Nashville, TN – Known by fans as “The Million Dollar Man”, Ted DiBiase made
a name as one of the original and most enduring villains of
pro-wrestling. His dynamic persona helped popularize pro-wrestling as an
entertainment empire, and thrust DiBiase into the international
spotlight. His mantra that “Everyone has a price” became
self-prophesying as his personal life quickly spun out of control.
Tomorrow, April 10, “The Price of Fame,” a
documentary chronicling the rise, the fall and the redemption of this
wrestling legend, will release on DVD after a successful theatrical and
VOD campaign. With distribution through Ocean Avenue Entertainment, “The
Price of Fame” will be available at Walmart, Lifeway and other select
retail and online outlets.
Originally
launched as a Fathom Event, “The Price of Fame” premiered on over 500
screens in November of 2017. Since that time, the film has been a top
documentary on both Amazon and iTunes, and boasts over 4.6 million
trailer views on Facebook.
A
second-generation professional wrestler, DiBiase set out to make his
own mark in the sport. His adopted father, “Iron” Mike DiBiase, was one
of the pioneers of the genre, who passed away suddenly after suffering a
heart attack in the ring when DiBiase was only fifteen. After years
traveling and building his own reputation in the emerging sport, DiBiase
was given the “Million Dollar Man” persona that exploded his personal
career as well as helped expand the sport as a whole.
Told as a father-son story, “The Price of Fame” was created by filmmaker Peter Ferriero and Ted DiBiase Jr.,
who followed his father and grandfather’s legacies and achieved his own
success in the WWE. Ted Jr. journeys through pro wrestling’s past to
try to grapple with his father’s story, and to re-ignite his own faith
and re-commit to his role as a husband and father.
“’The
Price of Fame’ shows that fame, money, power and prestige are not
what’s important in life,” said DiBiase Sr. “Devotion to family and
friends, giving of yourself to others and building strong character and
integrity – these are life’s priceless commodities, and are far more
rewarding than anything money can buy. I don’t want to be remembered as a
wrestling legend, but someone who, through much grace and mercy,
overcame many mistakes. I want to be known as a husband, father,
grandfather and friend who left a legacy of selfless love and devotion.”
“The Price of Fame” – available on DVD April 10, 2018 at retail outlets everywhere. Pre-orders are available here:
