But why did he take his clothes off?

@@flaminhotyoshi7403to show kerry he also doesn’t give a fuck about what other people think he was probably high

I met Mr. Hot Rod back in 88 or 89 in Baton Rouge LA. Hacksaw Jim Dugan introduced me to him, cause I was a huge fan. I grew up boxing and in 89 was trying to push for the Olympics in 92, which was going to be in Barcelona. Roddy Piper was a funny guy man and something oh a legend. Well to me anyways. I wanted to meet Hulk Hogan but that dude was and still from what I understand a prick. I think one of the coolest wrestlers I had ever met was years after he retired and that None other than J.Y.D!!!! Mr. Junk Yard Dog was a character man. He sat there at my job and told us stories of him and Dugan wrestling. As far as me boxing. Yeah I messed it up playing backyard baseball with my brother and our friends. I was pitching and tore my rotater cuff. I never got back the want to in boxing after that. Anyway it's good to hear about the stories these guys tell. It was a very hard life for them and they had to preform almost 3 times a week for 51 weeks out of the year. Between trying to Juggle a family for some, weight lifting, driving all over the states, living in different hotel rooms almost every night and then preforming. These guys were true athletes based off of everything they did before stepping into a ring. Take care and sorry for this being so long. It just brings back so many memories.

Not just wrestling but in American history.

Not just wrestling

RNC, did you come up with this yourself?

It's definitely up there along with Owen Hart's fall and Chris Benoit's double murder and suicide, just awful tragedies period

+14DaveHunter Flair let drugs kill his son Reid.

I never said Flair wasn't a hypocrite. Pro-wrestling has had it's share of them.

14DaveHunter number one half that is true jack jr and David didn't have drug problems as far as ric goes he has no reason to judge Chris and them and so everyone nos jack was a great father

I half agree. Besides the drugs , they took their lives knowing that they wouldn't be able to do what they loved dearly.........wrestling.

Flair is right but he should say that about himself. Look at all the kids of these "successful" people they put money, fame, and women above their kids and wives. Fritz was obviously one of those. Sometimes you see people with 3 or 4 kids and one might be messed up on drugs or needs mental health help but to have most of your kids messed up comes back on you the parent

I heard he was a helluva football player too

his sons are a good tag team

true survivor

What a stupid ignorant thing to say

I think if you went up to Kevin Von Erich and told him you admired him for not "taking the easy way out like some of your brothers," you might quickly find out that's not the compliment you think it is.

And it seems that she lost a brother, David Smith, when he was just 15. Jack Jr is buried next to him. AND a grandchild from her son David(if I'm not wrong) who died in infancy. Whew! Doris is as strong as a lion. Stronger actually. I wish she had gone around the country giving talks at those organizations that are made up of parents who lost children. She sure would have been a comfort to many.

She should of stuck by her husband. He suffered just as much as her and then had to go through his wife leaving him.

@@Ijustinsultedyou She did stick by him.

@@rae-everything oh yeah? she must’ve went missing the last 6 years of Fritz’s life.

@@IronMike212 Fritz von Erich was controlling, and critical. And, after all the trauma they went through... I'd say that counts as "sticking by him". Hell, Fritz even mocked the last surviving son on his deathbed per Kevin's own words. She tried.

Fritz was a horrible father

It was more than that

His bones where too fragile and susceptible to suffer heavy injuries or ending broken even with the most simple wrestling maneuver.

You are so right Great name both inspiring and taunting is there a challenge in this 🔥🤠

I also feel the worst for this young fella. To grow up in the shadow of your father, and 4 other brothers, all of whom you idolize more than anything, but to not have the physical tools to be like them, must have been devastating. It's just too bad, they couldn't get him steered towards something meaningful outside of the business, that could have given him purpose and a passion for life.

Yeah. As far as physique went, he was starting to get as ripped as Kerry but his disease was just too much

He did wrestle dumbass

He couldnt wrestle. He had brittle bones, and when he tried to wrestle, broke his arm. There was no way he would be able to do it on a regular basis.

Like I said in a previous video, that may be so but darn it he gave it his all!

Dena Hall hello, I use to go see the von erichs wrestle live in Texas all the time, miss those days, they were all awesome wrestlers, and awesome people

No you didn’t

I think David was murdered for some Reason to be honest... I don't know why but I think he was intentionally killed... Why didn't David go to the hospital if he had stomach problems? What he supposedly died from is very painful? Why was David alone and it was proof Brody flair and alot more wrestlers were on that tour also...? 🤔. The entertainment business is very wicked wrestling is the same as a actors in Hollywood... If you don't do what your told or you don't make the sacrifices or keep quiet you will die.... I believe David was sacrificed that his dad had something to do with it....

@@lmuriilo5803 he took pills washed them down with jack

Both David von erich and Chris Benoit different deaths remain shady somewhat to this day as we will never know what truly happened to them in their 🏡 or 🏨 rooms

@@ryuride8499 sure

@@lmuriilo5803 GTFO WITH THAT SHIT

And your point

Wish coming true!! December 22nd, 2023.

Yeah I think so...only Kevin is living... Mike looked so much like David

@@ladygemini5967 Mike & Kevin looked alike David looked liked his dad and Kerry looked exactly like a male version of his mother! But all of them had their mothers head shape... Your welcome

Uh if anyone looks like Kevin it is Chris!

I have often thought the same thing, had David not died things would have been different. I think the same could be said of Jack though, had he not died as a child the entire family dynamic would have been different.

100% agree. His death was the catalyst for all the other Von Erich's dying (aside from Kevin). If David didn't die, Mike probably would've ended up behind the scenes like he wanted to. God knows what would've happened to Chris, I still think he would've tried to enter the business unfortunately.

HellhammerSS yes, and he wrestled with a fake foot, do to a motorcycle accident in argyle Texas then too

You really just gave us some inside information on that ground breaking news

The next generation doesn't have Fritz. I think they'll be ok.

@@tafua_a fritz didn't do anything

Yes Kevin told the story of His dad pulling a gun on him after all his brothers were dead... Kevin thought he was really gonna kill me so he ran... I think the dad had alot to do with those boys being killed like that.... Even Kerry's daughter said she has secrets but Kevin would kill her if she talked! Come on now 5-6 of your kids die? They don't look too sad in the video and Chris died a month before they shot this video?🤔

@@lmuriilo5803 Kevin would KILL her? ! seriously! wow.

Hell Undertaker Should've Been In The Legends Of Wrestling Games

They are bigger then any WrestleMania are legends of wrestling 💪

The saddest quote that sums up the Von Erichs.

It Wouldn't Be Long Until Undertaker Gets Himself Killed By His Psycho Wife For No Reason -___- Bullshit Like This Makes Me Question Humanity Altogether

He was actually over in Japan at the time and did die over there.

He did die in Japan but had not wrestled a match yet on that tour.

he died from drug overdose.. it had been coverd up by certain people.. seen a doc about is somewhere

Flair said it in his book and stated that Bruiser Brody flushed the evidence down the toilet so it wouldn't attract media attention and so that Doris wouldn't know her son had a drug problem.

it was a bowel disorder not a drug overdose

Owen was WWE sacrifice... I believe Bret and everyone knows it was....

Kevin doing better he got nice home in Hawaii. Invested in real estate buisness got himself together n his boys are now in wrestling along with Kerry daughter so give curse bullshit a rest death is part of life . Kevin was strongest one

On Vice's Dark Side Of The Ring, Kevin is shown still climbing trees with his amazing agility for a 60+ year old man.

Chris Adkisson.

romeo valentine I know how Kevin must feel, losing all of his brothers, I lost my only sister in 2017 in a car crash , I know he missed them dearly, Kevin said once I'm not even a brother anymore, but like my sister, they will live on forever in his heart

Chris probably wanted it more than anything but just lacked the physical tools. Mike, I understand, just never really wanted to be in the business...but, he knew it was expected of him.

@@jarvisyoung8350 Mike wanted nothing to do with the business. Even after nearly dying from toxic shock syndrome he was forced back into the ring where he was never the same physically as a wrestler & to boot he was not that good to begin with. Then once the legal troubles started to mount he couldn't take it and killed himself. Mike knew his little brother wanted to be a wrestler but knew the pressure that would come from it from fans and more so Fritz. So when Mike left his scuba gear to Chris in one of the fins he left a bottle of the same drugs that killed him to Chris with a note that read something to the effect of "For whenever you're ready". He knew Chris would crumble under the same pressures he did but Chris decided to shoot himself in the head instead of intentionally overdosing.

@@jarvisyoung8350 I wish Mike was selfish enough to just push them away. Would've been alive still if he wasn't so obedient to his fathers wishes.

Yep. The "Von Erich curse" was Fritz, simple as that.

David was Bulimic. He took painkillers to hide the Stomach problems his eating disorder was causing. He died on Friday February 10,1984 from a Hydrocodone overdose in Tokyo,Japan. Mike underwent shoulder surgery on August 3,1985 in Tel Aviv, Fritz is believed to have forced him immediately back into training before he could recover, which led to him developing Toxic Shock Syndrome which deteriorated his mental state. Finally on Sunday April 12,1987 after feeling so much pressure and stress from his father from the Angle exploiting his condition, Adkisson overdosed on a Sleeping Drug Placidyl, he was survived by his young wife of 2 years Shani, Brothers Kerry,Kevin and Chris and parents Jack and Doris. Chris Von Erich tried to make it in the ring, but his short stature and brittle bones made Wrestling a Pipe Dream for Baby Chris. In 1991, he auditioned for WWF under the Gimmick "The Crane", after being bullshitted by Vince McMahon several times, he was finally formerly turned down for being lightweight(Lightweight Divisions didn't exist yet). Fearing failure of his planned October 1991 set audition for WCW as "Crybaby Chris"(A gimmick inspired by the '90 Johnny Depp Musical Crybaby), 22 Year old Adkisson walked into his Parent's Thicket in Denton,TX on the morning of Thursday September 12,1991, placed a Revolver to his temple, and pulled the trigger. On February 15,1993, 33 year old Kerry "Texas Tornado" Adkisson, who was on leave from WWF(He was the only Von Erich to make it to WWF), A Dallas,Co judge threw the book at him on prior Drug possession charges, and a DUI and sentenced him to 6 years in prison. He was ordered to being serving his sentence on February 19th, facing the ruined legacy of his Family, a bitter divorce risking him being able to see his two young daughters, Adkisson on February 18th decided to join his brothers by walking behind his Parent's thicket, and placing a 9MM to chest and pulling the trigger.

Tornado1994 thanks for the information. I only went to one live wrestling match back in the 80's, my sister-in-law's brother had tickets to see Kerry wrestled & he invited me. The fans went wild when Kerry came behind the current. The fans truly adored him. He actually won that match, too, but couldn't remember the guy he wrestled against.😗

Kerry was facing a lot of prison time for drugs. I think getting toxic shock syndrome did a number on Mike's self confidence, and I think Chris just though he'd never measure up to his dad and brothers.it

We know

Anna Thomas That is true. It's on the wccw documentary done by an independent filmmaker and huge wccw& von erich fan.

Well, he is the one who found Kerry.

He had brain cancer at the time. He was out of his mind at the time.

I just said that myself a male version of her for sure

Soo many different stories.. I think David was murdered to be honest with you... I think they were all killed... Kevin's story always sounds different.... Kerry von Eric's daughter said in a interview that there was alot of abuse and more to there story than what they say but Kevin would kill her if she went public

That´s what the family told the press. David like his brother Kerry was drug addicted and he is likely to have died from accidental drug overdose instead of a kick in the stomach. Above all David died in his hotel room in Japan the night before he was to wrestle there. So a match inflicted kick in Japan (as his family always stated) has never happened.

@@LordOfTheBored David died of a Hydrocodone Overdose.

He died from taking prescription drugs and Socky wine

I think that was a misunderstanding. Somehow that rumor got circulated into fact that a lot of people believed. The fact is David hadn't wrestled a single match yet. The morning he was supposed to go to the arena to prepare for the night's bout is when he was found dead by the All Japan promoter and Bruiser Brody.

David didn't die from Cocaine. He OD' on Hydrocodone. And was actually Bulimic.

She loses almost every one of her sons before she goes, her and Fritz were in some big time denial. But I did know a person who lost her three kids before her time and she just went to church and read the bible to get her through.

I was thinking the same thing, she seems overly smiley and happy at such sad personal tragedies that have happened in her life, It's uncomfortable to watch, she's obviously turned to God to get her through it.

We do have live on rude it's not rude it normal

We all cope differently with death, but her reaction was very cold and odd. She just seemed like the type of person to ignore all the reasoning behind their deaths and just be like "well at least we're happy". Like, no... that is quite possibly the worst reaction to have about the whole situation.

Except Jack Jr. who died of accidental electrocution. That family was just plan cursed.

No there is still one living

Kevin is still living

But David Died wit a stomach

One of them shot themself so stop acting like u know it all

What makes you think that ? Elaborate

+HarleyFace The mom smiling was kind of creepy and so was Kevin smiling at the end after mentioning being 6 feet deep.

Somebody hurting deep down can't be creepy or weird? Maybe eerie is a better word?

One of the Fantastics mentioned the cat story in a shoot interview that use to be on KZfaq.

puck30 there used to be an interview with Jack Victory on here where he mention's it too. I lost a lot of respect for Kevin after hearing that he was capable of some heartless shit like that.

HarleyFace fuck cats

I agree. He said him being a family man is what had saved him. He was about to commit suicide when he went into a gun shop and stole the gun but the gun shop owners had a heart to heart conversation with him that changed his mind. He was through with it all once Kerry died.
