A custom image of Zac Efron in The Iron Claw

The Big Picture It’s not entirely surprising that many former professional wrestlers have begun film careers, as the skills are very applicable. Professional wrestling is not simply a physical endurance test, but an art form that requires the development of strong personalities and well-developed characters. However, the pressures of retaining a persona inside the ring can be a challenge, as distinguishing between reality and performance can become quite draining.

The Iron Claw RDramaBiographysport The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.

Efron leans into the eccentricities of Kevin’s ringside persona, but The Iron Claw shows how challenging it can be to retain a highly aggressive personality. In a critical interaction between Kevin and his future bride Pam Adkisson , he compares his success in the ring to a job promotion; while it’s exciting to be granted victory, defeat can be intensely distressing because of how emotionally committed he is to becoming a character.

The Iron Claw does a remarkable job at showing the effects of mental health issues, as Kerry begins to develop depression and self-hatred as a result of his father’s neglectful attitude. Efron shows that aggression is not a proper way to express emotions, as he tries to guide Kerry to seek help after a dispute with Fritz during a family gathering. In one of the film’s most heartbreaking moments, an enraged Kevin attacks Fritz after discovering Kerry’s death.
