TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

At the beginning, Jace tells a kid he just met to call him Daredevil. Jace is also blind and wears red. This is, most likely, an omage to the Marvel superhero, Daredevil.

Coincidently, Alessandra Torresani who plays Mary Beth was also in an Even Stevens episode called "Luscious Lou" (2000) where she plays wrestler Mimi Nagurski.

Popular Dialogues

"John Lambrix: You don't get it, do you? This isn't just a sport for me. It's who I am! It's all I've got. Unlike you I don't do music. All right? I stink at school. I mean, you take away wrestling... I don't even know who I am. How sad is that?"

"John Lambrix: You're gonna do this thing? 'Cause I mean I can pretty much guarantee he's gonna put some serious hurt work on you. Jace: I know. John Lambrix: But you're going to show up anyway? Jace: I will if you will. John Lambrix: [Groans] Who am I kidding anyway, huh? I'm totally addicted to the glory rush."
