During a match on ''[=SmackDown=]'' with him and Cody Rhodes vs. Ezekiel Jackson and Danial Bryan, Ted screwed up and forgot to kick out of a pin, which caused the match to be cut short before the planned finished. Backstage, he went up to to Vince and told him "Where is that referee?! He was trying to ''fuck on me''!" This was so {{narm}}y it even caused Vince [[StunnedSilence to sit back down silent]]. Cody popularized this story during many interviews he had following his first run in WWE.[[/note]]

Misuse. Refers to something praised so much that people who see it afterwards don't think it's as good as everyone says.


* HypeBacklash: As was inevitable with most children of WWE legends. The backlash set in during his 2010 singles push, and he moved further down the card. The backlash was dying off as of his 2011 face turn, and he is remembered these days as a talented competitor who never really got the push he deserved.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Ted was divisive around the time Legacy was formed. Fans were divided between thinking he was a future main eventer with all the skills necessary for the job - or else thinking he was overrated simply because of his father. A third camp felt that he was great in the
ring, but had none of his father's charisma.
