10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Nothing Without Their Managers
10. Tatanka
The above picture promotes and promises a brand new chapter in the Tatanka story, but the fact that it barely materialised on television explains why nobody really would have bought that book.
The Native American gimmick felt as passé as his credibility after losing a lengthy undefeated streak to Ludvig Borga in 1993, not least after injuries prevented the pair having a particularly satisfying blowoff to the programme before Borga's exit. More losses normalised him entirely, with his heritage the subject of his final babyface programme with IRS before Dibiase revealed their plot at Lex Luger's expense later that summer.
It could and probably should have reheated his career had Tatanka himself gone all in on abandoning the principles of the persona. Instead, he was just the old him with a snarl and the pretence of wealth thanks to the one new set of trunks he invested in at the time. Dibiase worked at it with his serviceable style, but - as was the case with several of his Million Dollar Corporation members - couldn't carry the load with a laugh.
