I truly hope he's found a measure of peace. Kevin deserves that. Definitely a better person than I would be when McMahon came to see him. Selling WCCW's media archives might have set Kevin free. But in his shoes, I'd have told Vince to piss off when it came to the Hall of Fame. Not much good came from the Von Erich "legacy" & pretty much destroyed his parents & family. But he was a bigger man I'd ever would be.

The Von Erich curse was caused by Fritz pretty much trying to become The Jackson 5 of wrestling, pushing each son to the absolute limit and demanding ONLY Perfection from each of them while ignoring the obvious stress it put on each son, which caused them to develop dangerous habits that would lead to their deaths/suicides

[@Tornado1994]

Exactly.

[@zenmastakilla]

Well said.

[@RealDaveTalk]

The only Jackson what broke away from Joe was Michael. Michael wanted to do his own thing, the same thing with David who broke off from his father

[@joegonzalez397]

Agreed definitely not a curse, just a combination of bad/selfish parenting, fame and living a stressful life. Wrestling in those days took alot out of you. That alone would put you on drugs. Combine that with the father wanting perfection and the brothers trying to top each other, not going to play out well.

[@lewisaino]

Yeah, at least Bret and Owen decided what they wanted whatever the outcome may be while Von Erichs was like do it or you are not my son.

[@DawnDubin]

On a happier note, I can remember when Kerry and his family would have groups of special needs kids out to his Ranch for the day because my cousin was one of those kids. They all had so much fun. It's something they'll remember always. His support and involvement with the special Olympics was awesome for the athletes, because he made them all feel so proud. Can anyone remember any of that good, or just something else happy? They may have been cursed, but they were a blessing while we had them down here.

[@1survivor566]

There was more than one factor. So I feel like blaming Fritz for everything is unfair. But he did make mistakes which led to a snowball effect of problems. I'm sure it wasn't his intention to drive his kids that far. He just wanted success for them like any parent would. This is just a really sad story. I often wonder what would have happened had David lived.

[@matthewjones1353]

I feel like they were just selfish prima donnas who couldn't handle life's hard times. Why after seeing a brother or two take their own life and seeing the affect it had on loved ones including yourself, would you put them through more pain and anguish by dying the same way? It's just cowardly in my opinion. Fritz just wanted his sons to achieve in life and when they felt they disappointed pops, instead of saying "Maybe this isn't the life for me dad" took the easy way out and destroyed the whole legacy of WCCW and their family.

[@twf2000]

This is by far the best wrestling related channel on KZbin and this series is the reason why. Thank you for doing these.

[@AzureRoxe]

A father forcing his sons to be perfect would've always backfired. Fritz forcing them to do so much when they were clearly getting overwhelmed is why this whole thing happened.

[@crystalevans2123]

I think that if Kerry had retired from wrestling, he would have kept his foot and none of this would have happened. But he probably never got the chance. I think that Mike and Chris should have never been in the ring in the first place. They should have been allowed to develop their own interests. From what I understand, Mike was a decent rock-n-roll guitarist. He could have developed that into a well-paying gig.

If Kerry Von Erich Had Gotten Hulk Hogan's Spot? officialfan.proboards.com/thread/508304/kerry-erich-gotten-hulk-hogans?page=3 Post by Madison Carter on Sep 17, 2014 at 5:27pm Even without the cocaine/drugs, Kerry wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. He also didn't politic a lot; that's what his dad was for, and without Fritz there, he'd be lost. He was unreliable, didn't show up all the time and would have likely become homesick very quickly.

The Von Erich brothers could have more success outside of Texas and worldwide in different companies if allowed too, but the fault of this not happening was of their father. He just wanted to left them stay in Texas and do their career there, that was his biggest mistake

[@CobaltTheCrusader]

I know that most people think that David Von Erich was the best out of all the brothers but my vote still goes to Kerry. That dude was a better worker with one foot than most people could even hope to be. Seriously check out his matches against Mr.Perfect or his appearance at Survivor Series as part of The Ultimate Warrior's Team against Mr.Perfect and Demolition. One of the most underrated Survivor Series matches of all time no do in small part by Kerry and Hennig's stellar ring chemistry. It's a damn shame that they had to be plagued by nonstop set backs, drug addiction, and an overbearing patriarch. I don't fully blame Fritz for all of this but I do blame him for Chris' death. Afterall, the immense pressure he put on his sons to be top performers had to weigh hard on the smallest brother of the bunch. There was no way his small frame and asthma was going to make him a future NWA champ. One could make the case that Chris' suicide caused a chain reaction, though.

Exploitation of dead wrestlers in WCCW officialfan.proboards.com/thread/504111/exploitation-dead-wrestlers-wccw Post by tafkaga on Jul 20, 2014 at 11:23am Mike Von Erich's brain was semi-fried by a fever that almost killed him, but Fritz let him get back in the ring anyway and turned his near-death into a "most inspirational wrestler of the year" type thing. I'm sure Fritz didn't look at it as exploiting, but in hindsight it could be seen that way. You could say the same thing about the David Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions, which held the record of the largest attendance for any wrestling event until that record was broken by WrestleMania III. The WCCW tragedies took a heavy toll on the promotion, but Fritz's "the show must go on" mentality certainly didn't help matters. I'm not one who subscribes to the myth that Fritz lorded over his sons and made them become wrestlers, but I think that the boys ended up becoming wrestlers largely because that was Fritz's singular focus and the most powerful thing he instilled in them. I hope that his boys, especially Mike and Chris, knew that they didn't have to succeed in wrestling for their father to be proud of them, but I'm not sure that they did. Post by cabbageboy on Jul 20, 2014 at 8:43pm The more you read about Fritz the more of a monster the man sounds like. In fact early today I thought about the whole David Memorial show and how creepy it was that this company drew its biggest gate because one of its top stars died and his own father exploited it. I even recall a WWF show on 24/7 from 1984 where they took time out to do a 10 bell salute for David, and that was shocking for WWF of that era to acknowledge another promotion's wrestler. In a way I would have hated to have been a WCCW fan in the 80s and watch as a promotion that had such massive potential just became a shell of itself since its wrestlers all died and the promoter took zero steps to reign any of them in (or get them help) before it was too late.

[@ricksolis3942]

[@user-nj3lg7wi5r]

The curse was not real on the Von Erich family; the whole tragedy was all because of Fritz Von Erich. You know the moral of the story: learn to love yourself first before sincerely loving anyone else. The Von Erich father did not love himself like he did not love his kids, resulting in family drama.

The Mike Von Erich tragedy is the reason I stopped watching World Class with my dad. I remember it all to well how they played it off as an angle, but in reality they already knew he was dead. Well it didn't take long for word to get out that Mike had committed suicide, and that was it for my dad. My dad said the Von Erich's were trash and we never watched them in the house or talked about them again. I still followed World Class from time to time when I could at my friends, or read about them in the sheets, but that was pretty much the end for all intensive purposes because we only had one TV and he wouldn't allow it to be on.

[@terrinsenez6183]

Great content and very well organized. I'm late to the game but I just discovered the the Von Erichs with the new movie coming out this Dec. I spent the last 48 hours reading about this family tragedy. As individuals, we have family, friends, work and hobbies, when things go wrong in one area you can vent or relieve stress in another area to think things through or get fresh perspectives but it was obvious with these boys/young men there was no outlet, no room for other conversations at the dinner table except wrestling. And yes when a parent pushes their children to pursue their own interests not allowing them to find their way, it mostly ends badly. To me there was no curse, but instead a patriarch who didn't allow his children to be children and individuals but rather exploited personal problems for attention of strangers.

I haven't seen the Iron Claw movie, but Chris apparently, isn't even mentioned let alone featured. I don't know if it's because there's only so much o the Von Erich family story that you could tell within a two hour window, or having to discuss his own death would've brought down an admittedly, already heavy story for causal viewers.

I have to agree that it was a curse. Not all curses are the text book definition. Their lives were always going to lead them to the road they were on and other people decisions over their lives made their endings inevitable. We all have a time and place and a reason for our deaths and when other people's pressure puts you their, isn't it a curse. It is hard for some people to admit it but other people do influence our lives greatly and too often it is in a negative way.

Mike Von Erich was tall and lanky. Very similar to David. After his bout with toxic shock syndrome he went from a muscular 220 lbs to 140 lbs . He was nothing but skin and bone. He was recovering well and was nearly back to his fighting weight when got busted twice for pot. His fans didn't care, but he felt like let everyone down. If Fritz had turned him heel.it would have put Mike over and the heat of a Von Erich vs Von Erich feud would have been legendy.

Wrestlemania do next. The rise and fall of Chyna.

Liz Patino That would be excellent! Such a great and positive story of success, which ends in a terrible tragedy. Good shout Liz!

Can’t blame nobody bt fritz

[@TheDixiedreamgirl]

This was my favorite USA wrestling family back in the day!!!! The Harts were my favorite Canadian wrestling family. You know that Fritz was trained in the Dungeon in Canada. Kevin still remembers those days, because he watched his father train in the Dungeon.

Thank you for sharing brother this is absolutely fantastic

[@Hilversumborn]

I honestly believe this might have been your best so far.

[@2beanburritos]

wait so youre telling me kerry commit suicide by shooting himself in the chest? im sorry but thats a red flag to me, nobody shoots themselves in the chest when trying to kill themselves, thats murder and the only man i can think of that would be heartless enough to do that was fritz

[@thanksgivingmcdaniels3335]

No, it's not unheard of at all. Junior Seau, the NFL star, is another one who did it. Has to do with things like vanity, wanting an open casket funeral, in a twisted way wanting to lessen the horror for the family, etc.

[@Miracle122485]

I had a close friend who shot himself in the chest. :(

[@musicandme1982]

This is just so sad

[@stevewarren4813]

I remember the "Kerry losing his foot due to wanting a cheeseburger" story from an interview with Kevin.

[@burnthetrolls5971]

[@PainByFaith]

U all may think I'm dumb for this,but I think its all Fritz's fault

[@TheJoec2005]
