"The Iron Claw" is a movie that explores the tragic story of the Von Erich family, a famous wrestling family. The film aims to showcase wrestling as more than just a fake spectacle by highlighting the skill, artistry, and physical toll involved in the sport.

The Von Erich family, consisting of Fritz Von Erich and his sons Kevin, David, Kerry, and Mike, achieved great success in wrestling but also faced immense tragedy, with four of the five siblings dying between 1984 and 1993, three by suicide. The movie delves into themes of masculinity and the pressure placed on boys to conform to certain ideals.

In 2024, wrestling needs to understand takeaways from movies like "The Iron Claw" that portray the technical abilities, physical toll, and emotional struggles of wrestlers.

Its time for wrestling to be more presented with more larger than life characters with depth and real development and elevate wrestling as an art form and a craft to a level that World Class Championship Wrestling would have been proud of.
