Full description:
The Von Erichs may be synonymous with Dallas, but their fame and popularity spans the globe. Before the days of nationally televised promotions, wrestlers would travel from territory to territory to build their fanbase and reputation, encountering a different style and vibe in every area. Kerry, Kevin, and David Von Erich traveled all over to solidify the Von Erich reputation, but their time spent in St. Louis is often overlooked. Promoted by Sam Mushnick, and known for the legendary “Wrestling At The Chase” television show, St. Louis was where to go to prove you were a true wrestler’s wrestler and could hang with the sport’s finest athletes. Could the three Von Erich brothers fit the bill? From the historic Chase Ballroom to Kiel Auditorium and the Checkerdome, check out some of the Von Erichs’ most historic battles in the “Gateway to the West” and judge for yourself!

I work in downtown St. Louis and haven't been robbed or shot yet. Your memory is also fuzzy- crime in the 1980s is St. Louis was even higher than it is now.

I wonder what Flair’s wife at the time Beth thought about this…

[@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8]

I think that's actually her

[@oldschoolfan420]

She later divorced him and took half his stuff. Ric should have never married if he going to live like that.
