So after reading more about the Von Erichs and rewatching a lot of their old matches I realized they cut another part of their story but I totally get why as before the movie started in 1979 David's first marriage had just ended and he moved back home. But not only that his baby daughter had also passed from SIDS the year before. His ex-wife likely is still alive and didn't want that depicted in the movie but now I know when I re-watch it I'm going to know that really happened just like how they also cut the youngest brother Chris, David's 2nd wife Trisha, and Kerry's daughters out of the movie too. I do think if this had been a miniseries they would've told it in full so I get why they did this with the movie and how tragic it all is and how good the movie turned out but there also was more of a focus on Kevin. Plus, it changes that scene with David finding out Kevin's going to be a dad. Also have a spoilerly thought too but makes me wonder how Harris would've handled that additional storyline, same with Jeremy playing Kerry as a father too.

For those that saw the movie the ending where Kerry reunited with his brothers in heaven it made me think of how Chris would've been there too as well as David's baby daughter. It would've been even more emotional than it was. 😭

To the non wrestling fans that have watched or are going to watch The Iron Claw for the first time, make no mistake about it Fritz Von Erich loved his sons and they all loved him. Kevin Von Erich still speaks positively of his father to this day. Keep in mind he was never the same and never really learned how to cope with the loss of his first born son. Wrestling and success for himself and his family was the only way he could cope. Was he hard on his sons? Absolutely. Did he love his sons? Absolutely. It was just one heartbreaking tragedy after another. I highly recommend you watch Dark Side of the Ring: The Last of the Von Erichs to hear for yourself the real story behind the Von Erich family.

I have an announcement: As all of you know I’ve been writing about the Von Erichs. And today, I promoted Growing Up Von Erich , the podcast started by Hollie ( Kerry’s daughter ) and Kristen ( Kevin’s daughter) on X! They saw it and I got a follow back from them! This is so amazing ! I would love to be on their podcast one day! It’s a goal for me as a wrestling historian!

I'm so happy for the Von Erichs and Dustin Rhodes winning the ROH 6 man tag titles!!! 😀 First for Dustin finally getting a title belt, and then for the Von Erich family. This video of after the show went off air and seeing Marshall and Ross dedicate their win to their uncles and then give their dad Kevin the belts made me tear up so much. I can't wait to see what's next.

The Iron Claw focusing on the Von Erich family but completely leaving out one of the brothers (Chris) is actually really fucking funny to me 😂

Brian Damage Most fans are already well versed on the many tragedies of the Von Erich family throughout the years. The combination of their rock star lifestyles and the insane amount of pressure to live up to the Von Erich name certainly caught up to them. Whether it was drugs, alcohol or the desire to make their father Fritz proud…each of the Von Erich tragedies have there own story. The one…
