Once in an interview withInterview Magazine, Stanley Simons opened up about Von Erich’s signature move, Iron Claw which was even used in the movie by Zac Effron’s character. Simons said,
“What I’ve come to understand is that most wrestlers, if they’re big, have signature moves. The Von Erich’s was just your hand squeezing the shit out of someone’s head. Hurts, I guess, really bad. I didn’t do it in the movie, but I definitely did it. Harris [Dickinson] did it the best, he was very dynamic with it.”
