[Da King]

5 brothers: 3 committed that, 1 died by illness, 1 still alive



the last living brother said I went from having 4 brothers to not even being a brother

yep..heroes of world class
very sad when they show that group pic and kevin is the only one left..kerry von erich was one of my faves as a kid and to find out he committed suicide to avoid a bid for coke was sad

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

I was shocked to hear about the first brother electrocuting himself. That dvd was really really sad.

[The G.O.D II]

I saw the WWE produced one on netflix. Does anyone have that independent one?

 

[Da King]

1st death: died by illness in stomach, others say drug overdose
2nd death: killed himself by overdose on tranquilizers
3rd death: blasted himself in the chest
4th death: blasted himself in head

 

[The G.O.D II]

It sucks so bad how the territory game was decimated by by Vince. I've always heard how good companies like WCCW, Mid south, CWA, stampede, the territories in florida, portland, georgia, etc. I need to check out some independents like PWG.

 

[Da King]

Those terrorities all split also meant that the stars were spread too thin, WWE had the right idea brining everyone together

It's 6 brothers actually. The oldest one accidentally electrocuted and drowned himself as a kid.

That was probably the saddest wrestling doc I've ever seen. Not only almost the entire Von Erich family dying but several others like Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez too.

 

[Da King]

You're right, I forgot about the first brother, he died as a child

 

[The G.O.D II]

ADR owes his entire gimmick to Gino Hernandez

Pretty sure she has hepatitis C.

Kevin has a couple sons who recently got into the business, Ross and Marshall. They're working in Japan for NOAH. If I were them I would have avoided pro wrestling like the plague.

I need a reference for the possibility of Lacey havin Hep C lol maybe when Kong checked her she got a severe internal blood clot from being shook hahah

but on a serious note, I didn't know Kevin's boys were in Noah good info bruh immah try and catch a link to the shows with them on it.

Gino's swag was something else

 

[patscorpio]

the territory game was good because it allowed the wrestlers to truly hone their craft/gimmick before entering the big time..no of course we dont really have that anymore and you have a majority of wrestlers today that really lack that intangible..unless they were trained/worked outside the US
