Did You Know?
| Trivia | Around the time of this movie's release, David Arquette made a string of appearances on WCW television. In lieu of spending any of the money paid to him from WCW, David instead chose to give all of his WCW earnings to the family of deceased wrestler Brian Pillman. See more » |
| Goofs | Jimmy King is unfairly exiled from WCW for life. Given his status as a megastar wrestler, WCW's rival, and bigger promotion WWF would have accepted him in their company. The exclusion of WWF was deliberate as the film was used as a tool to increase WCW's popularity again. See more » |
