One reason and one reason only for the "Von Erich Tragedy", there old man Fritz was a mental piece of shit that cared more about $$ than his own kids. Except for the one that was supposedly electrocuted in the back yard, all drug ODs or suicides.

Story goes David OD'd in Japan and Brody cleaned up the scene before the cops got there.

Kerry was a mess. Best story about him is when they were supposed to combine the World Class, AWA and Memphis belts, he had a blade in the tape on his finger to get some juice. Fucking guy was so out of it in the locker room that he forgot, scratched his arm and laid himself open. I believe he was sich a mess in the match, Lawler went for the tape that was basically a tourniquet on Kerry's arm and the match was stopped for excessive bleeding.

2 youngest, Chris and Mike, never should have been int he business, but Fritz was chasing dollars and pushed them in ill prepared for the ring, the lifestyle and the expectations.

Kevin, the only one left, did an interview on WWE 24/7 shortly after he sold the tape library to Vince. He is so Stockholmed that he still pines for daddy's approval and admiration. Meanwhile daddy used to tell them they would never be as good as David (after David was dead). Also tells a story of his old man pulling a gun on him and asking him "How come your the one that lived?" Hot seat in hell for a piece of shit like Fritz.


Stu Hart same type of thing, but most of his kids are alive. Owen was different from the rest, he was mom's, and she kept him more protected from Stu.
