News about Fritz Von Erich

Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White appear as two members of one of the most prominent (or infamous) wrestling families of all time: the Von Erichs. The Von Erich brothers, anchored by their ardent father, became the mainstays of the professional wrestling industry in the 1980s, but their professional triumphs were marred by a string of personal tragedies, leading to accusations that they were somehow cursed. Their stories seem to have more concrete explanations in real life, but whatever the reason, the tragedies were tragic nonetheless.

Jeremy Allen White is teaming up with Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson to form a trio of wrestling brothers. As shown above, the actors are set to appear in A24's "The Iron Claw" this December, in which they will appear alongside the Von Erichs, the real-life wrestling siblings. Sean Durkin wrote and directed the true-life-inspired film. According to A24, the film follows the rise and fall of the indefeparable Von Erichs, a family wrestling dynasty "who made history in the fiercely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s." "Through sadness and triumph, the brothers live under the shadow of their domineering father and mentor, they seek greater-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports."
