Best of DiBiase in the WWF vols. 1-5 complete

[Guest Corey291]

As SP, this series will probably be another 3 or 4 volumes before its finally finished, but here are the listings for the first 5 volumes (I'm about half way done with #6 as I'm writing this). I tried to include as many of DiBiase's interviews and Million$$$ Man promos as I could find. Fortunately, I was able to find just about all of them.

BEST OF TED DIBIASE IN THE WWF vol. 1 (VG - GOOD Q) 2HRS 55min

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. 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

wore their masks near the finish of the match, and these guys wore their masks for the entire time that they were out

there were different men under the masks.)
