This is a "Wild Mass Guess" entry, where we pull out all the sanity stops on theorizing. The regular entry on this topic is elsewhere. Please see this programme note.

The Wrestler

The final frames are...

Randy leaping to his death. The entire movie is about him losing everything but wrestling. His heart is then trying to take that away from him, too. The final match is even with his rival from his peak. His heart starts failing near the end of the match, but he does his big finishing move anyway. From a medical perspective, it's inevitable. From a storytelling perspective, it's poetic.
- That's not really a guess so much as heavily implied.

There will be a sequel.

And it will involve Randy 'The Ram' fighting through the river Styx to find his way to Valhalla, where a badass like him belongs. 'Ramjam' will become an anthromorphic ram companion, and it will be voiced by Chris Tucker. It will have a soundtrack with Quiet Riot, Motorhead and Manowar. And it will be the worst and greatest thing to ever exist. Fo' sho', mang.
