5 WWE Superstars who nearly joined major stables

#2 Chris Benoit – The Million Dollar Corporation

The Canadian nearly made it in WWE in 1995.

We all know that Ted DiBiase is rich, so when the Million Dollar Man stepped away from the ring, it was only a matter of time before the affluent Superstar made his presence known again. Now a manager, DiBiase formed the Million Dollar Corporation, buying out contracts of the largest Superstars to compete on his behalf.

But in 1995, the company decided they didn’t want just large guys in the stable, and almost decided on having Chris Benoit join the team. A technical wizard, Benoit was very different than other members, which included Bam Bam Bigelow, King Kong Bundy and Psycho Sid.

Appearing with DiBiase in dark matches, Benoit impressed many people, though the company decided not to hire him. Instead, Benoit would eventually join with the Radicalz in 2000 and would capture the World Heavyweight Championship four years later.
