Death, Tragedy, and Pro Wrestling: The Story of the Von Erichs

Death, tragedy, and professional wrestling. These are three words that are often brought up when describing the Von Erich family. They’re regarded as an iconic legacy family of pro wrestling, who collectively contributed so much to its history and promotion in the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. However, what should have been a happy family story ended up being one filled with tragic accidents and horrific deaths. Behind the cowboy hats and latex tights stood a Texas family that experienced SO much… and in this video, we’re going to meet them. These are the real Von Erichs. Oh yeah, Hi!
