Grew Up watching wrestling wccw was my second fav behind WWF.Very Sad story heard Zac Efron was great as Kevin Von Erich. Prob wont watch the movie. The Vice special on the Von Erichs and Gino Hernandez was very good! Chilling on Vice when a wccw official went to the Von Erichs home and the father Fritz new right away and said which one of my sons is it [Dead]

I'm hearing Zac Efron is brilliant portraying Kevin, one critic was like this is Efron's tour de force.
Judging from the promo pics I've seen, looks like Zac had a little 'juicing' assistance too.

Ain't nobody got time for that FAKE wrestling crap.. I'm out Stevie. I grew up watching it too but I watch the UFC now. Real mans sport!

Will catch it on demand. Not worth seeing in theaters imo. Godzilla minus one on the other hand was well worth it

Yes, looking forward to it. I won't go watch it at the theatres though, will wait till it becomes digital.

Yes, I can’t wait to see it! Was a fan of all the World Class action in those days.

It's a tragic story. I'll look forward to watching it in a theater.

Movie will not be close to the story if they don't show how much pressure Fritz put on his boys. David literally worked himself to death. Kerry felt like he had to continue through pain and a lost leg. Mike didn't even want to wrestle. Chris wanted to wrestle, but was too small. Kevin was lucky to break himself off from all of this madness.

Chavo was the consultant for the movie.

I seen it they portray Fritz pretty well.

This is the best post you’ve ever made

And to answer the question yes, yes I am. Tried to see it today but had to compromise with my daughter
