The producers were sued in 2007 by actress-model Carmen Electra for failing to pay her contractually-agreed upon fees for hosting the show and having her name attached to the DVDs and other marketing materials. In response, NWWL owner Howard Mann revealed that he would seek damages for defamation, slander and malicious persecution. The case was eventually settled out of court.
Several of the nude women wrestlers involved with the production said years later that they were embarrassed by it and tried to distance themselves. But April Hunter said in an interview that her experiences were entirely positive. She said, "They were good to me, and I really enjoyed my time with them. It was some of the most fun I've ever had, and a definite highlight of my career." She added the company "was everything you would want in a wrestling company, except we weren't wearing clothes." The nudity wasn't unfamiliar territory for Hunter, having done nude modelling in the past, including appearing in Playboy magazine. Though she admitted she wasn't interested at first. But they kept coming back offering more and more money until she just couldn't turn it down. Next thing she knew, she was in the ring stark naked rough housing with other naked women in front of a huge crowd. But she said they kept it "classy" by cutting away the camera if the wrestlers landed weird to avoid any spread shots, though she joked the live audience and crew definitely had a clear view of them.
The creators tried other products that featured naked women, such as online gambling, before settling on nude female wrestling and launching the original Naked Women Wrestling League in 2004. The League's on-demand pay-per-view shows were broadcast in approximately 38 countries. In addition, the wrestlers have been featured posing nude or semi-nude in Penthouse, Playboy, and Maxim to promote the organization. The NWWL finally folded in 2009.
