That’s what made him so great as a performer

In my opinion 1979 - 1999 was the golden era of wrestling.

Yep, at the time, fans like me had no idea that he was wrestling with such a traumatic injury. It's only years later that I started seeing that story on newsgroups, and people wondered was it just rumours. When it was confirmed as truth for all us fans, we were shocked. What an athlete to have been able to continue to perform at that level. One of the most tragic stories in wrestling history. As high school kids, we wished we could be like the Von Erichs. Such incredible highs, and unbelievable lows...

Man Dave and Kerry were awesome but when I was growing up though Kevin was my favorite, flying around like a crazy man in his bare feet doing stuff that you didn't really see in American wrestling at that time was awesome. All three of them were fantastic though and they each had their own styles, R.I.P to all the Von Erich sons, you live on in the hearts of fans and you're all missed ✝️

Same here. Kevin was always my favorite because he fought barefooted and did the acrobatic moves. E always seemed like the more reserved of the brothers as well. Mike and Chris seemed like puppies in a room full of wolves.

I was at a Thursday night football game in Minnesota at the metrodome in 1994-1995 and Ric was on the sidelines close to the seats. I ran down and leaned over the railing and yelled Mr. Flair can I shake your hand. He walked right up and put his hand out and I told him that he was my favorite wrestle ever which he is. He smiled and said thanks a lot pal. 100% pure class and the GOAT!! Love you Ric.

Great story, man. Ric Flair seems like a good guy in real life and I'm glad you got the chance to meet him. I'm 32 soon to be 33 years old and I saw The Iron Claw the other day and loved it so I've been on a wrestling history binge these past couple of days. To my shame I had no idea about the Von Erich family or their story going into the film, but the fact that Ric Flair features in it had me hyped (whoever plays him in the film portrayed him excellently, by the way). I grew up in the late 90's/early 2000's watching the likes of Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Sting, Kevin Nash, Kane, The Undertaker, Booker T and the legendary Ric Flair....Woooooo! 😂 Also, please check out The Wrestler and Foxcatcher as well. All fantastic wrestling films.

The best matchup in wrestling RF& KV

I saw a match on television, Flair vs. Kevin from Reunion Arena or one of the other buildings that World Class used and Kevin reverse pressed Flair, got the three count and, for a minute, I thought I saw the NWA World Title change hands, which was rare to see on television and then they reversed the decision based on a technicality, and that got me hooked. I tuned to WCCW every week for five years.

One thing that is great about Flair is that his character is pure ego but the man behind the character was willing to sacrifice victory not simply for the sake of a good match but also to give a crowd the result they wanted on a whim.

Great, but why talk about Kevin Von Erich, but show a picture of Kerry?

Loved The Iron Claw

I never knew that Kerry had lost his foot until after he died, but I did notice a difference in the way he moved in the ring after his accident. I never guessed that he had lost his foot, but I thought that he walked and moved differently because of the motorcycle accident. I think I thought that it had something to do with his ankle. (It was 30+ years ago and I was a teen so I don't remember exactly what I thought was different, but I know that I didn't guess that he had a prosthetic foot.)

Kerry “the Texas tornado” von Erich was that dude with or W out a boot. Not only did he have to e ability in the ring, he had that cool calm laid back demeanor.

I think Mike could have worked the midcard pretty well. Chris had no business being in the ring as a wrestler, they should have made him a manager.

Or, they could have had a cruiserweight division to let him shine. Uswa would have been trendsetters in the United States at that time with a cruiserweight division.

I’m sure the fear of the boot coming off during a match would cause massive stress.

Why on the thumbnail do you show Kerry?

Why is the cover a pic of Kerry Von Erich if this is about Kevin?

I guess I'm not understanding how Kerry could hang with Roddy. Like in what exactly? Wasn't very clear. I'm also stupid tired maybe that's it.

So mistake on the thumbnail there. Your talking about Kevin but are showing Kerry

For those of us who saw and witnessed Carry Von Erick in that Dallas saw a man in trouble yrs before he took his own life. The alcohol and drugs were a big part of the Von Ericks wrestling life, and Carry had a huge problem with both and it had taken over everything he was and did in his life. His arrogant attitude and life style was one of just go fast and live faster which ultimately led to his suicide. I watched the Von Erick family all my life and the Father was the driving force and he watch 4 of his boys die 1 by Heartache and 3 by suicide and it was sad to watch

Just watched the match again and perhaps Flair’s memory is fading because he didn’t fight off the claw at the end but Mike had him in a sleeper hold til the time ran out.

So why did he put a picture of Kerry?

After 1986 lots of wrestling territories were either shutting down or disbanding from the NWA, as basically the Jim Crockett promotion was the only NWA promotion that was fighting Vince's WWF national expansion. Also Fritz's bad decisions,such as making fans believe that Lance Von Erich was part of the family when lots of WCCW fans knew that he really wasn't a real Von Erich, and Fritz's heart attack angle, took a really bad toll on the promotion.

Yeah

Kevin was my favorite. He took zero shit in the ring.

That’s Kerry not Kevin in that pic

Video about Kevin, Pic of Kerry.

Rick was very sharp here

Kevin was my favorite Von Eric

The video title doesn't match the pic😂

Producer want to either raise maddens headset volume, or raise his mic? No reason for him to yell everything.

What was Flair talking about regarding the airplane? It wasn’t booze…

I thought his name was Kerry!

That’s Kerry

Get it together, ya drunk! Thats Kerry. Not Kevin in the thumbnail.

Madden is doing it and he loves the genre so I can’t agree with some of the criticisms of him. Madden is doing it!

That’s Kerry, c’mon Ric!

Does Madden smile and have a personality?

Mike (before the toxic shock syndrome incident) always seemed relatively capable, but from what I've read, his heart wasn't really in it. Chris on the other hand (again from what I've read) was all heart, but lacked the size, ability, and the physical health to be in the ring.

Mark, let him talk !

That is Kery von Eric

Mark Madden looks like he has to a about half a minute to process what Ric has to say.

Kevin and Kerry were identical twins, I did not know that.

Kerry

Unfortunately only Kevin is still alive

All those brothers killing themselves something must have been going on behind closed doors
