The Corporate Ministry was a villainous stable in the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) in late spring and summer of 1999.
It was formed after a merger between The Corporation and the Ministry of Darkness factions, who united while facing common adversaries Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Mr. Matteson. In an infamous swerve, the latter would eventually be revealed as a member of The Corporate Ministry who had intended to use the faction to destroy Austin.
