What happens when you put a millionaire with a tax man? You get Money Incorporated, one of the finest heel tag teams of the early 90s WWF. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase found the perfect partner in IRS, a man who could write off Dibiase's spending habits as business expenses. It really seemed like the gimmicks of The Million Dollar Man and IRS were made for eachother.
While Ted Dibiase was already a succesful superstar towards the end of 1991, Mike Rotunda had just made his return to the World Wrestling Federation after spending some time in WCW. Rotunda had previously worked in the WWF as part of the US Express tag team, but it was his run as Irwin R. Schyster that was more memorable. I.R.S vowed to make superstars and fans alike pay their taxes, and this money orientated gimmick definitely paired up well with The Million Dollar Man's character. With Jimmy Hart as their manager, Money Inc went on to win the WWF Tag Team titles multiple times but curiously, most of their title matches were not televised.
This video looks at the complete run of Money Inc featuring WWF taxman IRS and The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Topics and matches covered include:
00:00 - Ted Dibiase and Mike Rotunda before Money Inc.
05:32 - Money Inc become Tag Team Champions
09:09 - The Legion of Doom and The Nasty Boys
10:54 - Money Inc. vs The Mega Maniacs at WrestleMania IX
13:18 - Money Inc's final matches
14:54 - The Million Dollar Corporation
- Much More!

Mike Rotunda. Severely underrated.

Ted Dibiase is a classic example of a wrestler I hated when I was a little boy but absolutely love as an adult.

Money inc also had a big match against Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior on Saturday Night's Main Event in 92! Setup match for Survivor Series!

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

I remember seeing that match as a kid, it was the first time i had seen Warrior in what seemed like a long while....🤔 Was that the one where he had the singlet like the kind Rob Van Dam wore but with a brick wall airbrushed on it?

[@muhyee294]

That match is on the warrior blur ray, and yes that is when warrior started wearing singlet.

[@MrReganomics1]

Remember when IRS repossessed the undertaker parent's headstone 😂😂

[@yourefriendlyneighborhoodbuddy]

Never understood why they needed Jimmy....ted himself was a walking promo

[@djm5687]

At the time, "heel" wrestlers usually relied on managers to do their promos.

[@My19812011]

Think it was more to get the screwy victories with Jimmy Hart distracting a ref or something along those lines.

[@michaelsmith5769]

@@My19812011 Right. They were always escaping title matches by DQ or count outs.

[@dalecowles3406]

I think a other reason was the whole title shot it was done just for money inc. it was the best way to give them a shot at the tag titles.

[@yoshikitakaya7871]

[@philmcginlay4256]

We NEED that Million Dollar Man/C.R.E.A.M. remix in full. Absolutely incredible.

[@thecharmcityplayerbrandona8827]

It's weird that Ted DiBiase never became a singles champion because I think he would have done excellent if he was an Intercontinental Champion

[@midniteryder_3-16]

Wouldn’t put it pass him to customize it 2 some expensive looking ic belt.

[@jediknightgeo]

Nah. If anything DiBiase should have had a World Title run and Rotunda should have had an Intercontinental Title run. Both guys were very good and both deserved getting each respective strap at some point in their singles career.

[@jonmolina948]

Ted bought the WWF title. He paid off Andre and Earl Hebner. Didn’t break a sweat.

[@schizzo8959]

Why would someone like Dibiase in Kayfabe go for anything other than the big one?

[@jlover911]

honky tonk didnt think so…. he ready for the world championship

[@thepalatrpro]

Greg Valentine looks like a high school lunch lady serving heaping spoonfuls of overly bland beef stew.

[@RazorChampion99]

Also, small thing to note but I love their version of the World Tag Team Titles. Much like the British Bulldogs' version which was nickel or silver and had different side plates, Money Inc. had a slightly modified version which was identical to the original design at the time, except the globe in the centre plate had a darker shade of grey-ish blue and the "World" lettering was painted in black instead of red. The Natural Disasters also held this version of the belts before it was changed back to its original familiar design during their reign.

[@2126beatz]

Good spot💯. I preferred that version of the tag belts in 1992. It went back to the red "world" version in mid 1993 though. I'm not sure of the reason for this, maybe something to do with LOD. As soon as money Inc became champions in Feb 1992 the new look tag team titles were introduced.

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Money Inc. carried different variants of the belts for each reign: 1) First reign, Black lettering and blue globe. 2) Second reign (longest at 250+ days), Black lettering, black globe, 3) Third (and shortest) reign, Red letters, blue globe.

[@candoentertainment9118]

One of my favorites. The gimmicks just fit together so well. Plus they were both great in the ring.

[@btbucks]

They should have had IRS turn on The Million Dollar Man by auditing him.

[@Scotify25]

[@darthconquest1046]

Where can this cover of the Million Dollar Man's theme be found? Its awesome!

[@robertcapet9132]

Mike Rotunda is super, criminally underrated and should be in the HoF. IRS was his best gimmick perhaps. And he was under-utilized even if Money Inc. was super dominant holding the Tag Team titles for 14.5 months out of the 18 months they were a team. IRS absolutely should have had the Intercontinental Championship at least once somewhere in that 91-95 run. Rotunda was a tier above some of the lame heals that held that title in-between those Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels/Razor Ramon periods. He was the real deal, a former NCAA conference champion at Syracuse who had strength, speed, agility and skill. A superb technical wrestler, probably second only to Bret Hart at the time in the WWF. Between WWF and WCW he was 6x Tag-Team champ and 3x TV Champion. He may not have been in the top tier of stars, but he as perhaps the greatest wrestler of the second tier. He was also an excellent producer. Plus his raised two excellent wrestlers in Bo Dallas Bray Wyatt.

[@phillyblackett1443]

[@just_gut]

I can't pick a specific best, because I think different eras required different skill sets from their best heels, but Ted DiBiase is my top 80's-early 90's heel, for sure.

Money Inc. and Natural Disasters! Great teams from my youth.

[@urbanbeliever8528]

Money Inc was my favorite tag team of all time! I love how hated they were by tge fans and how they held onto their tag team titles for several months by outsmarting their opponents (some of whom were several hundred pounds larger than them) through cheating their butts off or getting themselves intentionally DQed or counted out. Thanks for making this video!

As a big fan of Money Inc. I clicked this straight away, another great upload Although one point I will point out is DiBiase returned to the WWF in January 1994 at the Royal Rumble, he would commentate and make appearances on TV until The Corporation was born in May of the same year

So...Dibiase was responsible for turning Hercules and Big Boss Man into faces during singles competition. He THEN was part of Money Inc to turn the Natural Disasters and the Nasty Boys(?!) into faces too. He even turned Jimmy Hart face after their attack on Beefcake. THAT is a great villain, when you are so despicable, you turn other villains into heroes.
