The Von Erich Family is a legendary wrestling dynasty that has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling. The story of the Von Erichs is a tale of triumph and tragedy, marked by remarkable athletic achievements and heartbreaking personal losses.
Founded by Fritz Von Erich the family’s wrestling legacy began to take shape in the 1950s. Fritz was a formidable wrestler in his own right and became a prominent figure in the Texas wrestling scene. He trained his sons, including Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris, in the art of professional wrestling; all of which are represented in the Iron Claw film.
The Von Erich brothers went on to become major stars in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), captivating audiences with their charisma, athleticism, and wholesome image. Their story is a captivating one, but it is also quite tragic.
The Von Erich Family is also marred by a series of devastating losses. We will not spoil the story, but it could be a tear-jerker for many movie-goers.
