I loved it; good movie


I watched it last night. I loved it. I'm a big wrestling fan. I've read a bunch of wrestling bios that detailed the old NWA territory system (e.g. Terry Funk and Stan Hansen's books). So I quite enjoyed seeing WCCW, the Sportarium,and the Von Erichs' etc. on the big screen. The wrestling scenes, which occur in a dimly lit standing-area room, were well-done. And I think wrestling fans can appreciate that, despite the tragic story of the Von Erichs, the movie doesn't cast the wrestling profession itself as villainous. The acting was great all-around, and the setting really looked 1980s

I see that the movie didn't get any Oscars. How they could nominate "Barbie" for Best Picture but not "The Iron Claw" is baffling. Efron should have got a Best Actor nomination.

A+
