On a recent edition of his “Something to Wrestle” podcast, WWE executive Bruce Prichard discussed the greatly maligned performance of Aaron Dean Eisenberg as Ric Flair in the “The Iron Claw” movie.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Eisenberg as Ric Flair: “Look, man, it’s a movie. It was a drama. It was a drama about a tragic family that just dealt with one hit after another after another after another. The Ric Flair guy was awful. I think you could have found about 100 more that could actually do, ‘Wooo!’ and actually do Ric.”
On the Von Erich story being a tragic one: “It was just a tragic story and that’s the way you have to look at it going into it. If you’re going into it for a wrestling movie, you’re going to the wrong movie. And if you’re looking for facts, you’re going to the wrong movie.”
