Only three people showed up to the premiere: an extra and two movie critics.
Producers were forced to rent a theater in Baltimore to show the movie after they were unable to find a distributor.
No copies of the film are known to exist, outside of clips aired in producer Santo Rigatuso's "Santo Gold" infomercials. The original 35mm reels were put up for auction on eBay several times between 2008 and 2015 by Santo Gold themselves although never selling. In 2014 a secret showing of the film was held at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz in Austin, Texas.
The movie was heavily advertised in infomercials for producer Santo Rigatuso's "Santo Gold" mail-order jewelry business. The movie's price tag of $2 million was paid for by the proceeds from the business.
The wrestling scenes were filmed at the Baltimore Civic Center. Producers billed the event as a wrestling match and concert, and charged $9 for admission.
