"Zac Efron (who plays the lead role of Kevin Von Erich) is just so cool. I had an image of actors playing professional wrestlers as thin and macho, but all the actors in this movie have good muscle mass. There were no unnatural moves at all. Chavo does a good job, and I wanted to bring Zac Efron to New Japan Pro-Wrestling," he said to Tokyo Sports.

Chavo Guerrero Jr played The Shiek and was the film's primary wrestling consultant.

Efron starred as Kevin Von Erich in the film. Jeremy Allen White stars as Kerry Von Erich and Harris Dickinson plays David Von Erich.

Jeremy Allen White commented that he would wrestle, but only if Efron and Dickinson were alongside him.
