This week, Ocean Murff and Jim Pullen discuss the recently released "The Iron Claw," which tells the story of the Von Erich wrestling family. The movie, starring Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich and Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich, explores the dark and dysfunctional dynamics within the family.
The Von Erichs were a prominent wrestling family in the 1960s through the 1980s, primarily associated with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) based in Atlanta. The family patriarch, Fritz Von Erich, was a big “motto” guy: if they were the toughest, strongest, and most successful kids, nothing could ever hurt them. This mantra became a driving force for the brothers, particularly Kevin and Kerry, as they pursued their wrestling careers.
The family was plagued by tragedy, and the film delves into the personal struggles and misfortunes that befell it, highlighting the contrast between their public success and private turmoil.
"The Iron Claw" offers a glimpse into the complex world of professional wrestling and the personal lives of one of its most iconic families. The film's exploration of the Von Erichs' trials and triumphs provides a thought-provoking look at the price of fame and the enduring bonds of family.
