Shane Taylor reflects on his experience as a stunt wrestler in the new movie "The Iron Claw."
The Iron Claw is a brand new movie from A24 that chronicles the story of the Von Erich family and the triumphs and tragedies that the family faced during their time in the wrestling industry.
The movie featured several real wrestlers as part of the cast, many of whom were stunt wrestlers. AEW/ROH star Shane Taylor is credited as a stunt wrestler in the movie under his real name, Mark Shepherd. On Instagram, the former Ring of Honor TV Champion reflected on the experience and working with Chavo Guerrero and the rest of the cast.
Is that @ringofhonor / @aew superstar Shane Taylor (Shepherd) in the credits of the new #hollywood blockbuster #ironclaw in theaters worldwide right now?
I do believe it is!! I had an unbelievably awesome time with the entire @a24 , & @wildkatsports crews.
Learning tons from legends like @chavoguerrerojr as I wade into the waters of this acting/stuntwork game.
Being able to sit down and talk to incredible performers like @zacefron about his journey and our crazy world of professional wrestling was invaluable.
Thank you to man who made it happen as well in @lukehawx504 I appreciate you G! --------
