They were both amazing performers. David truly was spectacular at such a young age. It's a shame he was taken from us too early. Flair was incredible, as always. I love how they did this match. It was extremely competitive, but David just kept one-upping Flair, really building the impression that David was the next big thing.

Rocky Dennis wasn't ever getting the belt for more than a week. Looked goofy, no physique, lanky, shit in his teeth. Wouldn't have drawn a dime outside dallas.

@markt8475 6 ай бұрын

To put this into perspective, David was about 23 here having a match with the greatest of all time. If David lived he'd have gone down as one of the best ever.

I agree, he was big in St. Louis too, went over really well. Had nothing to do with his father. He really had it.

Texas heat! Great psychology. Made us believe. Being a kid in Texas w World Class & MidSouth was awesome. David would've been a great Worlds champion; Kerry was greatness just couldn't overcome his addictions.

You really see how tall Dave was in this match. If he would have worked out more he would have gone right to the top. My favorite Von Erich.

Ric Flair has high praise for David Von Erich. You can tell he really admired him. Says he could have been the world champion. Flair feels that of all the Von Erich’s, David was the best. Great interviews with Flair on the Von Erichs here on You Tube.

@Thunderstruck5150 2 ай бұрын

Yes, according to Flair and others, David was the best wrestler. Kerry and Kevin were athletic and great physiques that carried them.

If David von Erich would have lived. Not only would he've been one of the greatest of all time. But I could see him right now retired and taking over his dads business

I agree! We would be looking at the Von Erich’s running all of wrestling instead of Vince McMahon.

The 2-hour Saturday Night Wrestling/Championship Sports promotion from Fort Worth was consistently a better TV product than the syndicated WCCW/Dallas version…despite the latter making them famous nationwide.

So david would have changed wrestling? LMAO yeah ok, the von erics were a joke. They were horrible on the mic and would have failed in any other company long term. Daddy had to create their alleged greatness and outside of texas they failed as favorites.

@derekgarcia1030 You are right!!! They were meatheads!!! Total bush league!!! Kerry was the dumbest one of all, then Kevin and Mike was like a zombie!!! They weren't the redest apples on the tree, that's forsure. I live in Ft. Worth, and I would go every MO day night in the 80's to see the Freebirds!! They were the best, not the dope filled Von Eric's!!! David was a drunk, and a huge pill head! So sad!!🥶💯😳

You had to experience this in person . The audience would become rabid animals. My dad was a police officer who worked secondary as security and these wrestlers had to be protected as the crowd threw chairs, assaulted the police, it was like the OK corral. I sat in the stands as a 12 year old on the edge of my seat. These guys deserve so much more. Like Rick says, it wasn’t fake, it was choreographed. There’s a difference. RIP the Von Erichs

holy fuck is this good. no need for a clean finish, so.they don't do one. guess david airballed the blade try after going into the post. sometimes post-match schmazzes like this look dumb, with guys breaking away from like 10 other wrestlers to continue the fight. but this looks believable. flair going after kerry on his crutches is just great.
