From Taylor on Instagram: 

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! ——–
