Quotes
[Raya and Zak follow Hutch out of the arena]
Raya Knight:
You have to take my brother.
Hutch:
Excuse me?
Raya Knight:
No one deserves this more than Zak. Why didn't you pick him?
Hutch:
99% of the people don't get picked.
Raya Knight:
He was running rings around those other guys!
Hutch:
We're not looking for ring runners.
Raya Knight:
No, wait! You have to explain why you didn't pick him.
Hutch:
I don't have to explain anything. I wish you the best, son. But this is the end of the line for you.
Raya Knight:
If he's not going, neither am I.

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 »

Typical feel good film, made in the best of British style
At first glance this film is a very British film and watching it I thought would American film goers even go to see it because it is very British, the humour, the accents, the houses but at the end of the film I actually realised the most important thing, something that isn't even being used for the promotion of this feel good film, it's actually a true story!
Yes an underdog from Norwich did win the Diva WWE championship belt, not once but twice!
Typical feel good film, made in the best of British style and Dwayne The Rock Johnson producing!
I will admit I was pleasantly surprised by this film and actually laughed out loud at a few of the British jokes included, because of this I now will have to eat my words and take back what I said at the start of this review, yes this appeals to British film goers and yes it will certainly appeal to American film goers also, good call Steven Merchant
