The MegaBucks The Mega Bucks was a professional wrestling tag team that competed in the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) in 1988 . The team , consisting of " The Million Dollar Man " Ted DiBiase and André the Giant , was formed in a storyline that saw DiBiase purchase André ' s contract from fellow manager Bobby Heenan . André was to win the WWF Championship from Hulk Hogan , but then he attempted to sell the belt to DiBiase . The title was vacated , but DiBiase and André were then scheduled to face Hogan and Randy Savage in a match at SummerSlam 1988 , which Hogan and Savage won . After the match , DiBiase and André went their separate ways and the team was dissolved . History . Formation . Prior to the formation of the team , André the Giant had been engaged in a feud with Hulk Hogan . According to the storyline , André was tired of Hogan being the top wrestler in the WWF and was jealous of Hogan ' s reign as WWF Champion . On an episode of Piper ' s Pit , André turned on Hogan by attacking him and challenging him to a match for the championship . Hogan and André faced each other in the main event of WrestleMania III on March 29 , 1987 . Hogan won the match , but the feud remained unsettled . In November 1987 , " The Million Dollar Man " Ted DiBiase announced his intention to buy the WWF Championship from reigning champion Hulk Hogan . Hogan refused and faced DiBiase in a series of matches instead . After DiBiase lost these matches , he purchased the contract of André the Giant from Bobby " The Brain " Heenan in January 1988 . He planned to help André win the title , after which André would present the belt to DiBiase as a gift . André faced Hogan for the title on the February 5 , 1988 broadcast of The Main Event , with Dave Hebner as the scheduled referee . André pinned Hogan to win the championship and handed the belt to DiBiase . The pinfall was controversial , however , as Hogan ' s shoulders were not on the mat when the referee made the three count . After the match , the real Dave Hebner , who looked identical to referee that had officiated the match , ran to the ring to attack the impostor referee . Hulk Hogan then threw the impostor out of the ring onto DiBiase and his bodyguard Virgil . According to the storyline , DiBiase had paid an unnamed referee to get plastic surgery to look exactly like Dave Hebner . In reality , the second referee was Dave ' s twin brother Earl Hebner , who was making his on - screen debut with the WWF . Feud with The Mega Powers . The controversy resulted in WWF President Jack Tunney declaring the WWF Championship vacant and booking a 14 - man tournament at WrestleMania IV to determine the new champion . In the tournament , André and Hogan were booked to face each other . Their match ended in a double disqualification , and both men were eliminated from the tournament . Meanwhile , André interfered in DiBiase ' s matches , which helped DiBiase make it to the final match , in which he faced " Macho Man " Randy Savage . After André got involved to help DiBiase , Hogan came to the ring to even the odds . Savage won the match and the championship , and the rivalry led to a match being booked between The Mega Powers ( Hogan and Savage ) and The Mega Bucks ( DiBiase and André ) . At the inaugural SummerSlam , the two teams faced off . Jesse " The Body " Ventura had been appointed as a supposedly impartial guest referee by Jack Tunney . It was strongly hinted leading up the event that Ventura , who provided commentary for many WWF events and was a strong critic of Hulk Hogan , had been paid an undisclosed amount by DiBiase . Near the end of the SummerSlam match , Elizabeth , the manager of The Mega Powers , got involved to help her team . She stripped off her skirt to expose her skimpy panties to the stunned Mega Bucks , which allowed The Mega Powers to make a comeback and win the match . While counting the pinfall , Ventura stopped counting at two and hesitated until Savage pushed Ventura ' s hand to the mat to complete the three count . Aftermath . This match marked the end of the feud between Hulk Hogan and André The Giant that had dominated WWF programming for over 18 months . In the weeks after the match , André returned to The Heenan Family , with the explanation that Heenan had quietly purchased his contract back at a large profit , and feuded with other upper - card wrestlers such as Savage and Jake Roberts . Hogan and Savage continued to feud with DiBiase for the remainder of the year . Although the tag team of The Mega Bucks was short - lived , DiBiase and André appeared in the 1989 Arcade game " WWF Superstars " as the game ' s boss tag team .
