The Million Dollar Man bought his way into our hearts throughout the 80s and 90s. Together with his bodyguard Virgil he made waves across the WWF by buying titles, forming corporations, and even creating his own Million Dollar Championship.
Before being the Million Dollar Man, Dibiase was merely the thousand dollar man, working various local wrestling circuits before signing up with the WWF.
Once he entered the WWF he was given his million dollars and as many gold sequined suits as he could have Virgil carry.
Seeing as “everybody [had] a price,” Dibiase was able to buy his way into title shots, late Royal Rumble entry, and at one time he was able to buy the rights to use fellow wrestler Hercules as his slave.
Irwin R. Schyster and Dibiase formed Money Incorporated in the early 90s and tore up the tag-team charts, winning the title three times before IRS had to take leave for tax season.
While IRS was gone, Dibiase formed the Million Dollar Corporation. Unfortunately inflation had devalued a million dollars, so he was forced to recruit King Kong Bundy, Bam Bam Bigelow, Sycho Sid, and Tatanka. Later on he’d add The Underfaker to his stable of 3rd rate heels. And lastly, in Dbiase’s final stroke of genius before turning born-again, he introduced The Ringmaster – or Stone Cold Steve Austin as he’d later be known.
Now-a-days Dibiase can be found at churches across the south preaching the word of God.
Everybody’s gotta pray, for the Million Dollar Man.
