it funny when Dibiase came to WWE in 1987 i suprised they gave him the push so soon and having feud with hogan he' was lucky then at the time but he never had even won the wwe championship buying the belt it's going to make you champion. no matter dibiase will always be my favorite heel to hate as a kid and hope he does get inducted into the WWE hall of fame if not this year hopefully next year.

The greatest storyline in WWF history

rob van dam was the one who kissed his foot

Hogan should have taken the money.

The Million Dollar Man was always fresh to death in the gold trimmed suits with Virgil holding the dough...LOL He and Hogan feuding is the stuff of legends.

@shadowedge69 There is that, but it also was well known that Dusty Rhodes AKA Virgil Runnells was a racist and many people believe this was Vince's way to insult Dusty.

[shadowedge69]

What most people don't realize is that Virgil means "slave". I don't think that was a coincidence. lol

@Kilik11 yeah that's why i could never understand the story that Vince wanted to put the Title on Dibaise at WM 4...having Savage (RIP) win it in the tournement made much more sence

Ted Dibiase was partly right...he didn't get to buy the WWF world title from Hogan BUT 10 yrs later He and Hogan were on the same side as Heels in the NWO...took 10 yrs but Hogan had his price.

@lildwayne21  Storyline was great - but almost an exact duplicate of what Larry Zybysko did w? Killer Tim Brooks for the Georgia Nat.Title (83). The big diff is that when Brooks sold the belt - Zybysko was stripped but won the tourney (DiBiase was originally planned to). Original storylines: Austin/McMahon rivalry (anti-hero vs. boss), the lengthy way Kane was introduced & feuded w/ UT, HHH marrying Stephanie, Michaels/Ramon dual I-C champs/ladder match - they weren't exact ripoff storylines

"All those little teeny Hulksters that, mentally, aren't right on the money..."

By turning down the Million Dollar Man, Hulk Hogan set back the efforts to help the mentally handicapped.

Sad.

@RMilvae No. Andre may have surrendered the title, but it was an illegal surrender. Therefore (at that time) the WWF President (on screen) had every right to vacate the title setting the stage at WrestleMania IV. As far as DiBiase being a former WWF Champion, again the answer is no, but then again, according to the rules (stated by the WWF President), neither was Hogan or Andre.
