An incredibly fascinating documentary—that even non-wrestling fans will love—Heroes of World Class Wrestling chronicles the story of wrestling’s First Family, the Von Erichs, and the rise and fall of the World Class Championship Wrestling league. Directed by Brian Harrison, who was only a ten-year-old in 1983—when the WCCW was at it’s zenith—as he watched wrestling’s eternal combat between good and evil take a sharp turn into surreal and tragic reality on his home television set. For the documentary, Harrison flew to Texas to search his childhood hero Kevin Adkisson, known to wrestling aficionados as Kevin Von Erich, the oldest and sole surviving Von Erich brother. Through first-hand accounts from Adkisson and dozens of others who proved instrumental to ascent and decline of World Class Wrestling, Harrison pays tribute to the golden years of this legendary era and its fallen stars. Heartbreaking, mesmerizing and strangely triumphant, Heroes of World Class Wresting will hold viewers spellbound in ways they would never expect.
