5: Chris Benoit in the Million Dollar Corporation

The Million Dollar Corporation seemed to be a good idea on paper but with the group consisting of Sid Vicious, King Kong Bundy and Nikolai Volkoff (apart from leader and mouthpiece Ted DiBiase), they failed to take off with none of the members bringing much in-ring prowess to the table.

One person who was seemingly in line to join the group early on was a young Chris Benoit who worked for WWE on a trial basis in the mid-90s. Benoit was led to the ring by Ted DiBiase in a number of house show appearances but in the end, they amounted to nothing.
