Kerry Von Erich, what do you think about him?
I think Kerry Von Erich was a great Wrestler in the other big leagues, WCCW and NWA, he was actually one of the top/best Wrestlers in those leagues I think, he was very entertaining and had a lot of energy and high flying skills. I think he came to the WWF to late in his career, but I think the main reason he did come late was because of his family (other Von Erich Wrestlers, brothers) were in those other leagues, so it was like the whole family was there, so I do understand and respect that he stayed for less pay in those other leagues to be with family, he wasn't about the money but for the love of the sport and having fun in it.
That's why when he finally decided to come to the WWF after being a superstar in other leagues he got the strong push which he totally deserved from his past experience.

He was great. It sucks how the entertainment business, whether it be wrestling in this case or the music business in others, whatever the case may be, takes such a toll on the lives of the people who work in it. The legacy of the Von Erich's is marked with such tradgedy that it is almost unbelievable to see what those people went through. It is so unfortunate that, Kerry, may he rest in peace died at the young age of 33. There was so much left for him to live for. It's a shame he didn't realize that while he was here.

That's totally true, it's a shame because Kerry Von Erich was on the rise in the WWF and finally getting seen by the world for the talent he has showed throughout his career.
It's truely incredible all that the Von Erich family has gone through. Geez, 3 suicides: 23, 25, and 33 years of age.

They were all so young and had so much to live for. I hate how things happen like that. To me, there's always another day. You never know what that day will bring. Not all days are good, but without the bad days, the good ones wouldn't seem all so great anyway.

What made Kerry even more amazeing was the fact that he had an artifical foot.
One of his feet had been amputated after A Mtercycle accident or something of that nature.

He did lose a foot. It's too bad his addiction to prescription meds and his subsequent arrest for forgery of a doctor's prescription led to his suicide. |
