Did you watch Iron Claw? Thought that was a pretty good wrestling movie (though it is a major bummer)

I did, loved it mostly, but... they literally erased a brother. There was another one, and he was even more tragic than the one they kept - he was small, and had extremely brittle bones, and the only thing he wanted was to wrestle, of course... and they let him, and he got put out by injury very quickly, and then followed his dead brothers.

I think they cut him out because first off, it would probably have come off to audiences as "overdone" or something because it is difficult to countenance that much tragedy on one family. But also, the ones who were alive to allow that last one to happen bear some culpability in his death. He should've been sent to distant relatives and kept completely away from the family wrestling cult.
