These entries at this stage are going to come from the same era of the WWF, a time when colorful characters did unique, memorable things in and out of the ring to really stand out.

“The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase is easily one of the most despicable heels of his time, with his “Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous”-esque vignettes and offers to the crowd to win money. DiBiase also was known for celebrating his wins against jobbers by taking a $100 bill and stuffing it down his passed-out opponent’s throat, leaving them a bit richer, but with a worse won-loss record.

And though most of his challenges to fans came in non-wrestling segments, one infamous one came after a DiBiase win. The Million Dollar Man offered a fan $100 to come into the ring and kiss his bare, sweaty foot, which the fan did.

Years later, we learned the identity of that young fan – none other than Rob Van Dam.
