11 Reasons Why The Million Dollar Man Was WWE's Biggest Heel
3. He Paid A Man To Get Plastic Surgery To Look Like Dave Hebner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_kYNNs2nYLA#t=442 Yes, I know. The alternate referee in the WWF Championship match between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant on The Main Event was Dave Hebners twin brother Earl. In Kayfabe Land, the crooked referee who counted Hulk Hogans shoulders to the mat to award the title to Andre and ultimately DiBiase was a man who was paid to get plastic surgery to look exactly like referee Dave Hebner. You read that correctly. The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase found a human being who was willing to undergo extensive plastic surgery to look like a short, middle-aged, jowly wrestling referee. All that so he could be handed a title he couldnt win on his own. Thats actually kind of amazing. There arent even villains in action movies willing to go that far. When the plan was exposed, WWF President Jack Tunney stripped DiBiase of the WWF Championship and declared it vacant. Either way, The Million Dollar Man spoiled the biggest match on the highest rated wrestling program in television history.
