About to go on a little rant here but you can tell most WWE fans don't watch AEW as so many last night bashed AEW for not promoting "The Iron Claw" as WWE actually had ads during their broadcast of "Smackdown" for the movie now being on Max. Now, I love that WWE is finally promoting the movie as they didn't at all when it was in theaters. However, AEW actually promoted the movie back in December when it was first released. They even had Kevin and his sons Marshall and Ross on there, and the sons actually have had multiple AEW and ROH matches (the most recent in February in a trios match with Dustin Rhodes). AEW also talked about the movie during the commentary for those matches, they showed the trailer multiple times during the ad breaks, mentioned how MJF and Ryan Nemeth were in the movie, the various wrestlers at AEW posted online when they saw the movie, and even when Will Ospreay fully joined AEW a lot of us fans realized and posted across social media how he and Harris Dickinson could pass for brothers, especially how Harris looked as David but also when they were both young starting out in wrestling & acting. Both companies should be promoting the movie as it was amazing and all wrestling fans should watch it. But to say that AEW didn't isn't true at all. Plus, it get some being baffled that AEW didn't show ads this past Wednesday during "Dynamite" about the movie being on Max, which is owned by WBD just like TNT/TBS is, but I actually expect it tonight during "Collision/Rampage" since the movie just only showed up on Max yesterday. Just seems it's being used as another excuse to bash AEW when again now both companies have promoted the movie now.

I really love the Von Erichs but The Outrunners are just so delightful that I can’t help but root for them. I just want them to win everything all the time.

So after reading more about the Von Erichs and rewatching a lot of their old matches I realized they cut another part of their story but I totally get why as before the movie started in 1979 David's first marriage had just ended and he moved back home. But not only that his baby daughter had also passed from SIDS the year before. His ex-wife likely is still alive and didn't want that depicted in the movie but now I know when I re-watch it I'm going to know that really happened just like how they also cut the youngest brother Chris, David's 2nd wife Trisha, and Kerry's daughters out of the movie too. I do think if this had been a miniseries they would've told it in full so I get why they did this with the movie and how tragic it all is and how good the movie turned out but there also was more of a focus on Kevin. Plus, it changes that scene with David finding out Kevin's going to be a dad. Also have a spoilerly thought too but makes me wonder how Harris would've handled that additional storyline, same with Jeremy playing Kerry as a father too.

For those that saw the movie the ending where Kerry reunited with his brothers in heaven it made me think of how Chris would've been there too as well as David's baby daughter. It would've been even more emotional than it was. 😭
