Million Dollar Corporation The Million Dollar Corporation was a heel stable in the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) from April 1994 to May 1996 and was led and managed by the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase . History . Beginning ( 1994 ) . DiBiase ' s first members were Nikolai Volkoff and Bam Bam Bigelow . They were soon joined by DiBiase ' s former tag team partner Irwin R . Schyster ( I . R . S . ) . Another infamous addition was made early on , when DiBiase claimed to be bringing The Undertaker back to the WWF after a long absence . The next week a man looking and sounding like The Undertaker was produced by DiBiase on " Superstars " . Initially , announcers accepted DiBiase ' s claim , but eventually his man ( wrestler Brian Lee ) was revealed to be a doppelgänger . After a main event showdown with " the real Undertaker " at SummerSlam 1994 , the Million Dollar Man ' s version was not seen again . Also at SummerSlam 1994 , the Corporation gained another member . For weeks , the WWF had teased a heel turn by Lex Luger as DiBiase ' s men constantly interfered in matches on his behalf and offered him bribes to join the stable . His tag team partner at the time , Tatanka , became suspicious and challenged him to a match , only to turn and join himself after DiBiase distracted Luger to set up the pin . Bam Bam Bigelow teamed with Tatanka to challenge for the WWF Tag Team Championship . After the team ' s loss in a tournament final to determine new champions , Bigelow became involved in a worked altercation with football legend Lawrence Taylor at ringside . The two squared off in the main event of WrestleMania XI , where Taylor was victorious . After his loss to Taylor , relations soured between Bigelow and DiBiase , cooling for months until the former turned face and saved then - WWF Champion Diesel from a beating at the hands of the Corporation . Expansion ( 1995 – 1996 ) . Throughout 1995 , the Corporation continued to feud with the WWF ' s top faces , including The Undertaker , Luger , Diesel , and Razor Ramon . At the 1994 Survivor Series , the Corporation defeated a team captained by Lex Luger in an elimination tag team match . To fight off The Undertaker , DiBiase recruited King Kong Bundy and Kama , who stole The Undertaker ' s urn and had it melted down into a gold chain for himself . In a memorable series of skits , IRS traveled to a graveyard in order to " leave no stone unturned " in his investigation of dead tax cheats , and to psych out The Undertaker . Tatanka , Bundy , Kama , and IRS all left the WWF in mid to late 1995 . DiBiase added Sycho Sid after Sid turned on Shawn Michaels following WrestleMania XI , and later added The 1 - 2 - 3 Kid during a feud with Razor Ramon . The Ringmaster ( Steve Austin ) , who initially used DiBiase ' s Million Dollar Dream , turned out to be his last protégé . Austin feuded with Savio Vega in 1996 , beating him ( with a Million Dollar Belt shot ) at WrestleMania XII . Vega , however , defeated Austin at during a strap match . The stipulation of that match was that DiBiase would have to leave the World Wrestling Federation if the Ringmaster lost . Austin later claimed that he intentionally lost the match with Vega in order to be rid of DiBiase and begin his " Stone Cold " gimmick ( although he had already begun using the name ) shortly thereafter . Had Austin won the match , Vega would have to become DiBiase ' s chauffeur . DiBiase left the WWF and joined WCW shortly after .
