Fighting with My Family (2019)

Adam Flex Maxted: Wrestling Performer

Quotes 

• Hutch : To be a WWE Superstar, you have to have two things. Number one: you gotta have the skills, and number two: you have to have the spark. Now, skills, that's obvious, right? You gotta be able to wrestle. The spark, well... that's the magic dust. It's what the audience falls in love with. It's why they buy your poster. It's why they come back every week. It's why they chant your name. It's why they buy a six-inch action figure of you. Do you see yourself as a six-inch action figure?

  Wrestling Performer : Yeah, yes, I do. I see myself as WWE Champion.

  Hutch : Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Bingo, guys! That's exactly right. That's called a great attitude. And that's a big plate of yes. That's one of the biggest requirements that you have to have to be a WWE Superstar. And you don't have any of the other things. But the attitude's the one thing you're in control over and the attitude's the one thing that you have.

  [Hutch approaches Zak and Raya and points at Zak] 

  Hutch : Name?

  Zak Knight : Zak Zodiac.

  Hutch : Sounds a little bit like a dancer at a male strip club. Why do you want to wrestle?

  Zak Knight : I wanna be a wrestler because since I was three years old, I could name every single WWE wrestler just by looking at their boots. And I've wanted to be one ever since. I'm passionate, I'm determined, and... I'm the toughest bastard in any room. Including this one. Oh, probably shouldn't swear, not when there's ladies present.

  [Zak looks at a long-haired male wrestler on his left] 

  Zak Knight : Sorry, miss. Sorry about that.

  Hutch : Miss, what's your name?

  Raya Knight : Saraya. No, sorry. Britani.

  Hutch : Do you not remember your name?

  Raya Knight : No, I do. It's just they, they asked me to change it.

  Hutch : Do you remember what you changed it to?

  Raya Knight : Yeah.

  Hutch : Okay, that's good. What is it?

  Raya Knight : Uh, Paige.

  Hutch : As a wrestling name, Paige?

  Raya Knight : Yeah.

  Hutch : Paige feels a little more like she might work at the perfume counter at the mall like, "Do you want a free sample?".

  Raya Knight : No. Paige is the name of a witch from a TV show that I like.

  Hutch : So you liked the name off the show and then you took it?

  Raya Knight : Yeah.

  Hutch : Nobody's gonna pay to watch a timid little British girl wrestle.

  Raya Knight : Yeah, well, not all British girls are timid. Just like not all Americans are arrogant wankers.

  [pause] 

  Raya Knight : Just saying.

  Hutch : Why do you wanna wrestle, Paige?

  Raya Knight : Been wrestling since I was 13. My whole family wrestles.

  Hutch : But why do you wanna wrestle?

  Raya Knight : Been wrestling since I was 13. My whole family wrestles.

  Hutch : But why do you wanna wrestle?

  Raya Knight : Um... It's an escape, isn't it? From the real world. And when I'm in that ring with my family, working together, flowing together, it feels like the world just disappears. And I sort of feel like I belong somewhere.

  Hutch : She showed us her heart. And I wanna vomit.
