• During the filming of some action scenes, inflatable dolls were used to play the roles of spectators.
• One of the characters is named Chancho. From Spanish, it translates as "Pig." And the character Escuelto's name translates as "Skeleton."
• Performing another combat jump into the ring, Jack Black hit a chair hard. The result – a deep wound above his right eye and several stitches.
• The working title of the project is "Toast."
• To a certain extent, the plot of the film is inspired by the story of Fray Tormenta (also known as Sergio Gutierrez Benitez), a Mexican Catholic priest who was a wrestler and used the money he earned in the ring to support an orphanage.
• The song sung by Jack Black's character was improvised.
• According to Jack Black, his stunt double Tom had never been a stuntman before. The filmmakers couldn't find a stunt double of the appropriate size and Tom happened to catch their eye completely by chance.
• Performing another dramatic entrance into the ring, Jack Black hit a chair hard. The result – a deep wound above his right eye and several stitches.
