Today, World Class Championship Wrestling is seen as a very successful regional territory from the late 80's.

However, its impact and reach stretched across the globe. In fact, it reached all the way across the Atlantic to a young boy living in England. That boy would grow up to write and direct one of the most important movies regarding the impact WCCW and the Von Erich family had on the lives of so many wrestling fans today. It was such an honor to grab some time with write and director of The Iron Claw, Sean Durkin.

If you were a fan of pro wrestling in the late 80's, no doubt you know the name VON ERICH. That name may stir up memories of tragedy and heartbreak. But, there are two torch bearers that are out to put and end to the curse attached to their family name; Ross & Marshall Von Erich! The AntMan had a chance to sit down with the brothers just after their AEW and Ring of Honor debuts to talk family legacy, the movie THE IRON CLAW and how they're blazing their own path in the family business!

The trademark had already come up on the screen at the conclusion of the 2023 Survivor Series and I was about to turn the TV off and turn in for the night.

And it was just about the moment my thumb was getting ready to press the power button when we heard the static and the unmistakable guitar lick of 'CULT OF PERSONALITY!'

CM PUNK is back in WWE!

But is this a good thing?
