Former Champion Comments On Being Stunt Wrestler In The Iron Claw

A24

AEW/ROH star Shane Taylor has reflected on his experiences working as a stunt performer for The Iron Claw movie.

With A24’s The Iron Claw telling the tale of the Von Erich family, the movie featured a number of in-ring scenes.

Shane Taylor, real name Mark Shepherd, took to Instagram to point out that his names were in the credits for the movie, under ‘Stunt Wrestlers’.

Commenting on his role, Taylor noted:

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! 👊🏿💪🏿

One day #STP is walking out to the new theme by Grammy nominated producer @mikesn3l & theme song king @teasyjones at #FinalBattle the next…we in the Hollywood movies, God is good!
