The film contains no LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. It remains strictly confined to the hyper-masculine environment of professional wrestling, offering no engagement with queer identities.

The narrative focuses almost exclusively on a male-dominated industry. It reinforces conventional masculine archetypes of strength and stoicism while lacking female agency or presence.

Performers from various ethnic backgrounds appear, reflecting the globalized wrestling industry. However, the lens remains fixed on the journey of a white, Anglo-Saxon protagonist.

The film explores the tension between individual ethics and corporate power. The 'Montreal Screwjob' serves as a critique of institutional corruption and capitalist structures.

Physical injuries are treated as occupational hazards rather than explorations of disability. The film lacks characters with visible or invisible disabilities portrayed with agency.
