The media reports said that The Iron Claw offers a spellbinding emotional tale of the true yet tragic story of the Von Erich family, a legendary dynasty of professional wrestlers who dominated the sport during the early 1980s. Despite their huge success, the brothers faced a string of tragedies outside of it, giving rise to what was referred to as the Von Erich curse.
