What’s in it?

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild profanity consistent with a PG-13 drama.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

Any romantic material appears minor and peripheral to the sports and family story, with no indication that dating or kissing is a major focus.

Why this rating?

Substance use is not a focus. If present in background adult situations, it appears limited rather than central or glamorized.

Violence3/5

Wrestling matches involve repeated physical grappling, takedowns, exertion, and competitive aggression, but the violence is sports-related rather than criminal.
