A24 has now released sports biopic drama The Iron Claw in theaters, placing the legendary pro wrestling family – the Von Erichs – back in the spotlight. The Von Erichs were one of the most prominent and popular pro wrestling families of the 1980s due largely to the charismatic Von Erich brothers – David, Kerry, Mike, and Kevin. Over the years, they mixed it up with guys like Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, the Fabulous Freebirds, and many more. Most wrestlers who made a name for themselves by the 1990s had made an appearance in World Class Championship Wrestling, the Von Erichs’ home promotion – owned and operated by their father, Fritz Von Erich.However, the pressure of success, Fritz’s unmatched shadow, and the harsh conditions of a pro wrestling lifestyle took their toll on the Von Erich brothers to the point that only one remains. Kevin Von Erich survived the worst pain a person possibly could – losing his siblings far too early. Despite the tragedies he’s endured, Kevin carries his family’s legacy forward through his two pro wrestling sons, Marshall and Ross. From both the general quality to how well cast members such as Zac Efron bring the wrestlers to life, it’s no wonder the movie about the Von Erichs has received positive reviews. Likewise, with such an emotional core to build off, the hard-hitting studio A24 is definitely the perfect studio to tackle the Iron Claw story.World Class Championship Wrestling – or WCCW as it is commonly referred to – helped launch several prominent pro wrestling careers. Wrestlers like Michael P.S. Hayes, Terry Gordy, and “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin are just a few of the classic wrestlers who performed in WCCW. Even WWE legends “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) made appearances in the promotion early in their careers. Despite the popularity of these wrestlers, none were more popular in the Texas territory than the Von Erichs. Led by their father and veteran wrestler Fritz Von Erich, the Von Erich brothers were met with overwhelming success at an early age and struggled to keep up with the spotlight.
