The movie about “The Million Dollar Man: Ted DiBiase will be in theaters tomorrow, November 7th, one night only.

A Film by Peter Ferriero & Ted DiBiase Jr.

‘A Story of Redemption’

The Price of Fame is the story of professional wrestling legend ‘The Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase.In the 1980’s sports entertainment was becoming what the world was watching on Saturday mornings and on some Saturday nights. At the forefront of this was a character that knew that ‘Everybody Has a Price’. DiBiase along with his bodyguard Virgil took over the wrestling world. At the height of this character’s wrestling fame he had held multiple championships, including one that he bought!

However, backstage, the greatest wrestling match Ted DiBiase was having was with himself. He was a devoted family man, a pillar of his community, and a man who had faith. On the other side was a man that was ‘living the life’. He defined ‘Sex, Drugs and Professional Wrestling.’DiBiase was one of the most successful in his industry. He had amassed great fame and money, as well as a fictitious sense of reality. On one night after being out on the town all of this debauchery came to a head as his wife, Melanie, discovered her husband was not the man he claimed to be.

Knowing the values his father instilled in him, the commitment he was breaking,the role model he was failing to be and the person he had become, Ted DiBiase fought for his redemption. The Price Of Fame is told through the eyes of Ted’s son, former WWE Superstar, Ted DiBiase Jr. He journeys through pro wrestling’s past to find his father’s story and to find his own faith all over again.

Alberto El Patron came out  to the ring and says he’s back in Impact Wrestling. He says something is wrong though, and he wants to give a history lesson. Ever since he started with the company, people in the back initially said he’s amazing and after giving his heart and soul to the company and to the fans, the cowards in the back ended up screwing him. He says instead of sticking to the facts with his incident, they listened to reports on the internet and took his title away from him. Alberto continued that nobody cared about his side or his family, nobody came to check on him. Alberto says he’s going to do something later tonight, it’s a strange vague promo that’s been thrown out there. He then calls Jeremy Borash a backstabber for comments he said previously. Alberto slowly heads toward commentary, wondering why he never called him. Alberto gets up in his face, Borash says he didn’t call or text and he apologizes. Alberto puts out his hand and Borash shakes it. Alberto says he came to Canada to make a statement and he’s going to make that statement with Borash. Teasing a beat down, he then changes his mind and says tonight is going to be amazing, heading to the back.
