Not abuse per se but Randy's relationship with his daughter is fraught and not healthy.

Just after 34 minutes, he walks to his locker and is sick onto the floor. It's at a distance, but a puddle is briefly visible.

*SPOILER*
At the end of the movie, a depressed person wrestles a match despite being told by a doctor that there’s a high probability it would kill him due to his heart condition. It’s implied that he dies however it’s left ambiguous whether or not he lives.
