** Just before the end credits, a caption comes up informing the viewer of the tragic accident that befell Darrin Drozdov during his match with D'lo Brown in which a botched powerbomb left him paralyzed. This happened ''three weeks'' after the movie was finished. A particularly sad piece of the caption says "He is currently in physical rehabilitation and hopes to one day walk again". Almost twenty years later, he still has not regained the use of his legs.

*** As of 2016, Jake is now in regular contact with his daughter, Brandy, and the rest of his children and grandchildren since getting sober.



*** A sudden, sharp one when Barry brings by the footage of the above-mentioned reaction shots, a sort of HeelRealization for Mick, "I don't feel like such a good Dad anymore."

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Roland Alexander's portrayal in the film was not flattering at all, but aspiring wrestlers still flock to APW. During an interview with ColtCabana, Alexander said he should probably thank Blaustein for the exposure.

Made worse by his assurances beforehand that The Rock wouldn't do anything to hurt Daddy... sure didn't look like it to us (and them). Intercut are shots of the family having fun, set to [[BenEKing Stand By Me]], only increasing the effect.
