    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.

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

    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.
