– Below is video of Christy St. Cloud interviewing Hideo Itami before this week’s WWE NXT episode. Christy asks if Itami bit off more than he can chew when he attacked Aleister Black in the parking lot after last week’s show. Itami says Black is the one who bit off more than he can chew when he kicked Itami in the middle of the ring last week. As noted, Itami vs. Black will take place at NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn III” during SummerSlam weekend later this month.

And I can't wait to sit front row and see him slap that mouth right off your face!👋🏽👌🏽No one gives & inspires as much as that man does. N

The Price of Fameโ Explores Life of Professional Wrestling Legend Ted โMillion Dollar Manโ DiBiase Outside the Ring, in U.S. Cinemas November 7 Only
The Inspirational Journey of the Iconic 1975-1994 WWF Villain Hits the Big Screen, Including a Panel Discussion and Q&A with DiBiase and Other Wrestling Greats
DENVER–Ted DiBiase is known by scores of fans as the โMillion Dollar Manโ โ the larger-than-life character that helped launch pro-wrestling into the international spotlight and one of the greatest villains in pro-wrestling history. But the price of fame took DiBiase away from his family into an egocentric world of self-fulfillment and desire, where he spiraled out of control. In the documentary, โThe Price of Fame: The Story of Ted โMillion Dollar Manโ DiBiase,โ audiences will witness DiBiaseโs story and learn about his inspiring search for meaning, which changed him from a self-absorbed, jet-setting wrestler into a devoted Christian, family man and ordained minister.
Fathom Events and Engage Media Partners present โThe Price of Fameโ in U.S. cinemas for special one-night event on Tuesday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. local time.
Tickets for โThe Price of Fame: The Story of Ted โMillion Dollar Manโ DiBiaseโ can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 600 select movie theaters through Fathomโs Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).
โโThe Price of Fameโ shows that fame, money, power and prestige are not whatโs really important in life. Devotion to family and friends, giving of yourself to others and building strong character and integrity โ these are lifeโs priceless commodities, and are far more rewarding than anything money can buy,โ said DiBiase. โAlthough I appreciate my time in wrestling, I donโt 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.โ
Peter Ferrieroโs directorial debut will undoubtedly stir nostalgia in wrestling fans everywhere, as โThe Price of Fameโ explores the life of DiBiase and his family, from his pro-wrestling father to his pro-wrestling son. They built a legacy in the ring, but their lasting impact will be felt for generations outside of that ring. Audiences will discover what the price of fame was for DiBiase, and the priceless faith he found that changed everything.
โThereโs no doubt that professional wrestling has made an impact on the world, particularly during its huge rise in the โ80s,โ Fathom Events VP of Programming Kymberli Frueh said. โDiBiaseโs story encompasses fame, fortune, faith and family, and begs the question, โIs the price of fame worth it all?โโ
โEngage Media Partners is excited to join forces with Peter Ferriero in his directorial debut to bring the story of Ted โMillion Dollar Manโ DiBiase to life!โ said Jason Ellerbrook of Engage Media Partners. โThis historical account of the rise of professional wrestling through the eyes of the DiBiases provides a โbehind the curtainโ look that pro-wrestling fans have been waiting for. It also delivers a transformational message of life, love and hope that will encourage all viewers to never give up!โ
