Did You Know?

Trivia

While Hutch is a fictional character, he is mentioned by Dwayne Johnson as having fallen 30 feet off a steel cage just to make Johnson look good. This may be a reference to wrestler Mick Foley, who was famous for performing such stunts in the ring. In addition, Johnson nicknames Hutch "Sex Tape", which may be a jab on Paige's leaked sex video in 2018. See more »

Goofs

During Paige's WWE Championship match, at the 1 hour 39 minute mark, an audience member is shown with an Apple Watch. Apple Watches were not debuted until 1 year later to that date. See more »

Quotes

Raya Knight: I don't want to be a thousand miles away! I have no idea who I'm supposed to be!

Crazy Credits

The scenes over the end credits come from the 2012 UK Channel 4 documentary 'The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family'. This is supposedly the documentary The Rock saw that got him interested in producing a film about Paige's story. See more »

Alternate Versions

In order to obtain a PG-13 rating in the US, some swearing was edited out of the film. The Blu-ray included an R-rated 'director's cut' which restores the edits. See more »

Made me laugh
21 February 2019 | by nathanmansonSee all my reviews

The film was hilarious and it made me laugh constantly, I'm not familiar with the true story so I can't talk about that but I went to the cinema to watch a film that would make me laugh and it did just that.
