e for I my trust in  you show me the way I should go for in you I UST my life Wow children are just being witnessed  to the disparaging parts of their relationship isn't that every family it's interesting they're  just focusing on the boy's reaction to all of it I like that transition Walking Dead he did specific workouts to get  his nipples to that I was going to ask is this fake is he wearing a bodysuit is  it like a makeup no it's real that's all I heard about this movie you think  you had to

take drugs test whoa wow let's go for a run come on let's go  oh I'm not doing that this feels so authentic Jesus guns Jesus and guns ever since  I was a child people said my family was cursed we never talked about it and I don't know  if my brothers and I believed it back then but bad things kept happening mom tried to  protect us with God pop tried to protect us with wrestling he said if we were the toughest  the most successful nothing could' ever hurt us wow I believed it we all did seems l

ike getting  into the body was so important for this [Music] [Applause] [Music] character H raking his eyes on the ropes t tisk it's interesting how whenever we're in the  ring they shooted this like such disorienting fashion that's [Applause] interference  I do love wrestling [Music] with can't believe they CGI this whole [Applause] crowd the winner and the new Texas  heavyweight champion Kevin V congratulations just a startor you're back working harder  than ever it's interesting how whenever

we're in this like wrestling celebration it's  always juxtapose with this constant darkness that motivates them eat like you're a starving M  morning if I quickly take my food m that's how I feel when I eat around you though you're growing  well but you need to bulk up get some strength in those arms I'll always have your back money  you won't always be around kid won't be able to defend himself against what Carrie is about to  become the family's first Olympian Kevin is the NWA Texas Champion D

avid is about to make his  ring debut it's time for you to start thinking about what you're going to be well Kevin's  going to live out the family dreams now we all know Carrie's my favorite then Kev then David  then Mike but the rankings can always change oh man just make them make them compete for your  for the approval at least he's honest about it I guess I don't know what's worse itam it you're  such a disappointment Mike come on David I got to take a dunp sure David go for it David Mike sh

ut  up give me a second is that the iron claw M Hey Kevin can I talk to you about something baby  that's what your brothers are for there's so much like emotional abuse in this family oh my God  Dad's too tough on mik M you got to say something I don't think she going to do anything about it  I mean she just seems like a shell of her former self I know please Kevin that's between them now  go get ready between 15 minutes she's just a robot at this point it's interesting that he still  has so muc

h pressure on all of a son's like a certain EXP expectation out of every single one  of them you think after the first one does good you're like who cares about the rest you know yeah  it's his Philosophy for them to be the [Music] best seems like he goes to church out  of obligation not because he actually wants to be there probably because  she's making him remember they said she protects him with God and he protects him  with wrestling probably feels like God let him down yeah you can already

  tell the way he's looking up damn wherever they shot this really  does feel like from a different time period oh he wants to be a rockar I don't think  that's what his daddy wants artist in the family yeah I'm starving uh can we get burgers on the  way oo veggie girl sounds good it [Music] does I like these quiet moment touches of them just  like The Slice of Life moments yeah you can tell they're very close very family oriented every  probably because they've had to protect each other growing

up true true we have the newly  crowned Texas heavyweight champion Kevin von Eric here and he scheduled to fight in a tag team  match later on tonight against Gino Hernandez o and Bruiser Brody but his partner is still a  mystery that's right Bill I just want to say that Gino you've been running that mouth of  yours way way too long now I'm here to take care of it do do I have something special for  you tonight buddy can we just do that again from absolutely see the lack of confidence yeah  fir

st off I just want to say that Gino you've been shooting your mouth off way way too long  about me and my family I got something special for you boy oh boy more inflection he brought  up the family David I hear you stop I didn't say anything Still Remains a mystery that's right  bill I got something special tonight you know first off that's the worst take Gino you've been  shooting your math shooting your shoot shooting your ma [ __ ] this has to be very hard though  because you have to have tha

t Charisma for the fans to like root for you yeah it's true you can't  really just rely on the looks you have to have the personality too just get out of here yeah yes  please and then like if you've built up a certain character you've got to stay in that [Music]  character [Music] cowbell like the costumes cars and just the sets they built like these  little touches just feel it really does feel real really well too and then have like a good  tracking shot of this I want you to really sell it t

ag Gino in fight him back do him a body slam an  elbow drop he's going to drive you to the corner stay there oh is that his brother he's going to be  his tag team partner here all right David welcome to the show they do a lot of these like sensory  things where it's like loud crowd stuff that it just cuts to like it's quiet now oh where's  the mom church and a kick out from Gino Kevin getting up to the top rope 30 days now huge flying  damn Zack Eon really trained for this I know the feathers li

ne up a double drop kick an incredible  double drop kick blowing the roof of this place I bet they trained at like a performance center  with actual wrestlers his father's notorious signature move oh and he slaps it on Gino look  at him look out crushing of the [Applause] cranium see loud quiet than I wonder if she's a  love interest no no no no no no no highly doubt it love interests are never cut to like that  can I get your autograph yeah sure thanks oh don't you want to ask me who to make it

out to oh  yeah it's pam pam oh he nervous you're supposed to say nice to meet you Pam oh do you think he's  nervous where he just doesn't care I'm sorry he seems kind of Dazed probably got a concussion  did you uh want my brother sign no just you okay then no he feels less than no he's defin I'm not  getting nervous vibes your folks not teach you how to ask questions like what see I think he's just  like he had all those other girls around him you know you shall I make this out to or um or wou

ld  you like to have a drink with me sometime Pam are you asking me out see he's like we feel a little  worse while you're at it no no no I would love to go out with you wasn't that yeah I just I've  just never been asked before oh well hopefully it'll go well and then no one else will have the  chance to ask again a damn I he's probably been told to stay away from like dating and women to  focus on his career you know how he doesn't have a relationship with his mom and immediately she  kind of

mothers him at the very top the Saturday ratings back highest numbers ever sweet Taylor  Swift must have been in the crowd they want to offer us a national slot for Saturday nights  so he runs the promotion I'm assuming if we perform and we have a world heavyweight champion  in our rust we could be the biggest promotion in wrestling what do you want in life Kevin bner  to be heavyweight champion more ribs I want to be World Heavyweight Champion nailed it can  you just explain that to me cuz and

all just fake fake there's nothing fake about what we do  okay all right not fake pre-arranged written it's a fair question correct yes but in any industry  based on your performances right so a build like my Texas Tittle it's really just a job promotion  okay if you reach the top you become World Champ as a reward because you're the best based on your  ability and on how the crowd responds to you yes and it's people skills he needs to work on is  that all you want no of course not I want to be

with my family and you want to start family you  know be with my brothers what do you like to do with your brothers just being together we can do  anything how sweet what about you well I want to be a vet I want kids I want my own practice I want  a man who's okay with that I'm going to keep e in this animal right here so would you be okay okay  with that oh damn right I would we could be one of those modern super couples we could have our  own ranch everyone could come live with us all my broth

ers their F budy you know you have oldest  brother syndrome that's a real thing that's a real thing for sure maybe I'm not the oldest  though but he acts like it when I was five my big brother Jack Jr he died how oh my God Kevin  I'm so sorry I had no idea that's all right and I don't really think about it it's probably why  I has to take care of everyone yeah it's why he was so close it with his other brothers what was  that like I don't know it was strange he said he was five right yeah it's c

ore memory right there  yeah he just wasn't there to play with one day oh wow I must have the uh the second oldest brother  syndrome I mean you kind of inherited being all this what just happened oh  she feel sorry for oh my God way to any woman's heart trauma he's probably  never been hugged you think it's mom ever hugged him once no that's what I mean like she asks  questions takes interest in him Comforts him like the look on his face when she hugged him he  was like what what's happening you

think Dad his dad ever hugged him said it's okay my dad changed  his last name to von Eric so when my brother died people started saying that it was his curse I  know it was all his bad luck I don't believe in curses and I don't believe in luck I think we  make our own luck Harvey D you're lucky then I think we make our own luck you're lucky then  nice back and forth get in here uh-oh I like the chemistry between him and I forget that  actor's name big news for you I booked Harley Race to come

to the harly Rees you are going  to fight the World Heavyweight Champion your first match will be a non-title fight but if  you put a whooping on him you will become the number one Contender for the World Heavyweight  Championship I've dreamed of having that belt in this house my whole career oh my God but  the NWA never gave me the chance I deserved oh my word but they always robbed me at the last  minute so you have to take this opportunity you have to fill my dreams yep you can be the one to 

bring it home for us and then I'm going to wear the belt I am the four time World's Heavyweight  Champion there's such a dread to this movie you have all these guys walking around talking loud  about how they are the man Ric Flair Ric Flair Dusty roads Tommy Rich woo this belt is the only  measure of who is the man and that man is me the world's heavyweight champion Harley ree that's  how do promo great promo damn interesting I guess they could jump promotion to promotion back  in the day like

they didn't just stick within one promotion wow it's cool they recreated  the commercials I'm assuming I really don't know NWA world heavyweight champ Harley races  in town to take on Texas Champion Kevin voner I love this I was going to say this  was probably like such a big thing now everything's so sensationalized this is like  raw gy Kevin B faces his biggest challenge to date I don't think Zack Efron 6'2 he looks  it on screen the 3500 fans in the building and everyone watching at home as w

e are broadcasting  in 62 countries around the world all eyes are on this country I mean I really like Zack Efron's  perform performance like Cadence the delivery it's more than just his physical build it's  like it's a whole transformation if he can win he would become the number one Contender  start to the young man looking to make an impression here tonight and a devastating shot  to the lower back so this isn't scripted turns nowadays it is I'm assuming he's not supposed  to win here but he'

s supposed to come close I'm assuming Kevin again off the ropes oh  and he knocks him down he knocks down near old tree hly race for the spectacular flying  Shadows of the crowd outside oh and a low blow ouch oh and he he tosses oh race absolutely  ruthless gets C in a suplex oh no I hope he doesn't do it oh on the concrete yeah oh directly  he looks like he's in real pain right now his body hit the concrete yeah jesusin not Kevin is not oh  that is was that planned I don't think I think at leas

t from what I understand with wrestling like  the outcome is scripted but the wrestlers dictate kind of what goes on on in the ring and then  they can make up things on the Fly depending on like crowd reaction got [Applause] it  oh those flares on screen they look like blood wow what a cool tracking shot from  the ground up ouch but see now he has the crowd on his side yeah so even if he loses  he's still as R gets him into yet another suplex Kevin spins out oh his he is back in  thisch here he

comes off the ropes he does not look happy [Applause] man Kevin's eyes but  he doesn't want to hear oh disqualified surely he will be disqualified but he gets to keep  the belt see still Well yeah if you lose by disqualification you don't lose the belt and  the winner by disqualification Kevin this is dirty okay yeah this is not scripted get out  of here I think it is really yeah Harley I dare you go all get out of here I that's part  of the greatness of this right is to buy to the believability

yeah pretty sure SC but you still  rooting for them you know you coward afraid I was going to beat you so oh his promo skills youy R  oh there we go we showed you what we're made of oh you are the past my friend we're the future of  this sport so you keep all run DN really in this whether you're mad enough to stop back through  Dallas or if we have to chase you down in he's great yeah it's all one take you anywhere  anytime for a fair shot at that NWA world heavy White Title [ __ ] those silent

those  cuts just like Snap you into the rawness of it you were long getting up Jesus yeah I've just  never hit the floor that hard before you got to take it and get up but buddy man what a hard ass  he wasn't supposed to throw me out the ring see cut me off guard there was nothing I could do  I physically I just couldn't move this is how they test you wow no empowerment at all did I  do enough to get my rematch of course you did we'll see oh my gosh those R will use any excuse  they can to scre

w us over but I'll chase them David damn great on the mic son oh my God Jesus  we'll get you out on the road get you some more exposure oh my God it's amazing these brothers  still support each other so much when the dad pissed them against them each other I think it's  because they're aware of what the father's trying to do but you were incredible out there why  didn't you let me talk a no well you didn't you should let me talk yeah I'm sorry keev I  thought I was helping it's heartbreaking hey

smile man you just beat the World Heavyweight  Champion out there all he wants to do is make his dad proud though so whenever there's like this  crowd celebration there's a constant dreariness oh here's the The Olympian who's this guy Jeremy  Runner no it's the bear guy right oh is I've never seen him Shameless he's from dreamless  too what's his name Jeremy Allen I have no idea I think it's Jeremy Allen fascinating this  is the first time we're seeing him though right yeah you're helping fill

in so much context what  happened here in my judgment what we are doing is preserving oh did they cancel the Olympics the  principles and the quality of the Olympics not destroying it it is absolutely imperative I don't  know what they're doing that we and other nations who believe in Freedom and who believe in human  rights let our voices be heard oh man I think that's what they did and I hope the recognition  of a Grateful Nation but at least partti make up with the sacrifice that you'll have

to make this  summer and not going to Moscow yeah oh okay oh his whole thing he's been working for gone it's  hard to preserve that opportunity for the next one well it's like what four years then yeah he  might probably aged out at that point You' think yeah I mean people work their whole lives just  for that and like and to try to get the goal golden it's all they be able to have the family  curse no he's got to go into wrestling that's the real curse for him Dam what they must have shot  this

on film because it looks like a 70s movie A hey har the mom is so quiet and week I mean she's  in a household of bunch of men who probably don't give a [ __ ] about her opinion he's so tall  oh man the first thing he says is I'm sorry [Music] Pop I mean he cares about  them in his own weird way yeah it's complicated did you ever play  football with your dad no didn't even play catch you didn't even play catch no  I played football with my Dad we watched [Music] movies oh poor Mikey you got to l

ay  out for that come on son these bonding moments are are so important for this story yeah but  you also see the little cracks in the bonding moments coach Roy called me from UT he said what  do you see him hey Pam I can pour you some more more lemonade or something sure is flirting you  keep a hold of her son she's a good one you put that down someone else will pick it up the first  first positive thing my dad said to me my whole life want marri her right now hey K you see all  the new camera

angles they cool R we're talking about wrestling not camera angles brother fought  the world champion on national TV who gives a damn about camera angles uh those are very important  I Don't Want to Miss a body slam okay hey what do you play Viola violent piano musical like  his father really dad's musical when I first met your father he was classically trained on  the clarinet what look at his he gave it up to play football at Southern Methodist W decided  there was no future in music I chose S

port and I was right used to play the most beautiful pieces  for me when we first dated look how sad she is I know she misses who he was what they had we we  actually have gig Michael that's great when was tonight at UT Dallas oh you're too young Kev  on national tour at 17 that was for work your mom said no now that's the end of it what I mean  we could take him I care we could we could play the gag I'm going leave right after dude these  brothers are so kind the answer is no they are so suppor

tive I know got to stick together such  kidship when you go grow up that close you've really got to look how close my brother and  I are he took the fall for a lot of [ __ ] I do they're pushing it so they don't make  a noise smart oh Pam you're the cool girl you one of the boys now [Applause]  Pam the dad's going to be standing right there yeah somehow he's going  to blame Kevin for all this [Music] oh look at him he's a [Music] superstar seems like this is who  the dad really wanted to be and

that's why he throws shade his way oh this is such  like wonderfully orchest like psychologically orchestrated he takes out any any  of his sons who have a a mirror he doesn't want to face he takes it out on  them have to acknowledge his own failures exactly let me take some notes  on good parenting this is how I make my son a superstone amazing shame them into success I love like Efron's subtleties  is's very good in this oh ironclaw time baby oh please don't call you're  going to call that for

the rest of your life I know it dad's going to show  up you think yeah you're doing it wrong Kevin let me show you how it's done get your  brother in here he'll show you how to do it wow it's like watching the electric  company but with sexy have you ever he did he just ask her have you ever I'm  assuming she hasn't he hasn't what why why would that be a problem o not at all  not what is it that oh oh I just uh the electric company never not never never but  never what uh what you sweet thing w

ow you just say all the right things to make  yourself attractive that's why you so buff and it's over yeah if you're  watching on YouTube you know what scene this is we can't show it what  they're not doing nothing it the enough I don't think so I know  how YouTube works I don't think so he's pissed they gave it to Ric Flair  hey Ric Flair is a star though he uhoh he is scary I know I'm scared of him he's who  I thought the dad and Selena was going to be like God what is he doing I think he's f

arming  there's just so much anguish in his performance he's going to blame his kids you're not good  enough AKA he's not good enough I'm scared for them right Carrie sir I don't know if you've  been thinking about your future but you should think about wrestling no now I wouldn't wish  wrestling on any of you what I only wrestled to provide for you all I always hoped you  boys had choose another profession what you sure about that but the Olympics has been  taken from you the way professional f

ootball was taken from me takes out everything on  them the world keeps taken from us oh boy I want to fight back he does not look happy  about this because he knows what this means for his other brother I want you to join your  brothers in the ring yes sir I told you glad to hear it son he looks like he's about to cry  see he he thinks that Kevin can't do it so now he's going to put do you see that's exactly  what he's doing there that was that was his thought process there I guarantee it well

if  Kevin can't do it then I'll go on to someone else now let's trip on some ass why is uh Kevin Barefoot it's a style I don't like it nice good finesse there great work Jesus can you do  that sure do it now show everyone wow they're like crucifying it's  a strat [Applause] match no no no no where's the Dad oh oh God they would like really hurt each other  then huh I mean I'm sure he bladed himself you cut yourself oh yeah yeah I've seen the wrestler with  Mickey work all my understanding of wre

stling is from other movies about wrestling I've never  seen that movie oh wow all my understanding about wrestling comes from watching wrestling  crowd was electrified he's going to be World Heavyweight Champion one day he's moved on from  Kevin to Carrie now yeah but this is pressure you feel that you feel that that's pressure but  David's not feeling his actual he's not pursuing his actual dreams that's why he's losing himself  to having fun nothing but lie bully and cheat your way to Victory

not David the Olympic one and they  have him and the Mike that's real good he's like the manager like the voice while the other ones  are the muscle to the Wrestling Federation that our father built with his own two hands the hands  that were passed down to us the hands that were delivered the iron claw to you it's about it's  about fulfilling the father's Legacy what about their own identity they don't have it I don't  think any of them outside Mikey the youngest have their own like identity i

dentities and the  challengers from D Texas Kevin carrye and David car's not pursuing his dreams at all so I  he's like losing himself to like partying and stuff okay but David and Kevin don't even  know what their own dreams are elbows his own man I think Kevin probably is the only one who  really wanted this you know yeah he just lacks Showmanship yeah and now he's going to lose it  because his father thinks he's not good enough off the ropes with the cross body Terry Gordy  catches him what's

he going to do with him here come O carry falls on G and that's it that's new  champs they're new champs how exciting for them I don't think this one was going to last but  good for that we're only halfway through the movie dad immediately jumps in the ring with them  tonight you saw the strength and resilience of my family oh Mike's in there too we're sending  a message to Sam mutchnik and every other territory out there in the NWA wccw is the  best in the business oo the V are the best in the

business of How It's we've become the  camera that he's talking to yeah cuz I willon make it my life's work to see to it that David  von Eric will be the next NWA world heavweight champion wow look at Kevin and Carrie they're  like what and then each and every one one of my sons starting with Kevin then Carrie then  Mike oh wow all one day will lift that world heavyweight title BT because the V Erics are  and will forever be the greatest family in the history of wrestling the hearts are by the 

way it's the heart family Tre doesn't mean me first uhoh does make mistakes like that  yep he knows is there a problem oh [ __ ] no sir no sir and like I said Kevin's probably  the only one who actually really wants this I mean yeah he admitted he did oh he he thinks  he's got a bulk up now is that what's [Music] happening yeah oh he knows he's doing it I think they're all doing it uh they're all  their paths are crossing oh with their Dads yeah I love all that overlapping yeah I've got good  n

ews we are finally getting a world heavyweight title shot with Ric Flair woo and they want it  to be you David don't look to your brother this is your time you've been chosen you earned  it you'll go on the road and Feud with Flare in every territory in America over the next six  months oh boy then you'll go to Japan you can't be world champion unless you win over Japan then  you'll fight with flair at parade of Champions in May at Texas stadium how hollow are you up  for it of course I am about

it trains him like a military unit I know I've waited my whole  life to have that belt we've had a couple of setbacks but I can feel it if you perform the  title will be ours oh man and look at them in the back oh he's the one who always wanted it  now this wouldn't be happening without the two of you you've made your brother better and your  Collective effort has pushed him to the top keep it up out there I feel so bad for him yeah I feel  feels so bad for him no one trains harder than him mhm

me just look at him I know you [Applause] know  movie has does a really good job at handling time span we didn't have this moment went our  wedding cuz you were in the hospital yeah I know the director probably told Zack fron  you got to dial back to dancing we know you can really move why can you really move we  know you can really move why Zack Ron's like a professional dancer from where juliard I  don't know high school musical Hairspray life is High School Musical professional  dancing yes

I've seen the commercials okay What's happen that's not a good sign I was  like what is happening too much already it's early oh what's if his dad his dad's who is it [ __ ]  brother Oh no you're right oh David we just some stomach Gramps oh you think he's like doing too  money it's blood he's coughing up blood yeah oh [ __ ] he must be doing too much stuff you need to  see a doctor no I'm fine oh just the limit they're being pushed to you're pushing too hard you think  it's going to slow down w

hen you become world champion I'm fine Kev seriously I'm just sick  I don't know buddy I don't I I don't think you should go to Japan next week if Japan's already  next week the pressure is on hey Dave I just want to say I didn't take it so well you jump me him  oh he least is honest I understand man you're not going to flush that I that's all I'm thinking up  too I'm like they really focusing right on that shot right there you know it's got a steak in  there too I just love being out there with

of happiness for them it's the midpoint of the movie yeah they'll never  be happy again after this moment what's this P what is it David what happened what  he died in his hotel room in Japan oh [ __ ] a ruptured intestine oh no how does that happen so  before he had had yeah he had to have had that ruptur oh it's a postcard from Japan probably from  David I mean obviously what a stupid thing to say Kev I miss you brother you got to come with me  next time it's wild over here oh that's so sad s

omeone asked me for an autograph today because  they thought I was you made me very happy I'll probably be home by the time you get this so this  is stupid but jeez all those people came out see you soon as much as there was like competition  they just loved each other so much and it was like the healthy competition you know and David  always cared to like protect his feelings yeah I'm here if you want to talk good probably should  talk buddy it's not a family that talks I know that's why you pr

obably should do it but we cannot  let this tragedy to find us see the fireflies in the background beautiful shot our greatness will  be measured by our response to adversity sure now David's title match against Ric Flair at parade  of Champions is a moment of a lifetime we still have a chance to bring the World Heavyweight  Championship home if one of you will step up and wrestle in his place wow my God is this a  real guy everything we have ever worked for in the ring is riding on this moment

I can do it  Dad I can do it too oh my goodness here we go I'll do it I'm ready D no no guys don't you  don't have to it's my match no I deserve it too boys guys it's a tough decision you are the  oldest Kev but Carrie's been getting the most heat lately we're going to flip a coin oh my word  it's the only fair way to decide such an [ __ ] he the worst he's the he's the worst taals  for Kevin two out of tail coin he's going to lie oh poor Kevin like this Dad is like  destroying the family in toa

lly and the only thing that keeps tethered together  is the love the brothers have for each other [Applause] W dad's going to run up  and grab that belt right from his hands I did it I didn't know you were still here  I'm about to headit home how you doing I'm having trouble coming down I can't believe  it's finally in our family yeah it doesn't feel as rewarding as they thought doesn't  feel those holes huh you know what I think I'm going to go for a ride or something yeah  be careful I don't t

hink you should do that hey car you were great today than they fight in  Japan they travel all over but Japan is like uh but they were in Japan and they got back home  today no that's not how flights work right I know that's what was confused but man just like  you do all that s your whole life has revolved around this [ __ ] finally get it like something  Terrible's going to happen yeah I'm pretty sure something Terrible's about to [Music] happen I'm  pretty sure something Terrible's about to h

appen Greg oh no not even wearing a helmet this  is my like it did it intentionally 100% right well he mentioned he said I'm having trouble  coming down from the high maybe he felt like this is the best is going to get for him did he lose  a leg or something oh but he's he doing lots of drugs oh okay that's a faster way to get into  your system I guess yeah I know this family's falling apart yeah dead yeah okay I knew we got  into a wreck but I didn't know he lost his foot is everything correct

I'm just so worried about  this baby me too actually his last name will be Aton that's my birth name oh yeah that was I'd  be super [ __ ] too honestly my gosh and you know she was like yep change that name change  that name she didn't even bad ey worried about a family curse you know are you sure you want to  do that I just I'll feel safer for him I think Kev you know it's got nothing to do the night  I think it does I mean the belief and energy of the curse yep standik here yeah that's what  I

'm saying they're making Mikey do it now twist it again make it mean something headlock oh man  the pressure on this guy come on godamn it switch your feet don't become your dad man there it  is it's fine mik you're doing fine just keep going Circle up ready for this match oh this poor  family nervous they were like so celebrated but miserable this is what happens when you  don't go to [Applause] therapy oh no Mikey it's just like a Snowball Effect these  last 20 ever since the death of David it

's just been like well I told you that wedding was  the last happy moment they made it pretty clear when they were filming it I like this is the  last time we're going to see them all be happy together we completed the surgery as planned oh  no we repaired the shoulder but it was trickier than we anticipated great Mike's temperature  skyrocketed we worked really hard to bring it down but it was close to 107 for almost 2 hours  waa I'm sorry to say that Mike is in a coma what the this is insane a

ll we can do now is wait and  PR apples through I'm very sorry this all really happened yeah why does it just keep happening  stay with me okay but it keeps happening it's taking over he shouldn't have even been in the  ring oh he's right it is not your fault if you want to blame someone you blame your father I  mean she's right truth but no what could you do Kevin there's no getting through to that man oh my  gosh just take him till your mom gets here got to [Music] go it's really interesting l

ike the  The Dread from the very beginning has been like this curse that's been like slowly growing  over this whole like looming over the whole movie see now it's infecting his own family we're  all just so excited that Mike pulled through shows how much of a fighter he is oh no after losing  David it's just it's too much to think that we almost lost Mike too the brain damage yeah he's  had have had some a severe brain injury and I moved that m family is here with me through  everything this is

so sad so what's the time frame for your return to the ring Mike what I know  I'll be back soon yeah soon please he's going to be back in the ring in no time no it's weird  how he's now become this a good speaker yeah well remember he takes on the personalities  of those older brother syndrome [Applause] yeah who's in the ring with him yeah I'm  assuming just some random taing him [Applause] in he doesn't have his brothers with him he's all  alone that's what kept Him together too that's all I

cared about yeah remember he said I just want to  be with my brothers you notice we're not focused on the dad as much we're focused on him way more  now too yeah seems like it's been his story really the whole time right and now his whole life is  done for as well you know that's the house I grew up in I painted that really I'm scared M  all the good memories are becoming distant mhm not David everybody wants me to be David but can't  replace him [Music] really probably doesn't even know how to

tune it [Music] anymore that is so sad  please don't oh my God Jesus I know we just LED at the same time oh my God you got to be kidding  me my heart just feels so empty right [Music] now is he trying to get back in  the ring too yeah this is all they [Music] know I mean dude there's only  so much you can do I see how much pain you're in we can't rush this it's going to  take time Carrie I'm ready again maybe this is God trying to tell you to slow down maybe  you should do something else with yo

ing is a prison yeah ever  since I was a child people said my family was cursed it never seemed to worry my father he  said if we were the toughest the strongest most successful most successful but absolute fast  oh fast that generational trauma I believed him we all did follow their father's instructions  and things got worse it is so hard to be humble when you're looking like Ric Flair the difference  between me and a lot of these so-called Big Time stars is that I'm custom made it's like he's

put  all his pain into his body mhm Kevin your daddy got together with the powers that be and ordered  me back down here to death nothing happened in second R Sports Community ooh my goodness  a nothing happening the toughest wrestler alive today I have bled and sweat for this title  and no daddy's boy is going to take that from me this is professional wrestling damn if you're a  man you take the ups and downs if you're a real man you never go down you just stay up S does a  really good job at

getting you invested into the wrestling storyline like it's something very  real you know and I can go through Kevin von Eric or any von Eric the worst day of my life  Rook Flair is one of the greatest superstars ever exist 1986 very problematic in real life  but and here comes k a medior rise these last few months to become the number one Contender for  the NWA world no brothers behind him [Applause] yeah [Music] ouch is that a famous walk  of his or something yeah and the woo obviously come on

oh we've been off frame  this whole time he scooted your left a tiny bit whatever it doesn't matter we know we'll do it all  right I need to get my thoughts composed they say crying is good for you oh that ending with the  boys we cry all the time oh [ __ ] I was like you boys are going to be great psychologist we're  going to change the Millennium of men forever to liar yourselves to cry I think I think we are in  a day and age now where it you know like when a woman cries it's like ah women cr

ying you know and  I think it's it's becoming if anything I sometimes I see comments that can be like negative if myself  or W or crying but I think it's you know once in a while we get comments or I see tweets or people  are like hey you make me feel comfortable and okay to cry and I think we're in a day and age where  more men are feeling more comfortable to cry so that was a touching ass scene at especially see  it in the boy holy [ __ ] it's getting to me again I got to get through the talk

Point well that  could have gone through either way with uh him continuing his father's Behavior yeah and his kids  made sure that that didn't happen you know yeah all right before we look up facts about this movie  um yeah I brought Olivia on because I mean clearly if you guys watch the reaction she would help  fill in some context of things that I like didn't understand with wrestling that but I think even if  uh this is clearly a movie that even if you don't follow wrestling you can easily ye

ah like I enjoy  watching episodes of the dark side of the Ring more than I do watching actual wrestling like it's  a documentary and it's really dark and I love the story behind that you love the trauma behind it a  lot of people do there's a lot of Seasons there's a lot of episodes for a reason because people love  that it's their good story they tell it it's very compelling dark [ __ ] that you're you're watching  that it's true stuff but um so yeah you know once in a while you show me stuff

that I'm into I've  been watching that stuff Cody and the rock all I told you the other day we got to go back to  Attitude Era WWE but uh for this story where to begin with it um it started off in a way that  like I I think who is this director written and directed by the same guy because really what has  he done in the past I'm very curious to find out because he is a phenomenal director read those  off to me I can't see ironclaw dead ringers the rental I haven't heard of any of these movies  d

ead ringer sound familiar what did he direct dead ringers The Nest I don't know what any of  these movies are keep reading South Cliff is a miner Martha Marcy May marleene is this nominated  for any Oscars I don't think so I think it's been a big like direct I think it's been like a big  snub because yeah I think from a writing this I think from a writing and directing standpoint  because we talk this is one of those movies where you would look so much at the performances and the  story was so e

ngaging from beginning to end uh but the directing on it was so solid everything  felt very authentic it was it breathed really well this was a movie that could have easily gone  down into tragedy porn but the movie I think did such a great job at illustrating um the love in a  way that wasn't like hey hey tragedies around the corner This Is The Love right right now cuz it  was always going for such a sense of uh realism cuz it were weave in and out of the troubles  and the hardship and the emot

ional abuse but it was also about the kinship of of the brothers  that that love and it did a great job of using the wrestling as a storyline to interwoven into  their personal lives as well you know yeah like using the moment of you can see like the shifts  breaking when David is offered that when the Dad starts to favor David you know you see that in  the wrestling ring and then it translates out of it um yeah Great Moments cuz they use the promo  that's the second you see him great on the mic

you're like oh this is going to be a problem and  sure enough it becomes slowly over time a problem um it's like the allegory for the real wrestling  ring was in the Family household right I think it's fascinating because I know the history of a  lot of what did you know before we watched this what so I knew that almost all of them were dead  died in tragic circumstances I thought one of them was in a wheelchair DET the details were kind  of correct I thought in my mind I thought one of them wa

s in a wheelchair I thought Uh Kevin was  an wheelchair I must have but um I have not seen the Dark Side of I know there's an episode but  I haven't seen it I just knew that that all the brothers like and I knew the dad owned a promotion  and then they had to sell it I knew that um but I and I knew one of them I didn't know two committed  I thought one of them did uhhuh so on YouTube we have to not say that word yeah I will mental  not to mute that word for this I knew one of them un alive it's

so stupid stupid because you're  talking in terms of sensitive context you had they like whoa whoa what' you just say so stupid yeah  but I didn't realize that two of them had um and I knew I knew one of them uh died through tragic  circumstan is like right before that is shocking it really does feel like a curse at that point you  know yeah and you know there's like all kinds of spiritual aspects that people can't believe of  you like oh the that that belief was so strong that they ATT trached

upon themselves or just  coincidence or [ __ ] just happens or it's fate or you know whatever might be regardless it is  tragic circumstances that befell all of them and I think it's easier to look at it as a curse instead  of a family spiraling out of control of with the circumstances surrounding them you know well it  seems like it was the curse was really the dad's belief system more than anything else like you  see the I think that's what like Lily James the Pam was was trying to say to Zack

Efron throughout  this whole movie was that the curse is not real that you are in charge of breaking the curse is  generational trauma generational trauma the curse is becoming like your dad the curse is avoiding  us the curs is this cuz like the Ripple like while a lot of these were a lot of the tragedies  that would come into the their lives were pertain to the the wrestling side of things that would  happen whether that be the the pressure you know like people taking certain substances and g

etting  addicted to things that would deterior their body and not taking care of their mental health I'm  using like them most lack of better word choices here for all these things uh but yeah regardless  a lot of a lot of it wasn't allowing them to like take care of themselves truly physically  and truly mentally and emotionally that they were deteriorating and there was a lot of  self-sabotaging and some awful things uh happened to them and that was because of the way they were  raised and tha

t was because of the way they as tight of a family unit as they were they were with  their dad I think this movie does a really good job at psychologically illustrating all that that  the dad used to be a painter or a musician he used to musician and then he shames his son for going  down that career path and uh he there's a lot of projecting and wanting his kids to fulfill his  Dreams live vicariously through them and never an acknowledgement of emotions and and I think like  that's one of the

movie's messages uh I think it's like if there's anything that's on the nose in a  way that's I feel is very earned is the Drawing the Line in the Sand between what the dad is like  with making everyone a hardcore avoidant saying like don't cry even at the the the brothers the  first brother's death funeral take your sunglasses off yeah to then going to the boys showing that  no this is going to change right here that we are going to allow ourselves to feel our feelings  we are going to allow ou

r and I think so much of the message is about like there's a lot of like  toxic masculinity again you know like I'm using real simplistic terms but this is really painted  in a way that I I thought was so psychologically well done uh with with the with the direction  being so interesting because while they treated it so real they did have kind of reminds me a  little bit of it follows in a way of like the way the camera works like there's something  W there was always something kind of like watc

hing over them trying to seep into them  you know or even that shot where you're not it doesn't specifically show the dad is the one  looking at all of the brothers down below playing you know but it's more of like a Michael Myers  esque like oh that Killer's watching him through the window and then he comes out and he's like  you're getting a shot at the belt like yeah it's like praying on them yeah yeah no it was a really  interesting shot film that also but it never got to the point where I w

ould call it pretentious it  no it it it breathes really well and it gives you the space to feel the emotions of the movie  without shoving it down your throat yeah cuz this is a real hard line you got to ride yeah you  know and it does a great job too at throwing you into the wrestling matches because the wrestling  matches I I would get pulled into the storyline and um you know fighting for something that  ultimately makes you feel empty I thought was great because he like that's what I loved

about  what I think with with Zack Efron you know him being the performance was talking about he's  the main character of the film as it's Kevin I think he really understood the assignment of  the purpose of getting in shape to the to like really making his body shaping his body to be the  like that of should be a wrestler yeah well this idea and and also because like this is as you see  in the movie like he draws his he throws all of his pain and avoidance into his body you know  so the the phy

sicality was more than just hey look at Zack Efron buffing up yet again um and it  just a different body type it it was so integral to the character as a physical representation  of the hardship and pain and commitment and discipline like there's so much about it but  man he gave such a great subtle performance yeah I think all of their performances is really  well um even Lily James now I keep thinking Lily Thomason she was the one part of the movie we got  to know a little more about though sh

e was kind of just like good supportive woman you know  but I feel like she spoke up when needed to she wasn't I feel like if we focused too much on  her it would have taken away the brother aspect that the film is really leaning heavily into  sure um so I I think she was in just the right amount because she's not supposed to be what  ultimately brings him out of this generational trauma he's supposed to do that himself with  her guidance does that make sense sense yeah and uh so yeah I actually

didn't mind that at  all I wish we had gotten more of I was just trying to say what I thought other women would  want me to say but that apparently wasn't the case what about the mom I said I wish we' had  gotten more of the mom and the mom's backstory that's so funny because I I feel like she was  appropriately used because she's become a shell she was so dejected and like she is just living  in the in the in her husband's um projection of everything you know well they all are yeah she  fell i

n love with a man who he is not anymore you know cuz see that the S they were like high school  lovers was he ever that man though is the question seems like he rejected it I mean she she always  saw him for who he could be internally and then he just kept losing sight of that but you know  people got divorced way less back then true true it would still stay together they all had really  great chemistry all of the brothers all the actors they have really good chemistry with each other  yeah they

were they really felt like that's so important for this movie for them to really feel  like brothers yeah and I think a lot of attention goes to Zack Efron not just because he's the  main character but because it's Zach Efron and he doesn't feel like he's trying to win an Oscar  you know what I mean well he's not going to so he's not going to not but you know sometimes you  see a role like this you're what a bummer cuz he's really good I know you're like oh [ __ ] he got  jipped because he's [ 

__ ] amazing in this movie um but it's not like a look at me performance  you know it's such an internal as as much is it's like a physical on the athletic side it's in  terms of the emotional side it's a very internal performance I think they do a great job of using  the eyes to express emotion throughout the film like they do a lot of close-ups on the blue eyes  of Jeremy Allen White and Zack Efron like that moment in the ring where he's got the claw on him  and he won't let go there's just a

lot of eye work there you know eyes are the window to the soul for  a reason yeah but I think where the balance comes in too with the movie with the chemistry with them  all is like we have like the IMDb trailer just like on Loop of us it and it reminded me of like  some of the earlier scenes in the movie where you would see the dad once in a you you could see the  dad wasn't like this one note [ __ ] like there were times like they're playing football together  you could see them really bonding

and even as when Dad buys them a car are at the very beginning of  the movie when it's in black and white when his dad's a competitive wrestler you could see why  they would they didn't just live in fear they also still love their dad despite how much they  have probably harbored a lot of hat hatred towards their dad as well um everyone everyone was so good  in this movie all the performances I mean fing the D I mean Hol is like he's so good he's so good in  the movie everyone's great in this f

ilm but even the shots of like just watching this there's that  the start of the film where they're all together walking out to the ring and that still plays  theout but then one slowly goes away and then the other one goes away and then it's just him  walking out to the ring by himself it's like that storyline carries into the wrestling aspect of it  as well um I thought I just think it's brilliantly done yeah I think everything about it was  wonderfully shocked it was wonderfully captured and

uh all everyone was great not just Zack Efron  everyone was amazing is the mandible claw which is a man a move mankind uses who's another wrestler  is that a play the I'm asking your your followers here your subscribers is that a play on the iron  claw because I think the Mand claws in the mouth whereas the iron claw is just like on the head  the claw but I think there it's like maybe a call back to it I'm not sure what does it say here  I don't have my glasses on outside of his actor Ryan neth

is a professional wrestler who's Ryan  neth who's Ryan neth the Hollywood hunk on a a e w Kevin's sons are actual wrestlers  too oh no way mjf is in this movie where oh wait why is this on here he was  signed with all uh who's Max wolf yeah I know that but why is he in here I guess he  was in the movie Maxwell fredman mjf he's from a he's a great he's great but why is  I mean usually these wrestling movies have like a real life wrestler he play as one  of them really who I don't recognize his fa

ce that's him that's 10 seconds he's in it  for 10 seconds oh as who I have no idea oh it was cut oh it was a cut Cameo that makes  more sense cuz I'm like I feel like I would have noticed mjf oh that's interesting he's a  very popular wrestler currently in a all right we'll look up what happened later director  Shan Durkin instructed Zach Aon to refrain from crying until the last day of shooting  when the final scene was shot wow no wonder that when I saw him cry I was like you got  be going [ 

__ ] Dam the movie makes it seem that that Mike von Eric only starts wrestling  due to David's death and car's amputation the real Mike actually made his ring debut in 1983  before both events you got to make the narrative you know I was like ah that that doesn't bother  me actually the patriarch of the Von air family died of cancer oh okay that's what happened to  him 97 at the age of 68 his firstborn son was shocked drowned in a puddle wait it say it says  five of a six so is there a missing b

rother in this did they not put a brother in this movie  right am is my math right yeah there's little Jack Jr and then there was four look there's  Chris we're missing Chris oh oh interesting oh three of them three of them un alive themselves  wow yeah holy [ __ ] damn this is worse I know I'm like whoa just like reading this to herself  just quiet like this is good so this is the G Gino Hernandez and Bruiser Brody two wrestlers  most relative to the Von Erics died that's why I was like that's

it Brody had like a horrific  death it was also I think on an episode of dark side of the ring but oh listen to this one  there's a two-year gap between the night the foot was oh interesting you got to make the narrative  that's what the coin is for I didn't pick that up I thought it was like paying the toll to get to  the other side uhhuh but it's to reference the flip the coin flip oh yeah well don't worry it'll  create engagement in the comments and they won't make it this far from while they

're comment Poli  you true so you got it wrong no actually she's not paying the to actually that's fine I didn't  pick up on it either I was like oh I I I thought it was the M of paying the toll need to have  wrestling information to pick up on that and I completely missed it I also took a Greek mythology  course so I thought you were right I was like oh a great heard that um I loved it I thought that  was I thought that was a really great movie man it really got me in the feels sometimes you kn

ow  s sit into a drama and you're like it's going to be some like slow ass boring like let's just  Hammer home the tragedy kind of [ __ ] and I was like no this is a really engaging it's just a  all in all it's a really engaging and maybe it's not the most appropriate word to say but it is an  entertaining film too you know like simultaneously yeah I think it's also entertain wrestling is  entertainment at the end of the day you know yeah that's what I mean I thought it was going  to be like slo

w moving trauma I was like it's actually also a really engaging entertaining  experience simultaneously so yeah I guess I just I craved a little bit more from Lily James  you craved a little bit more from the mom and uh that's about my only real that's my only I think  it's brilliant otherwise other than that I'm like that give me like give it like a 99% that was an  excellent film that's that's got to be one of my favorite movies of this 2023 actually I think it's  got to be one of my favorite

movies of 2023 yeah it's incredible just John Wick four right you  know how much I love generational trauma yeah and delving into why we should break generational  trauma curses so I I love this film you're here babes thanks babes I think it's perfect for us  to watch I know usually we watch like something silly it's first time I think we watch series  and it's all because I watch drling you're the perfect person to watch us with all right oh  my gosh all righty got to go check on our cats thank
