violence
There are scenes of strong wrestling violence, including impactful blows, chokeholds and body slams. These scenes are emphasised through slow motion replays. A wrestler repeatedly rams another into the wall of a steel cage, resulting in large welts on a wrestler's forehead. A group of wrestlers are shown ganging up on a single opponent. There is also use of improvised weapons, such as steel steps, dustbins, folding chairs and kendo sticks.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Scenes of moderate injury detail occur, including sight of blood on a wrestler's face and on his clothing in the aftermath of violence. During a rapidly edited montage, there is close-up focus on a wrestler's elbow injury. There is moderate bad language (‘bitch’), as well as milder terms such as 'ass', 'shit', 'God', 'damn', 'freaking' and 'hell'. In one scene, a commentator refers to a wrestler as a 'jack-off'.
