Its well acted and cool. If you grew up with the Von Erichs the casting is way off visually. But if not you won’t notice.

Ric Flair was terrible and the real life story was even more tragic than what the movie portrayed. Timeline is really compressed too. But regardless the wife and I both enjoyed it as a movie and less any type of documentary.

Cute and fun little movie

Decent, wasn't as good as it could have been.
The Von Erich story is pretty frickin dark so I understand cutting things, streamlining events etc. but they took it to an extreme. Most events, if there was any build at all, were built up in the scene immediately before it (David entirely off screen, Kerry in back to back scenes) which took a lot of the emotional impact out of it.

I'm a hardcore wrestling fan and I didn't care for it. The casting was plain terrible, and there are way too many historical inaccuracies for my taste. If you're a casual fan or have no knowledge of their story, you'll probably like it. Just know that it's more fiction than fact.

It was filmed in BR and the cast hung out at Twin Peaks quite a bit. Holt and Harris were super-nice guys. I met Harris one night when I was there and then a few nights later I was sitting at the bar when he came in, and he came and sat next to me and remembered my name and all. Two cool dudes.

Just watched it. It was okay. The Ric Flair impersonation was pitiful.

How often do you go to Twin Peaks?

How many more Iron Claw threads will we have this week?

Not very often, usually I go just when there's a fight I want to watch. I've only been there maybe 7 or 8 times total. My brother-in-law's family owns that location so there are some perks to it when I do go.

I enjoyed it but good lord Ric Flair was terribly miscast and horribly acted. That promo was so bad.

Was glad to see the Von Erich's get some glory. Kerry Von Erich was my childhood hero and I'd discus punch and Iron claw your arse in a heartbeat. Can't believe they left the discus punch from the Modern Day Warrior out.
Efron looked and built more like Kerry. Jeremy White should've been Kevin. Thought they cast Fritz well. Tragic story. The curse is real. Almost didn't watch it because I knew how it all ended and I like a happy ending.

I grew up in the days of Mid South Wrestling and watched it as a kid.
That being said, I couldn't make it past 15 minutes into this movie. It was just boring, and the casting was absolutely horrible.

I would not suggest watching it on a flight in which you have a ton of meetings immediately after.
That movie wrecked my day. That said, I though it was great.

All I could think about was my kids and my brother.
If you're looking for a historically accurate depiction of the Von Erichs, you may be disappointed.
But if you're looking for a movie that captures the essence of the curse and how Kevin dealt with it, then I think you'll like it
