Awesome job bro. I always loved seeing Kerry in the ring when I was a kid. I didn't know the story of the von erichs until much later in life you did a great job covering it man.

Thank you so much!

Your comment about Kevin's desire to protect his father's legacy is likely very true. In the WWE DVD about World Class, Kevin makes a remark about "Everyone wants to tell the story like big mean ol' Fritz beat up his kids and made 'em wrestle". Well he may not have beaten them up, but I believe he damn sure made them wrestle. Great job guys. Your narration has elements of what made James Guttman's WorldWrestlingInsanity website good, like the willingness to inject humor and sarcasm, within appropriate reason, into your scripts. I shared Part 1 with a friend of mine, and now he's a subscriber too. Keep 'em coming!

Yeah I agree I think while the boys certainly emulated their father, he most definitely pressured and pushed them way too much. I really appreciate the support and sharing it so much thank you!!

I've always likened Fritz Von Erich to Joseph Kennedy, Sr. Joseph Kennedy wanted each of Sons to grow up and become The President of The United States. Fritz Von Erich wanted his sons to become The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) World Heavyweight Champion! . While Fritz has a run as The American Wrestling Association (AWA) World Heavyweight Champion, he never had a run as The NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I also believe that Fritz did pressure his Sons to become Professional Wrestlers.

i apppreciate your hard work. great presentation and style!

As a native Dallasite who was born after the heyday of the Von Erichs....the story of the Von Erich family always fascinates me. My father has recounted about the few times my grandfather would take him to the old Dallas Sportatorium. A part of me wishes I'd been able to witness it myself. I've even watched a number of old WCCW matches. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Kevin. Strong man. May God Bless him and all his fallen brothers as well as Fritz and Doris. Texas Legends indeed.

I know exactly how you feel I was born in WCCW’s downward spiral so I never got to see the glory days as they were happening When I was watching this the first time, the scene with everyone walking up to the Sportatorium really made me wish I could have lived and witnessed it first hand. WCCW was groundbreaking for their time, their shows honestly are still really good.

Damn only 1.2k subs that’s crazy

Somebody needs to splice in segments of the Gary Hart RF video shoot with this footage.

I can really relate to what Kevin von Erich says about grief because in May 17th of 2018 I lost somebody and it feels like I'm missing a piece of my body she was my twin sister Angie Valenti it does not ever get better grief does not ever go away but yeah you do you get better

Thanks! 😀 again just like your other post I’m going to point out the irony of someone clutching their pearls over someone being “disrespectful” or calling someone an asshole when they themself are the one who brought the disrespect initially

Men, if you wanna know how much the female fans were attracted to the Von Erichs, search Lacy Von Erich. It's genetic

Marcus, she also shows that in-ring talent isn't genetic. She's hot but that's all.

Leaving a suicidal sibling alone in the woods is indicative of Kevin's intelligence level. Just the facts.

While yes fritz wasn't the ONLY reason for the downfall of the family, he was the main one. He was a bad person and father. Plain and simple.

I didn't think the guy that played Rik Flair was that bad.
