Heartwarming / The Wrestler

• Randy's conversation on the pier with his daughter:
  Randy: You're my girl. You're my little girl. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me.

• During the Final match, Randy was having signs of a heart attack and Ayatollah catches wind of it, breaks character for a moment to check on him and when it's getting worse, he's practically begging for him to pin him and end it to save him.
• While fans and random people tend to treat Randy as a washed-up joke or a has-been, his fellow wrestlers revere him as an elder statesman of the ring. Popular hardcore wrestler Necro Butcher tells him it was an honor to wrestle him and a wrestler providing steroids and painkillers gives them to Randy despite knowing full well that he's unlikely to ever be able to pay for them.
• Seeing Pam (Marisa Tomei) melt when she meets Randy to buy his daughter clothes is adorable enough, but Randy asking about her son, her glowing with pride, is cute enough. But Randy gives her his action figure for her son! Even better, we see her son playing with the figure later!
• At first, Randy seems saddened at being reduced to working the deli counter at his grocery store, until his natural charisma as a performer kicks in and he starts enjoying serving the customers. By the time he's throwing orders like football passes his smile could light up a room.
