11 Reasons Why The Million Dollar Man Was WWE's Biggest Heel
9. He Paid A Jobber To Wrestle For Him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZqa5cD88Q4 Yup. He once paid a guy to wrestle in his place. After deciding his opponent was just a preliminary bum and not worth sweating for, DiBiase paid $5,000 to an unknown, wide-eyed wrestler named Mr. Washington to do his work for him. Virgil handed over the money and the job was his. Unfortunately, things didnt go so well for Mr. Washington. He lost the contest to another unknown named Chris Curtis, who probably never won another match on WWF TV. A devastating backbreaker is all it took to put the cash-grabbing youngster away. It wasnt a wise investment on the part of The Million Dollar Man. To make matters worse, Washington was held by Virgil and repeatedly slapped around by DiBiase before suffering an old school beat-down, complete with Ted spitting on him for good measure. Oh yeah, Ted also took back his $5,000.
