‘The Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase was one of the most intriguing characters during the Hulkamania era of the WWE. However, with Hogan out of the promotion in 1993, Vince McMahon and co. were scouting the next big Superstar, or rather flag-bearer for the WWE.

Meanwhile, several young performers such as Shawn Michaels seemed to be making huge strides in the business, and it was an unusual time in the world of professional wrestling as the war between the WWE and WCW started heating up. While the Monday Night Wars ergo the television rating wars between the WWE and WCW only officially commenced on September 4th, 1995, the industry had already begun feeling the rumblings that were on the cards.

Ted DiBiase helmed the commentary desk with Vince McMahon and Dok Hendrix (Michael Hayes) on August 14th, 1995—in an episode that wasn’t very well-received by fans, largely owing to DiBiase and Hendrix not providing enough energy to the broadcast, as they seemed rather uneasy as commentators, albeit for a night. Furthermore, Hendrix aka Hayes also worked the commentary table for the December 20th, 1999 episode of RAW alongside Jim Ross.
