Cody Rhodes knows that there are many families adding to the legacy of pro wrestling and it’s not just his own.
The first trailer for “The Iron Claw” released this week as the film will cover the tragic story of the Von Erich family and Cody Rhodes happened to see it. Rhodes must have been impressed with what he saw as “The American Nightmare” shared the trailer himself along with the following statement paying tribute to the legacy of the Von Erich name.
“Wrestling indeed does have more than one royal family!

The Von Erichs Respond To Cody Rhodes
Just like Cody Rhodes carries on his family legacy in WWE, Marshall and Ross Von Erich do the same for their family in pro wrestling. The Von Erich brothers, who are the sons of Kevin Von Erich, have competed in Japan as well as Major League Wrestling and both took the time to thank Cody Rhodes for his tip of the cap to their family legacy.

Along with Cody, Dustin Rhodes still remains an active member of the AEW roster so wrestling families are still rich in the fabric of today’s pro wrestling.
“The Iron Claw” releases in theaters on December 22. The synopsis of the film is below.
The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made 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.
