Legends of the squared circle the Von Erichs hit the silver screen
Few names in professional wrestling history – especially in the state of Texas – are treated with quite so much reverence and sadness as Von Erich.
At the family home in Dallas, they were the Adkisson family, but in the squared circle they were feared and loved in equal measures. Patriarch Fritz Von Erich was a legendary heel or villain, but his five wrestling sons – David, Mike, Kerry, Chris, and David – were adored by millions, the heart and soul of World Class Championship Wrestling and seemingly set for global success.
Eagle-eyed wrestling fans may also recognize a few other famous faces from the time when the Von Erich's packed the Sportatorium, with Aaron Dean Eisenberg as"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, and stunt performer and professional wrestler Brady Pierce as Michael Hayes, part of the Fabulous Freebirds with whom the Von Erichs had some of their most legendary matches.
However, Pierce is not the only wrestler in the roster, and there are a lot of Texas connections in those names. Not seen in the trailer but announced in the cast are Chavo Guerrero Jr. as the Sheik. Also in the cast are not one but two former champions of Austin-based Inspire Pro Wrestling: Mike Dell, who appears as one of those all-important referees, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF.
