Kerry Gene Adkisson better known by his ring name Kerry Von Erich was an American professional wrestler. He was part of the Von Erich family of professional wrestlers.

He is best known for his time with his father’s promotion World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), where he spent eleven years of his career, and his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), under the ring name The Texas Tornado.

Are They Making A Movie About The Von Erichs?

Yes, The Iron Claw. The Iron Claw follows the real-life story of the three wrestling Von Erich brothers, produced by A24 and directed by Sean Durkin.

Efron, famed High School Musical alum, in an indie movie by a director known for exploring the psychological interiority of characters — and the minds in question are three buff brothers? Meaty and intense.

Efron plays Kevin Von Erich, a pro wrestler in a family dedicated to the sport. The true story begins in the 1960s through the present day, following not just Efron’s Von Erich but The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as one of the other Von Erich brothers, Kerry Von Erich, and the third wrestling Von Erich brother, David, played by Triangle of Sadness’s Harris Dickinson. Whether or not they will be bulking up like Efron is yet to be revealed.

Other actors who have signed on to the project include Lily James in an unspecified role and Maura Tierney and Holt McCallany as the Von Erichs’ parents, Doris and Fritz. In real life, Fritz was a pro wrestler as well, and he trained his sons.

Where Is The Von Erich Ranch?

It’s in Shady shores. The house he committed suicide in had been demolished and a middle school and water tower has been built there.

They have moved from the other house and now new people live there. A housing development is there now too. Not the same at all anymore.
