11 Reasons Why The Million Dollar Man Was WWE's Biggest Heel
5. He Wanted People To Think He Owned The Undertaker So He Bought A Fake Undertaker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQnUeozAL6w In what could, in retrospect, be considered one of the greatest babyface moves of all-time, DiBiase introduced the WWF to The Undertaker. At the 1990 Survivor Series, The Million Dollar Man unveiled The Dead Man as his mystery teammate. We should all be thanking the man. While DiBiase facilitated the introduction, The Undertaker and Paul Bearer were on their own after that night. The Undertaker skyrocketed to main event relevance, quickly becoming a fan favorite. At Royal Rumble 94, he challenged WWF Champion Yokozuna in a Casket Match. After interference from Diesel, Jeff Jarrett, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers, The Great Kabuki, Genichiro Tenryu, Crush, and Adam Bomb, The Undertaker was placed in the casket and not to be heard from for seven months. The first person to claim they were in touch with The Undertaker? You guessed it. Ted Classic. DiBiase claimed he was able to produce The Undertaker. Paul Bearer and fans were skeptical. Before we knew it, a match pitting DiBiases Undertaker against Paul Bearers Undertaker was set for SummerSlam. The real Undertaker and Faker-Taker went at it with Paul Bearers charge coming out on the winning end. DiBiases version of The Phenom was never heard from again, but you cant fault the man for trying.
