This week on Under The Ring: Pro Wrestling Conversations, we're joined by Kevin Von Erich, the surviving brother of the Von Erich wrestling family. We discuss his thoughts about the movie and whether it accurately portrayed people and events, specifically his father Fritz Von Erich. We also discuss his recent trip to Israel, where the Von Erichs still have great popularity. We also discuss what it was like being in World Class and wrestling in the Sportatorium with the extraordinary cast of characters who passed through that promotion.

The Iron Claw tells the story of the professional wrestling family, the Von Erichs. Shawn and Leah just saw this film in theatres, and are here to share their thoughts on the movie, and recall their wrestling memories. Of the two, Leah is a bigger fan of wrestling than Shawn. She has met many professional wrestlers. One time, Shawn saw Hulk Hogan walking up some stairs. The bulk of Shawn's wrestling knowledge is from the mid-1980s to about 1991. Leah has had much more interaction in the world of wrestling, including going on a wrestling inspired cruise. The Iron Claw starts in the nineteen-sixties, when Fritz, a struggling wrestler, splurges on a Cadillac to foster an illusion of success, while imbuing his two young sons, Kevin and David, with a gospel of fanatical self-reliance that's also an imperative to be the “toughest” and the “strongest.” The movie's protagonist, and its occasional narrator, is the grownup Kevin, the family's oldest surviving son. Kevin's older brother, Jack, Jr., died in an accident at the age of six. Jack's death is one of the key reversals that shadows the family, leading to the pervasive, publicity-fuelled notion—one that the Von Erichs take grimly seriously—of a family curse. The heart of the drama begins in 1979, when Kevin is making a name for himself in the ring—namely, the Sportatorium, a small Dallas arena that Fritz owns and operates. “We loved wrestling,” Kevin reminisces in voice-over, and it shows, even as the rest of the movie depicts how that love was lost, along with many of the people he loved. “The Iron Claw” is as exuberant as it is mournful, and the high spirits of performance and achievement are inseparable from the price that they exact. Kevin is disciplined, focussed, and grounded; he's a vigorous and enthusiastic performer, leaping from the ropes, raging, slamming, punching, and putting on a show with the maneuver—the skull-squeezing Iron Claw—that made his father famous. But for Fritz it isn't enough that Kevin is locally successful; Fritz, who believes that he was wrongly denied the sport's heavyweight championship, lives for the day that one of his four sons—and, indeed, preferably all of them, in succession—will win that belt. Fritz's pecking order is far more than merely professional. Because his very identity—as his family's protector, the redeemer of its name and the breaker of its curse—is bound to the prospect of his sons' successes in the ring, his professional favor is also a paternal popularity contest. At the breakfast table, Fritz unabashedly announces his ranking of his four living sons, adding that the ranking “can always change.” The young men, ranging from adulthood to adolescence, are competing, above all, for their father's love. This week's podcast promo: Earth Station Trek
James Beard Wrestling Promoter & Von Erich Family Friend The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who make history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports. ean Durkin's first two features, “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and “The Nest,” have a manner that I'd describe as apologetic realism: there's something he's bursting to say, but he forces it into the confines of tightly crafted dramas. Those films have a tamped-down melancholy that hint at how much he's holding in check. He doesn't lay his voice on the line, but, by forcing his characters into frameworks with a too-clear point, he never seems to explore their lives fully, either. His third feature, “The Iron Claw” (which opens December 22nd), is different. In this group bio-pic of the Von Erich family of professional wrestlers, Durkin's brand of realism is even more rigorous, yet unapologetic. He still has plenty to say, but this time his characters do more than fit his ideas—they inspire his imagination, largely because they themselves are creators of fantasy. As presented by Durkin, the patriarch, Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany), has a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia, and he matches it with colossal dreams of vengeful success that overwhelm everyone in his life. The story starts in the nineteen-sixties, when Fritz, a struggling wrestler, splurges on a Cadillac to foster an illusion of success, while imbuing his two young sons, Kevin and David, with a gospel of fanatical self-reliance that's also an imperative to be the “toughest” and the “strongest.” The movie's protagonist, and its occasional narrator, is the grownup Kevin (Zac Efron, imposingly muscled), the family's oldest surviving son. Kevin's older brother, Jack, Jr., died in an accident at the age of six. Jack's death is one of the key reversals that shadows the family, leading to the pervasive, publicity-fuelled notion—one that the Von Erichs take grimly seriously—of a family curse. The heart of the drama begins in 1979, when Kevin is making a name for himself in the ring—namely, the Sportatorium, a small Dallas arena that Fritz owns and operates. “We loved wrestling,” Kevin reminisces in voice-over, and it shows, even as the rest of the movie depicts how that love was lost, along with many of the people he loved. “The Iron Claw” is as exuberant as it is mournful, and the high spirits of performance and achievement are inseparable from the price that they exact. Kevin is disciplined, focussed, and grounded; he's a vigorous and enthusiastic performer, leaping from the ropes, raging, slamming, punching, and putting on a show with the maneuver—the skull-squeezing Iron Claw—that made his father famous. But for Fritz it isn't enough that Kevin is locally successful; Fritz, who believes that he was wrongly denied the sport's heavyweight championship, lives for the day that one of his four sons—and, indeed, preferably all of them, in succession—will win that belt. (In real life, there were five at the time; Durkin cuts one, Chris, the youngest, out of the story.) But what does it mean for a pro wrestler to win? The movie makes the matter apparent, by way of a bit of dialogue that's dropped into the movie sweetly and aptly—in the sequence in which Kevin connects with Pam (Lily James), a determined and self-aware young autograph seeker with an ulterior motive. The scene of their meeting is one of the most charmingly written and performed romantic encounters of the year in movies (up there with the elevator encounter in “Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game,” which started the year in romance), and the date that follows is similarly witty, wry, and tender.
Twenty years ago, an iconic venue for North Texas wrestling fans, the Dallas Sportatorium, was torn down. But this month, it's coming back -- on the big screen in the movie Iron Claw.

Steve Austin chronicles his pro-wrestling journey... from his college days playing football to hanging up the cleats to attend Chris Adams wrestling school at the Sportatorium to being inspired by The Fabulous Freebirds and Von Erichs to his very first match & finish inside the squared circle, which also happened to be on live TV.
The 121 year-old Cathedral of Guadalupe in Downtown Dallas is now the only national cathedral shrine in the U.S. Throughout episode 91, the guys go through the countless records the Texas Rangers broke on their way to winning the franchise's first World Series. It took 63 years (52 in Texas), but they did it, and everyone can easily say it was worth the wait. Rangers fans, "You're not dreaming!" Just as the Catholics assisted in building the Cathedral, the famous Von Erich family assisted in building Dallas' iconic Sportatorium. The Iron Claw movie comes out very soon, so be on the lookout for the release on this incredible story set in Dallas. Lastly, the guys recap all there is to know about what happened at the State Fair of Texas this year including 2.3 million fairgoers. Don't forget to check out Crossbar Soccer + Beer in Richardson.

What'cha gonna do, Slackers!? Growing up in Connecticut meant living in the shadow of Titan Tower, aka the WWF. From Hulk Hogan, to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, wrestling has been part of my consciousness for as long as I can remember.But just like music, I always sought out any alternatives to the mainstream. This is when I discovered wrestling out of Texas, with guys like the Von Erichs and the Fabulous Freebirds…coming straight out of the world famous Sportatorium in Dallas, TX.After becoming a “lapsed fan” in the early 90's, I stumbled upon an odd show airing at 2:00AM on the local Spanish language channel: Extreme Championship Wrestling out of Philadelphia, PA. ECW! ECW! ECW! With blood, guts, profanity, and weapons galore, this crazy promotion forced the “big companies”, WWF and WCW, to move from child friendly programming into something with a little more “attitude”.Join me for this little barbed wire slice of 80's and 90's “'rassling”. It's enough to make you go, “Woooooo”!
Steve Austin chronicles his pro-wrestling journey... from his college days playing football to hanging up the cleats to attend Chris Adams wrestling school at the Sportatorium to being inspired by The Fabulous Freebirds and Von Erichs to his very first match & finish inside the squared circle, which also happened to be on live TV.

Kris & David are joined by John Philapavage (@JohnPhilapavage) to discuss the week that was January 5-11, 1996. We talk about ECW's House Party '96, which featured the farewell of Public Enemy, the return of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, the debut of Rob Van Dam, and Beulah announcing her “pregnancy” with Tommy Dreamer's spawn. Needless to say, this was a watershed show in ECW history, so we go in deep detail discussing all the major happenings in the promotion at that time. We then go to WCW to discuss Hulk Hogan's legal issues in Minneapolis, plus another Nitro in the Carolinas where Hogan gets booed heavily by the crowd. From there, talk about all the international news and results before coming back to the U.S. for the indies, where we talk about Scott Bowden having quite the day on USWA TV, the early days of IWA Mid-South, and the infamous Bodyguards vs. Bandits PPV being taped at the Sportatorium in Dallas. We then close with the WWF where Shawn Michaels gives an…interesting speech at the Royal Rumble press conference in Fresno, plus the Billionaire Ted's Rasslin' War Room skits get wild in week 2, with this one pissing off a lot of people and becoming the talk of the wrestling world. Oh, and Steve Austin's debut as The Ringmaster airs on that very same edition of Monday Night Raw.

"POLISH POWER"Ivan Putski-(Jozef Bednarski) Ivan Putski is a former professional wrestler and bodybuilder, best known by the nicknames "The Polish Hammer" and "Polish Power". Putski is a former WWF World Tag Team Champion with Tito Santana. He had a notable feud with Superstar Billy Graham over the WWF Championship, which led to many pose-downs, arm wrestling bouts, and long matches between the two. Other rivals included The Iron Sheik, Ivan Koloff, and Jesse Ventura, who would refer to Putski as "Puduski" when commentating for the WWF. Putski was the first Polish wrestler to perform in the WWF (now WWE). Putski wrestled his last match for NWA New Jersey as he defeated King Kong Bundy by disqualification on February 27, 1999. Early career (1968–1974) Putski won the NWA Texas Tag Team Championship with Jose Lothario twice in 1973.[1] Putski was a fixture on the Dallas-Ft. Worth wrestling scene and was one of its most popular personalities. He was routinely the feature act at The Sportatorium, a wrestling-only arena in an industrial section near Downtown Dallas. Putski's act consisted of being a happy-go-lucky, often aloof buffoon, who would "miraculously" pin his opponent. Putski was often introduced as a former concentration camp survivor, only adding to his sympathetic appeal to audiences of all ages. In mid-1974, Putski worked with the American Wrestling Association.[1] It his time in the AWA that Putski also first clashed with Superstar Billy Graham. Prior to leaving the AWA, Ivan dropped most of his weight by getting into bodybuilding. Ivan kept himself fairly trim at the 215 - 220 pound mark. World (Wide) Wrestling Federation (1974–1987) Putski debuted in the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) in 1974.[2] While in the WWWF, Putski feuded with many wrestlers, including Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen and Ivan Koloff.[2] On June 25, 1976 at Showdown at Shea, Putski defeated Baron Mikel Scicluna.[1][5] Four years later on August 9, Putski was again victorious at the next Showdown at Shea, defeating Johnny Rodz.[1] He also resumed his feud with Superstar Billy Graham. On October 22, 1979, Putski teamed with a young rookie Tito Santana to defeat Johnny and Jerry Valiant to win the WWF World Tag Team Championship.[1] They held the title for six months before losing it to The Wild Samoans.[2] Putski worked in the renamed World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the 1980s, primarily feuding with Roddy Piper and Sgt. Slaughter. He took a hiatus from wrestling in 1986. He soon returned to the independent circuit, also making occasional appearances in the WWF as a jobber to the stars. His last high-profile feud was in 1984 with Jesse Ventura. His final appearance was in 1987 teaming on television with Junkyard Dog and Superstar Billy Graham in tag team matches. He then retired from the sport. Other promotions (1981–1986) He began to slow down his career in the 1980s.[2] He won his last tag team championship in May 1981, teaming with Wahoo McDaniel to defeat Dory Funk, Jr. and Larry Lane for the SWCW World Tag Team Championship.[1] In November 1985, Randy Savage defeated Ivan Putski in the opening round of the Wrestling Classic.[1] Return to Wrestling (1991-1992) After his run in the WWF, several promotions, and his semi-retirement, Putski returned to the ring in 1991. Putski made an appearance for International World Class Championship Wrestling teaming with his son, Scott to defeat the Masked Iraqis. Also made an appearance for Global Wrestling Federation in 1992 teaming with Gary Young against Tom and Mike Davis in a no contest. Return to WWF (1995, 1997) In 1995, Putski was inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame class of 1995 by his son, Scott.[2] The father-and-son team returned in July 1997 to defeat Jerry Lawler and Brian Christopher on Raw is War, in what would be Putski's final match. International Championship Wrestling (1996) In 1996, he joined International Championship Wrestling, as a face. He won several matches in the company, and he was billed as a tough guy.

This week, Chris and Peter are joined by longtime friend Andrew, and we are discussing the Theme Song Madness Bracket [[Click here to see the PDF Version of the Brackets]]. If you follow 20x20 Apparel on Twitter, you will see our tournament of best wrestling theme songs, and this is your chance to vote for your favorites! Andrew joins us to dissect the brackets, region by region, song by song, matchup by matchup... and by "dissect," we mean "hammer Chris for his picks. From Cobo Hall to the Sportatorium, we cover them all. It's Andrew's first time in the studio, so we spend a little time getting to know him, his background as a trained wrestler and as a fan, and we even dust off "Whats Your Era?". Don't worry, we don't just talk Madness Brackets. Other topics that interrupt our train of thought include: how an entrance has an effect on a theme song's feeling, if classical songs make for better themes, the importance of Jim Johnston, the difference between a region and a quadrant, Nailz's place in WWE history, the road to Survivor Series 1992, an impromptu game of Name That Tune and much much more. We will be appearing at Game Changer Wrestling on March 21, and Olde Wrestling (March 28) where 20x20 will be sponsoring the world title match of Matthew Cross vs Danhausen.

After celebrating Valentine’s Day and a very sensual President’s Day, your Sports Lordz return with a new episode. This week, we begin the show with a true Hollywood story from Jimmy regarding the time he worked with Wayne Diamond on an exclusive shoot. We then speed over to talk about the Daytona 500 and President “Cheeto’s” inspiring speech as grand marshal before the race. It’s a doozy. We then shift to the ongoing scandal in Major League Baseball as players are sounding off against the Astros, commissioner Rob Manfred is failing in every way possible, and the Astros players themselves aren’t helping matters either as the season is just around the corner. We also look back at NBA All-Star Weekend and discuss the slam dunk contest controversy, Pat Connaughton making “Irish Kevin” proud, and the All-Star Game itself being a massive success. Later (53:14) we are joined by comedy legend Lorne Michaels, who drops by the Sportatorium to tell us how we all blew it with our careers, what athlete he’s waiting on to join the cast of SNL, and about his very interesting life. We say our “goodnights” to end the show with a good ol’ round of DABS (1:16:33)! This episode is brought to you by Heroin. It’s just plain good! Follow us on twitter and Instagram @SportsLordz
Welcome To 36 from the Vault! In episode 3 we explore Dick’s Picks Vol. 3. Recording at the Sportatorium in Pembroke Pines, FL, on May 22, 1977. Featuring a near complete show, we hear a “Sugaree” that’s as close to perfect as you’ll ever get, a funky “Dancing In The Street,” a “Help On The Way -> Slipknot! -> Franklin’s Tower” for the ages, and a four-song jam from “Eyes Of The World -> Wharf Rat -> Terrapin Station -> Morning Dew” that sounded like a completely different band than most expected in May 1977.Steven and Rob focus on the disco-fication of 1977 Dead, the songs that fit the era best, the importance of Phil Lesh, and the reasons why the Dead seemed to thrive in out of the way places throughout the 70’s.36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media. It is edited and produced by Brian Brinkman, and mastered by Matt Dwyer. All music composed by Amar Sastry, unless otherwise noted. Logo design by Liz Bee Art & Design.

It's 2020 and your Sports Lordz are back in our second decade of service with a brand-new episode! We start things off by looking back at Bowl season and the College Football Semifinals, where the LSU Tigers destroyed the Oklahoma Sooners, and the Clemson Tigers defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes in controversial fashion. We break down both games and discuss some of the iffy calls, but the all-tiger championship game is set for January 13th, regardless of how Buckeye fans feel about it, and we give out always reliable predictions for which Tiger will reign supreme. We then look back at a few other bowl games including Jimmy's Bulldogs taking care of Baylor in the All State Sugar Bowl, Diego's Vols finding a way to rip victory from the jaws of defeat in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, and Kevin's Fighting Irish dominant performance over Iowa St. in the Camping World Bowl. We also add to our list of fun names and say goodbye to Tua Tagovailoa who is smartly heading to the NFL Draft. We then level up to the NFL and look back at Wild Card Weekend, which truly lived up to its name as three of the four road teams won. We're especially thankful the Aints lost in painful fashion once again. You love to see it. We then wrap the week in sports with an update from Papa John who has been very active on Instagram and has set a new challenge for himself. Later, we're joined in the Sportatorium by head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick and Patriots safeties coach, Steve Belichick for one of the most unsettling interviews ever (53:45). We learn all about their relationship as father and son, what the Belichick household, and get some predictions from two genius football minds. We continue our tradition into 2020 of wrapping up another classic episode with a nice round of DABS (1:15:23)!This episode is sponsored by Booger McFarland's Yolo Froyo!

Fall is here and so is a new episode of the Sports Lordz. This week we are down a man as Jimmy is out on a personal trip of discovery, but as the old saying goes, “we still got a show to do baby!" Diego and Kevin first get into some Major League Baseball talk and recap their hometown Braves clinching the NL East title once again. From there we discuss the other teams who have clinched thus far and look ahead at the playoffs that start next week. Next we shift gears and recap another week of college football highlighted by the top 10 matchup between Jimmy’s Georgia Bulldogs and Kevin’s Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, with the Dawgs coming out on top. In discussing the game, Diego shares his method of judging coaches and encourages all serfs to try it out at as they watch games. We of course talk about the crazy UCLA-Washington St. game, Wisconsin destroying Michigan, how Auburn and LSU will challenge Alabama, and how bad Tennessee sucks and makes Diego constantly feel bad. Next we go from the amateurs to the pros and look back at another week of NFL action including friend of the pod Daniel Jones’ coming out party, the Falcons insistence on sucking, and try to figure out if anyone can beat the Patriots. As the first segment wraps up, we vary the topics and share a solution to try Popeye’s new chicken sandwich, learn that the Bud Knight is still alive, and do a quick take of the opening games in The Champions League. Later, we are joined by Senator Chuck Schumer, who stops by the Sportatorium to talk about his New York Sports allegiances, his best friend Nancy, and stories from growing up in Brooklyn.

We survived the heatwave from last week and are back with a new episode!

Then we all get excited at the idea of college football coming back into our lives soon, talk about how adding “-Vegas” to the end of SEC college towns is condescending, and Jim Harbaugh is already talking before the start his next disappointing season. We shift to talk about the NFL and their complete failure and cowardice as an organization to properly punish players of wrongdoing.

This week we come to you from the Sportatorium in Dallas Texas. After clearing up the end of last week's episode Jeremy and Bobby count down the Top Ten Regional Baby Faces in Pro Wrestling.
Stone Cold Steve Austin returns, and this time he’s talking about the origins of wrestling entrance themes, which started in the Dallas territory at the Sportatorium where Steve launched his own career. He’s also talking about the inspiration behind the Stone Cold entrance, along with some of his personal favorite songs and bands. And he’s got a great story about the KISS concert he never saw as a kid, and what happened to him at a Motley Crue show in the 80s. And if you’re wondering about those compilation CDs from back in the day, “Stone Cold Metal,” and “Stone Cold Country,” he’s got the 411 on those as well!
This week we talk glowing belts, US Championships, the relative likability of John Cena, G1 Special and so, so much more. Join us as we prepare for our pilgrimage to the Great Balls of Fire. Follow @hottagpod, @floslam and subscribe to FloSlam.tv for archives, live events, documentaries and more!
Eric Embry trained with Lou Thesz, worked the Sportatorium with the Von Erichs, booked the Memphis territory with Jerry Lawler, had a helluva 5-minute title match with Jerry Jarrett, caught some serious heat for tearing down the World Class sign inside the squared circle, learned about human nature & psychology from Gary Hart, and was one of the first to spot the "it" factor in a young Dallas wrestler named Steve Williams (aka Steve Austin). And those are just SOME of the stories you'll hear in this incredible episode.
They were the heroes of Texas wrasslin’, the legends of Dallas’ world famous Sportatorium, and the idols of millions. For a few years their star shined brighter than any in the Lone Star State before heartbreaking tragedy destroyed their empire. This week we look at part two of the triumph and tragedy of Texas’ greatest wrestling dynasty.

Steve Austin chronicles his pro-wrestling journey... from his college days playing football to hanging up the cleats to attend Chris Adams wrestling school at the Sportatorium to being inspired by The Fabulous Freebirds and Von Erichs to his very first match & finish inside the squared circle, which also happened to be on live TV.
World famous referee from World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) out of the Sportatorium in Dallas, TX joins for part 2 of my discussion with him this week on Booking The Territory. James shares a few remarkable stories about Gary Hart, the art of refereeing, the magic of the Sportatorium and the Von Erich's possibly being underpaid? Afterwards, Mike, Felix Olmedo from Pipebomb Radio, and Doc Turner take your twitter and facebook questions AND review SummerSlam!!!
This is a special episode this week for the 4th of July weekend where I had the pleasure of sitting down with former WWE/WWF superstar Del The Patriot Wilkes. Del was just on the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast a week ago and was gracious enough with his time to meet with me. I did not want to rehash that whole discussion so we talked about some new things like his love for college football and what he likes to do during football season. He also talks about his days with the Global Wrestling Federation that operated out of the Sportatorium in Dallas.
Join us for a really fun show this week. First, friend of the pod Gabe Benson (who lived in Dallas during the heyday of the Von Erichs and World Class Championship Wrestling) joins us to review The Iron Claw. Did the movie capture the spirit of the Sportatorium? What were the major positives and negatives of the film?Then, we go on to preview this Saturday's big AEW Worlds End PPV event.

Kris & David are joined by John Philapavage (@JohnPhilapavage) to discuss the week that was January 5-11, 1996. We talk about ECW's House Party '96, which featured the farewell of Public Enemy, the return of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, the debut of Rob Van Dam, and Beulah announcing her “pregnancy” with Tommy Dreamer's spawn. Needless to say, this was a watershed show in ECW history, so we go in deep detail discussing all the major happenings in the promotion at that time. We then go to WCW to discuss Hulk Hogan's legal issues in Minneapolis, plus another Nitro in the Carolinas where Hogan gets booed heavily by the crowd. From there, talk about all the international news and results before coming back to the U.S. for the indies, where we talk about Scott Bowden having quite the day on USWA TV, the early days of IWA Mid-South, and the infamous Bodyguards vs. Bandits PPV being taped at the Sportatorium in Dallas. We then close with the WWF where Shawn Michaels gives an…interesting speech at the Royal Rumble press conference in Fresno, plus the Billionaire Ted's Rasslin' War Room skits get wild in week 2, with this one pissing off a lot of people and becoming the talk of the wrestling world.
