Synopsis

The story of a pro wrestling family trying to shake off their curse and make history

The Von Erich family is known as a dynasty. This family of professional wrestlers has dominated the ring from the 1960s onward. They are known for their signature move - the iron claw wrestling hold. In the 1980s, the Von Erich brothers were looking to make their own mark on the sport. But before beating any contender in the ring, they must survive their belligerent father and coach.
