RW597 - Wrestling Movies Rewatch - Fighting With My Family

 


In this episode of The Wrestling Movies Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan show great support for each other as they discuss Fighting With My Family.

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

Match of the Week:
Paige vs Emma

Paige vs AJ Lee

Made 41.5 million on an 11 million budget.


Like many biographical films, the film took several liberties with Paige's journey with WWE. The film had her start her WWE career performing for NXT when she actually first performed in Florida Championship Wrestling, Paige's time in NXT was kept minimal with no mention of her reign as NXT Women's Champion, and several characters were fictional, including Hutch Morgan. Additionally, Paige had previously failed a WWE tryout before being successful in another. Johnson himself never met Paige (or any of the Bevis/Knight family) until seeing the original documentary in 2012, unlike the film's fictionalized portrayal of Johnson meeting Paige and Zak backstage of a WWE event in England; Johnson himself had just returned to WWE in 2011 after a seven-year absence when Paige signed with WWE in April 2011.

Several wrestlers are featured in the film, such as Sheamus, The Miz, Big Show, and Thea Trinidad aka Zelina Vega.

Roy Knight appears in the cagematch with Zak Zodiac. The real Zak appears as the gang leader.

Tessa Blanchard was Paige’s stunt double.
