## Feud with Hulk Hogan and WWF Champion(1987-1988)

Ted Dibiase debuted at Superstars 91 finding the 24/7 champion Virgil backstage, handing him half a million in cash to make Virgil his lackey, Virgil immediatly handed him the 24/7 championship.

Strike Force challenged them at SNME May for the 24/7 championship where Virgil pinned Martel and became champ yet again but yet again laid down and let Dibiase pin him, on the same show after Ricky Steamboat defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF Championship, Andre The Giant and Ted Dibiase were about to attack Hogan when Steamboat helped him out.

Dibiase and Andre formed the short lived Mega Bucks as they tried to take the WWF title and take down anyone on their path, at SNME June Mega Bucks defeated Steamboat and Hogan with Dibiase making Hogan pass out in a choke. At King of the Ring it was scheduled to be Dibiase vs Hogan with the winner facing the WWF champion at Summerslam but Steamboat attacked Hogan before the match and took his spot, Steamboat defeated Dibiase. The feud culminated at Summerslam where Dibiase rolled Hogan up to defeat him and enter the G1.

Dibiase managed to advance to the G1 Finals after defeating The Blue Blazer and Rick Rude in the triple threat, Dibiase defeated Bret Hart to win the G1. At Survivor Series, Dibiase defeated Sting after the ref fast counted and Dibiase became the new WWF champion, at SNME December Dibiase faced off against Virgil but obviously it ended in 15 seconds as Virgil let himself get pinned, Sting returned afterwards and beat up both men. At Royal Rumble Dibiase and Sting faced each other with Sting picking Barry Horowitz as the special guest referee as he was the most neutral guy in WWF but Dibiase still defeated Sting, after the match president of WWF Jack Tunney finally got to the bottom of what happened at Survivor Series as Dibiase had bribed the ref so Tunney decided to punish him with Dibiase having to defend the title in a 16 men tournament at Wrestlemania 4 where he can be eliminated at any time.

Due to being WWF champion, he got the advantage of immediatly being in the quarter finals where he defeated Jake Roberts, in the semi finals he defeated Bret Hart but in the finals he was defeated by Ultimate Warrior to lose the WWF title.

## Multiple 24/7 title reigns and Million Dollar Champion(1988-1989)

At SNME May, Dibiase got his rematch but lost to Warrior in just 5 minutes, at King of the Ring Bad News Brown challenged him as he was on a quest to defeat every former WWF champion which he did to Dibiase with ease. At Summerslam, Dibiase was involved in an 8 men battle royal to determine the NO1 contender for the WWF Championship which was won by Jake Roberts.

At Superstars 149, after winning the 24/7 Championship for a sixth time, Andre The Giant returned and demanded the money that Dibiase promised him for teaming up with him. At SNME September, Andre squashed Virgil, Dibiase accepted a match against Andre in the conditions that if Andre lost he could not compete in the rumble match OR wrestlemania but at G1 Finals, Andre The Giant defeated Ted Dibiase.

Dibiase demanded for Virgil to get him the 24/7 Championship back by Survivor Series or else he would be fired, Virgil did so rolling up Rick Rude after his match. At SNME December, Rick Rude defeated Ultimate Warrior and Ted Dibiase in a triple threat to win back the 24/7 Championship.

At Royal Rumble, Dibiase was yet again 24/7 Champion and introduced the million dollar championship as he declared himself as a double champion but The Bushwhackers immediatly rolled up Dibiase and won the 24/7 title.

The Mountie challenged Dibiase to put his precious million dollar title on the line at Wrestlemania in a 6 men ladder match which Dibiase relunctantly accepted. Leading up to mania, Dibiase won back the 24/7 Championship for a ninth time. At Wrestlemania 5, Virgil defeated Dibiase, Barry Horowitz, Rick Rude, The Mountie and The Blue Blazer to win the million dollar title, Dibiase demanded for Virgil to give the title back to him, Virgil attacked him with the title and proceeded to roll him up and also win the 24/7 Championship breaking free of Dibiase's reign

## Feud with Virgil, introducing The Undertaker and first Million Dollar Corporation(1989-1991)

At Superstars 181, something started getting teased surrounding Ted Dibiase and Virgil's feud as Virgil showed up during a Dibiase match but the lights started to flicker so he ran away. At SNME June, Dibiase seemed to be helping Hulk Hogan against Haku and Andre The Giant but immediatly turned on him as he wanted a title shot, in the leadup to this Dibiase made his way to the ring while Hogan was having a match, the lights went down and when they got back up a dark tall figure was choking out Hogan, they went off and back on and the mysterious figure had disappeared and Dibiase took profit and did his submission to Hogan. At King of the Ring, Hogan defeated Dibiase to retain the title.

At Summerslam, Virgil defeated Dibiase clean to retain the million dollar title. Dibiase started a short feud with Rick Rude calling him a loser for being the first man who lost his cash in match, at SNME September a gong went off and the tall figure appared out of thin light again and chokeslammed Rick Rude for Dibiase to defeat him.

After weeks of vignettes, Dibiase finally introduced the dark tall figure to face Virgil for the million dollar title, it was The Undertaker who squashed Virgil to win the title.

After a few months of Dibiase realizing that he wasn't able to control The Undertaker anymore and Taker did not care about him, the final shot was taken as Undertaker put the million dollar title on fire as a sacrifice to the gods, Dibiase tried attacking him but failed. At Wrestlemania 6, Undertaker defeated Dibiase

Dibiase tried getting Virgil's help back but Virgil says Dibiase knew Taker was dangerous and this is all his fault so he refuses to help, Dibiase says he wants to kill Taker but no one is helping him so he'll get help himself. At SNME May, Dibiase managed to roll Taker up to beat him, afterwards Road Warriors debuted and helped Dibiase take him down forming the first iteration of Million Dollar Corporation

At SNME June, Dibiase got another WWF title shot losing yet again to Hulk Hogan. At Summerslam, Orient Express and Shane Douglas defeated MDC to enter the G1. Rick Martel started challenging the old generation of wrestlers to matches and Dibiase was the first one to accept. At Survivor Series, the Old Generation consisting of Jake Roberts, Roddy Piper, Ted Dibiase and Jimmy Snuka defeated the New Generation consisting of Rick Martel, Undertaker, Shane Douglas and Jim Neidhart, in the same show Mike Rotunda returned and Dibiase paid millions for him to join Million Dollar Corporation as he turned them into IRS and they formed Money Inc.

At SNME December, Dibiase failed to win the WWF title against Haku. At Wrestlemania 7, the first iteration of MDC came to an end after Legion of Doom(the former Road Warriors) defeated Demolition to win the tag titles and Dibiase paid president of WWF Gorilla Moonson to give Money Inc a tag title match immediatly after, Money Inc defeated LOD and became tag champions

## Money Inc, second iteration of MDC and retirement(1991-1992)

Jim Duggan was hired as president of WWF after Moonson got fired due to his bribe, the WWF champion Haku had a huge grudge with Duggan in the old days so he challenged Money Inc to a match just to destroy them for causing this. At SNME June, Dibiase got another WWF title shot losing to Haku in a fatal 5 way also involving IRS and Beverly Brothers.

At Summerslam, Money Inc retained the tag titles against LOD, at SNME September they defended it against Beverly Brothers, at G1 Finals they defended it against The Rockers and Dibiase challenged Martel to another survivor series tag team match, if Dibiase's team won he would get Rick Martel's MITB briefcase. At Survivor Series, Rick Martel, Koko B.Ware, Undertaker and Bob Backlund defeated Money Inc, Bret Hart and Jake Roberts.

At This Tuesday in Texas, Backlund and Koko defeated them to win the tag titles but they quickly won it back on the next RAW to become 2 time champions. Dibiase reignited his feud with Hogan as Hogan and Beefcake had won the survivor series tag team tournament and were scheduled to face the tag champs at Wrestlemania. At Wrestlemania 8, Hogan and Beefcake won by DQ as Dibiase and IRS continued beating up Hogan on the corner even after the 5 count by the ref.

Money Inc were picked as the 11th overall pick for Smackdown when the brand split began, on the first ever edition of Smackdown they held an open challenge which Headshrinkers debuted and won the tag titles.

At Smackdown 11, Dibiase announced he was reforming the Million Dollar Corporation and he'd be getting the best wrestlers to join his brand, at Smackdown 12 Barry Horowitz asked for a chance to join them as he wanted to revitalize his career, Dibiase put him on a series of tests going from bench pressing to athletic runs to local wrestler matches, his last task was to beat Dibiase's former protege Virgil. At In Your House 3, Dibiase pushed Horowitz out of the top rope and led an ambush on him as Virgil joined the Million Dollar Corporation.

At Smackdown 19, Dibiase introduced Yokozuna as the new member of MDC. At In Your House 4, Dibiase was fighting Horowitz when a red balloon showed up from under the ring signaling the return of Doink The Clown as Doink choked out Horowitz. Horowitz asked for help from everyone to defeat a dangerous Doink but MDC laughed to his face until Yokozuna himself got choked out and left in an alley. At Survivor Series, Doink defeated Horowitz, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Lawler, Ted Dibiase, IRS and Virgil in a handicap elimination match, during it Dibiase and Virgil ran away, the match ended with Horowitz disappearing and a red balloon with Horowitz's picture attached to it flying onto the ceiling.

Jarrett and Lawler blamed MDC for the supposed death of Barry Horowitz, at In Your House 5 Money Inc were having a match against Lawler and Jarrett when Lawler hit a piledriver on Dibiase which broke his neck and the match had to be thrown off in what was his last wrestling match

At Smackdown 36, Dibiase announced that his in ring career was over but his career was not as he would continue to manage Million Dollar Corporation, he kicked Yokozuna out of the group and introduced King Kong Bundy to it.

Leading up to Wrestlemania, Duane Gill introduced the 24/7 Championship back and MDC immediatly attacked him so Dibiase could become a 10 time champion, Dibiase buried the title but 3 weeks later Gill dug it out to become champ yet again, same thing happened and Dibiase became a 11 time champion, he gave the title to a dumpster man so that he could destroy it.

## Managing Million Dollar Corporation(1992-1995)

Tatanka joined Million Dollar Corporation in an episode of Smackdown in march, Dibiase, IRS, Virgil and Tatanka ended up being traded to RAW but not King Kong Bundy, they started a short feud with Four Horsemen over who was the best stable. At In Your House 6, Dibiase introduced the newest member of MDC, Marty Jannetty, him, IRS and Virgil defeated Ric Flair, Lex Luger and Shawn Michaels.

At Wrestlemania 10, the show started with a dumpster man revealing that he has held the title ever since Dibiase told him to destroy it so he has been 24/7 champion for 415 days, Virgil rolled the dumpster man up to win the title, MDC came out as Dibiase demanded for Virgil to go down but Virgil yet again turned on Dibiase attacking him with the title and running away.

Some weeks later, Tatanka also decided to leave MDC to focus on himself which got him a beatdown by Jannety and IRS, this was supposed to make Tatanka a face but the crowd started cheering MDC with these beatdowns so they dropped the storyline. At RAW 134, Dibiase introduced Kama as the new MDC member, around a month later they reintroduced King Kong Bundy to team up with Kama, together they won the tag title tournament.

At RAW 154, Kama and Bundy defeated New Foundation to become RAW tag team champions with help from Sycho Sid who joined MDC, at Wrestlemania 11 Jeff Jarrett, The Roadie and Savio Vega defeated IRS, Marty Jannetty and Sycho Sid and therefore IRS was fired from WWF, on the same show Kama and Bundy defeated Smoking Gunns to unify both tag titles.

At RAW 169, Kama hit a punch on Zip that would knock out anyone, pinned him but Skip put Zip's hands on the ropes, Kama argued with the ref to end the match as he was knocked out and tried to punch him, the ref ducked and ended the match in a DQ win for Zip which got Bodydonnas a tag title match. The following week, Dibiase demanded for president of WWF Jerry Lawler to fire the ref but Lawler refused saying Kama should be the one fired, Dibiase threatened to sue Lawler for breaking his neck all those years ago and demanded that he had to join Million Dollar Corporation, Lawler fired the referee but he decided to fire Dibiase too as he was not afraid of getting sued.

MDC gave a preposition to Lawler as he would pick his guy and Dibiase would pick his own, if Dibiase's guy won he'd be back on RAW. Dibiase picked a new member of MDC, Diesel who had been feuding with Kama and Bundy for a while so they weren't happy, Diesel kicked out Marty Jannetty off MDC. At Summerslam, Lawler punched Dr.Isaac Yankem(his representative) during the match against Diesel to end the match in a DQ win for Yankem but at In Your House 18, Diesel defeated Yankem for Dibiase to be reinstated into WWF.

Dibiase said he would sue Lawler, Lawler begged him not to and Dibiase challenged him to a match, if Lawler's team won he would drop the lawsuit but if MDC won, Lawler would be replaced by Dibiase as president of WWF. At Survivor Series, Diesel turned on MDC as Dr.Isaac Yankem, Jerry Lawler, Duke The Dumpster Droese and Sensei Hakushi defeated Kama, Bundy, Diesel and Sid.

## Usurpation(1995-1996)

At G1 Finals, something weird started to happen as during the main event of Owen Hart vs Undertaker, Kama and Bundy showed up on stage looking hypnotized by Taker, the next night Dibiase told Taker that he wasn't gonna turn MDC into his cult but Dibiase was getting worried about the future of MDC and how they were falling down so he paid Stunning Steve Austin to come to WWF as The Ringmaster. After weeks of teasing and Taker ruining their matches but always respecting Dibiase, Dibiase gave up and accepted Taker onto the MDC even if he didn't know what his true plans were as he was desperate to get some momentum back for the group, Taker immediatly kicked out Sid. At Royal Rumble 1996, Diesel defeated The Ringmaster to retain the IC title.

On the RAW before Wrestlemania 12, MDC ended the show as Undertaker announced that for these 8 weeks he had been trying to make MDC his cult and ever since he debuted in 1989, he's always been the leader of Dibiase's mind as he chokeslammed Dibiase and took reigns of MDC taking advantage of a hypnotized Kama and Bundy. At Wrestlemania 12, Taker was scheduled to face Diesel for the IC title but Diesel went to WCW so the match was replaced with an open challenge, Dibiase came out and said that The Ringmaster was still on his corporation but he had another person to join the revamped MDC, Brian Pillman from WCW who was also defeated by Undertaker.

At In Your House 20, Pillman and Ringmaster couldn't get along and lost to Undertaker and Mankind forcing Dibiase out of WWF
