Since accepting Rhodes' offer of mentorship last May, mounting evidence suggests that it has been more burden than blessing for DiBiase. In addition to having to wear a paper bag over his head on more than one occasion, DiBiase has been mercilessly berated by Rhodes over his losses on SmackDown. Worse, when Rhodes won the Intercontinental Title from Ezekiel Jackson earlier this month, he instructed his protégé to put a bag over Jackson’s head. The result? An enragedJackson went on the attack, not against the Superstar who had just taken his Intercontinental Title, but against DiBiase.

Seriously, after months of humiliation by his so-called mentor, hasn’t DiBiase taken enough abuse? If he's under the impression that Rhodes's guidance is leading him in the right direction, recent circumstances almost implore that he strongly reconsider his position. Perhaps enduring such harsh tutelage will end up paying dividends for DiBiase in the long run ... but it's also quite possible that Rhodes' underhanded "leadership" could ultimately leave DiBiase holding a very empty bag.
