Here's the listings of the Ted DiBiase comp:

 

TAPE 1170 HISTORY OF TED DIBIASE IN THE WWF vol. 1"THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN" (VG - GOOD Q) 6HRS 17min

THE EARLY WWF YEARS

1. Ted DiBiase v. Pat Patterson (Pat Patterson is defending the Intercontinental Title - 1979)

Interesting note here: Pat Patterson was the first Intercontinental Champion, while DiBiase entered the WWF as the

North American Champion. On 9/79, Patterson defeated DiBiase for the NA title. The weird thing, is that While DiBiase is not, and

HAS NEVER been acknowledged by the WWF as a former IC champion (or North American Champion for that matter), Vince

McMahon himself doing commentary references DiBiase losing the title to Patterson in a previous match.

2. Ted DiBiase v. Jimmy Valiant (WWF TV 1979 - good quality)

ENTER THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN!

3. Ted DiBiase v. The Junkyard Dog (Ted offers JYD $500 to take the night off, but JYD snatches the money and hands it out to

the people in the audience! Madison Square Garden [MSG] 9/18/87)

4. Ted DiBiase v. Ivan Putski (DiBiase gets a clean pin with one of the best powerslams in the business! msg 11/24/87)

5. Ted DiBiase kicks his "Million Dollar Man- Gimmick into high gear with his famous skit where he best a kid from the audience

$100.00 that he can't bounce a basketball 15 times. Ted kicks the ball away at 14. PRICELESS! (WWF TV December 1987)

6. Ted DiBiase declares his catch phrase "Everyone has a price for the Million Dollar Man-, and attempts to buy the WWF Title

from Hulk Hogan. Hogan isn't impressed. (WWF TV 12/87)

13. Ted DiBiase v. Jake Roberts (Philadelphia Spectrum 1/9/88 )

14. Ted DiBiase & Virgil v. Hulk Hogan & Bamm Bamm Bigelow (MSG 1/25/88)

15. Ted DiBiase v. Hulk Hogan Hogan (Hogan was still WWF Champ at this time, so this match probably took place in late 1987 or

January of 1988 )

16. Ted DiBiase secures the services of Andre the Giant and sends him out to win the WWF Title from Hulk Hogan

17. Hulk Hogan v. Andre the Giant (With the help of a corrupt referee, ANDRE WINS THE WWF TITLE! Andre then hands over

The title to Ted DiBiase! SNME 2/5/88)

18. Ted DiBiase & Andre the Giant v. Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow (RARE MATCH, as Ted DiBiase is introduced as the

New WWF Champion! I think this is the only match with DiBiase as champion before he was stripped of the title. Boston 2/22/88 )

13. Ted DiBiase v. "The Rock- Don Muraco (Muraco was so much better as a heel. Second round of the tournamtne - WM4)

14. Ted DiBiase v. Savage (Another very good match. Savage wins the WWF Title - WM 4)

(Interesting story here, as Savage was supposed to win the Intercontinental Title from the Honkytonk Man at the 2/5/88 Main Event

TV special. HTM however, complained about doing the job to Savage and threatened to jump ship to the NWA with the IC title still

in his possession. McMahon relented and changed the script to allow HTM to keep the title, but when Savage heard about this, he

promised to SHOOT on HTM during the show which was to be broadcast LIVE! In order to avert a surefire disaster, McMahon

promised Savage the World Title at Wrestlemania 4, which was supposed to be won by DiBiase. Good thing DiBiase didn't get upset

huh?)

27. Ted DiBiase v. Hercules (SNME - 2/3/89)

28. Ted DiBiase v. Hogan (lumberjack match - The commentators discuss this match as if Hogan is still champion, but the actual

match had to have occurred after Hogan had lost the title. First of all, Hogan didn't come out with the WWF Title. Second,

among the various Lumberjacks, were the masked Killer Bees (working as HEELS no less.) The Bees only wore their masks

near the finish of the match, and these guys wore their masks for the entire time that they were out there. This was probably

because B.Brian Blair had already left the WWF, and they didn't want to acknowledge that there were different men under the

masks. And since Blair left the promotion after)

I hope the Jake Roberts one is this big

[Guest Corey291]

It should be. Jake was in the WWF a good 2 years earlier than DiBiase was.
