Go Out with a Smile: After Milo's fight to stop his boss from swindling the masses, his heart gives out, and on his deathbed, he's happy to have finally had a real fight in years, and sees his recently deceased wife, smiling and proud of him, and repeats her words before passing on: "Love...is forever".
Heroic Suicide: A variant: Milo's ill wife Anna is the reason he participates in a con as a Jobber, which she sees is a huge low for a champion like him. So she stops taking her medicines to anticipate her demise, and when she dies shortly before Jonathan Garvey has a match with the other fighter involved in the scheme, a grieving Milo decides to atone for his part by exposing the con to the next victim and offering to take his place and save the money of his unsuspecting supporters.
Jerk Jock: Hans Mueller, an arrogant younger wrestler who willingly participates in the con and, unlike Milo, has no qualms about swindling others and goes out of his way to belittle and dismiss his older colleague.
Jobber: Milo's part in the con. He's not proud of it, but keeps it so he can pay for his wife's hospital bills.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Anna's appearance to Milo during his final moments might be either a Dying Dream or her spirit coming to take him to the afterlife.
Pro Wrestling Episode: It involves an old Greek-Romam champion forced to participate in a con to help his ill wife. When he does fight against the other accomplice for real in the end, he shows just why he's a true champion.
Pro Wrestling Is Real: Milo Stavroupolis may have participated in the con, but when arrogant young athlete Hans Mueller keeps taunting him and won’t shut up, Milo shows him that those “wrestling” skills can be legitimately used if needed to teach him a lesson.
Throwing the Fight: Part of the con Milo participates in. He arranges a fight with someone, loses on purpose, his boss convinces the "winner" that he can beat his champion and offers up a fight against Milo, who once again loses, convincing the challenger that he's talented enough to have a second fight against the other champion, Hans Mueller, who unlike Milo, fights to win and defeats the challenger, and then their boss swindles the bets of unsuspecting supporters. Milo is ashamed of his part in it, but keeps doing it so he can pay for his wife's medical bills.
