Everyone's got a price.
Everyone's got to pay.
'Cause the Million Dollar Man always gets his way.
After proving his point, Ted DiBiase would laugh and fan out his
large roll of hundreds, worsening the degradation of whoever had
been foolish enough to accept his challenge or get in his way.
Defeated opponents -- put to sleep with his Million Dollar Dream --
would have the added humiliation of awakening to discover that the
Million Dollar Man had been stuffing bills down their throats.
Winning match after match, yet no closer to the championship,
DiBiase wanted the title, but he couldn't seem to win it. His
solution: pay Andre the Giant to win the title, make sure the
referee was also "taken care of," and then have Andre hand the
championship title over to him.
True to his taunt, the Million Dollar Man had gotten his way, and
Ted DiBiase became the most hated person in sports entertainment.
Making his way to the top of the profession that he had loved
since he was a child, Ted DiBiase never did anything by half
measures. He couldn't, because the men he respected and worked side
by side with expected that "Iron" Mike's kid would give his all.
And each day while on the road learning what it was to be a
wrestler, Ted remembered how his father had taught him to give his
all every time. It was how his father lived -- and how he lost his
life, dying during a wrestling match while Ted was still a boy.
From the dusty roads of Texas to the bayous of Louisiana, Ted
moved from one wrestling promotion to another -- sometimes a
babyface, other times a heel. He learned how to tell a story and
how to draw the fans in, both inside and outside the ring. In 1987,
Vince McMahon had an idea for a new character, the Million Dollar
Man, and one person came to mind: Ted DiBiase. For nearly a decade,
fans waited to see just how Ted could prove his adage that
"Everyone's got a price." When he was sidelined by a neck injury,
DiBiase started a second wrestling career, as a manager. He managed
some of the biggest stars: Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy, and a
very green wrestler, the Ringmaster (who would later be known as
Stone Cold Steve Austin).
Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, is fondly remembered by
wrestling fans for his style and his command of the ring. This is
the inside glimpse of three decades inside and outside the squared
circle.
