Step into the pro wrestling ring with Baron von Raschke and he’ll recount his journey from shy Nebraska Olympic hopeful to international infamy. The director-producer tag team of Minneapolis-based film director Philip Harder and von Raschke’s only son Karl have created a documentary unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Using family Super 8mm footage, interviews, and raucous re-creations of real events, this sometimes-bloody-but-shockingly-tender movie follows the Baron as he steps into his memories and takes you back to the Golden Age of professional wrestling when Baron von Raschke (aka “The Claw”) reigned supreme. Featuring never before seen interviews with Mad Dog Vachon, The Destroyer, Krusher Kowalski, Greg Gagne and others who know the real story behind The Claw. This feature length film has wide appeal. Whether you’re just curious about the wacky world of wrestling or a hardcore fan, The Claw will surprise and delight you.
