The Million Dollar Corporation

[alexxx]

Does any remeber the whole group formed ? was any lead ups on Ted DiBiase buying his members?

[Raine]

The only thing I enjoyed about the M$C was the Luger/Tatanka swerve at Summerslam 94. Everyone thought Luger had sold out, when it was Tatanka (who was pointing the finger) all along, a well executed angle.

Members :
Bam Bam Bigelow
King Kong Bundy
Sid
Nikolai Volkoff
I.R.S
123 Kid
Tatanka
Fake Undertaker

its groups like this that made me turn in to WWF.

its a pity this faction didnt have "oomph"to it.IMO they were pretty flat.....great roster and all but lacked real menace.

[koreygunz]

I always thought the Tatanka heel turn was one of the more underrated heel turns in history. Very well done angle.

I always thought the MDC could have been a more legit, main event stable, especially with Ted Dibiase as its leader. Aside from Sid, it never seemed to gain the momentum needed to be a main event player, and the line up changed frequently. Though the turn was well executed, I didnt think Tatanka fit in the group. Volkoff was OK in his lackey roles, but I thought it made the group seem cartoony. I think a line up of Sid, Bigelow, 123 Kid, and IRS, with Ted as manager, all at one time could have been a solid combo (main eventers in Sid and possibly Bigelow, solid mid carder in IRS, and a cocky up and comer in Kid)

wasnt Kama "the supreme fighting machine"also a member?

[jeffro2000]

Remeber Nickel and Dime Volkoff. The goup just never took off as others stated. Liked the Tatanka turn. Actually watched it recently as I have only watched the Owen/Bret cage match once live on PPV until then.

[Deleted]

another thing is the MDC had hardly any main event/championship feuds.....those were all tied up with camp Cornette when you think about it.

[Raine]

Kama was also a member yes Joker. Is the Ringmaster considered a member?

I wrote that list off the top of my head. Not bad seeing as they were formed 17 years ago. And they say I'm losing it lol. Never !

[apollocreed]

I loved the cent sign that Volkoff wore lol

[jason1980s]

I would consider Ringmaster and Xanta Klaus members although the actual corporation was finished by that point. Maybe even right after Bam Bam left, Bundy was gone by not acknowledged until a magazine around November. Volkoff was gone around Wrestlemania. IRS left for WCW during the Summer. Kid and Sid were a team, not for long though, maybe even broke up before Ringmaster just got started. Not really a corporation with only two members.
Kama and Tatanka had been off TV for months but returned during the Royal Rumble. Tatanka stuck around for a month or two, wrestler Jake Roberts on a pre-show In Your House and maybe teamed with Kid but really didn't make an impact. I remember Kama being listed as receiving his release from the company in a March 1996 magazine.

I always thought Ted Dibiase was one of the most underated wrestlers and managers in wrestling as a wrestler he should have been world champion and as a manager he should of gotten bigger more main event feuds against his stable of guys in the WWE, His WCW managing career was horrible especially his last job as a face managing the Steiner Brothers.
I'm hoping he'll return to manage his sons in the WWE at some point.

How was King Kong Bundy brought in to it? as was away over 5 years or more

[Deleted]

The Supreme Fighting Machine Kama was quality , M$C was a good group in the WWF around the time of rumble 95 etc ,, awesome

[Deleted]

was just watching some stuff from 95 and 96........M$C were second stringers to Cornettes guys all the way

EXCEPT the Undertakers return.

[mikey1974]

thing is,they WERE in some pretty high-profile matches/feuds in 1994 - 1995....

Fake Taker vs Undertaker
Bam Bam and Tatanka vs 123 Kid and Bob Holly for the vacant Tag Title
King Kong Bundy vs Undertaker
Bam Bam vs Lawrence Taylor ( WM XI main event!)
Sid and Tatanka vs Diesel and Bam Bam
Sid vs Diesel for the WWF Title
Kama vs Undertaker
123 Kid vs Razor Ramon

...and they LOST every single one of em! that's why the Corporation is always though of badly....they had all this ammassed talent at various times and it felt like they never accomplished anything....closest thing to a "successful" feud they had was Tatanka's turn on Luger...

[Jimmy]

terrible stable.

I have to respectfully disagree. Tatanka just ran around saying Lex Luger was going to join the M$M's Corporation. I think everyone and their mothers knew that it would end up with Tatanka turning heel and joining.

It may have been acknowledge on TV but I remember his return being hyped in WWF magazine. The first time they had a sillouette that older fans could tell was Bundy with a write-up for fans to guess who the returning star would be. Then the next month had a big feature on Bundy like his cage match and team with Studd. A year later the magazine had a send off to his retiring from WWF. I never liked how stars would get hyped only to leave shortly thereafter. Like Brakkus was hyped several times on TV only to really never even make it.

I remember being straight up shocked when Tatanka turned. I was like 10 or so and my jaw hit the floor
