Seeing the 'Million Dollar Man' return as part of WWE's Raw 25 celebrations was a nice bonus for old-school fans who recall the character's glory days. Who could ever forget Ted DiBiase getting a young Rob Van Dam to kiss his feet (that actually happened) or those timeless introductory vignettes?

One of the best segments DiBiase was ever involved in had him telling some kid to bounce a basketball 10 times for $500. Right before the boy managed it, Ted booted the ball away and laughed in his face. What a heel. Backstage, the WWF were nice to the child's family, and DiBiase never thought he'd see young Sean again.

He was wrong.

Find out what happened when DiBiase bumped into the same kid he had worked with years before in this week's article. Other facts included look at everyone from Scott Hall, AJ Styles and JBL to The Undertaker, X-Pac and James Ellsworth...

10. Y2J Would Rib Big Cass About James Ellsworth & Carmella

News flash: Chris Jericho is one of wrestling's biggest tricksters.

When interviewing James Ellsworth on a recent edition of his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Y2J couldn't resist telling his chinless guest that he'd continually rib Big Cass about Ellsworth being with his girl, Carmella, over on SmackDown. According to Jericho, Cass would start off laughing along but eventually end up getting hot about it.

Every time he'd see the guy, Jericho would ask Cass if Ellsworth managed to get Carmella back to her hotel room that night, or if he was happy another man was spending so much time with his lady. Ellsworth found this hilarious, even more so because Cass was powerless to do anything about it.

Nothing was going on, obviously. That makes it even funnier that Y2J would arrive at a building and immediately seek Cass out so he could wind him up about another dude running around with his girlfriend.
