Warching him struggle with thhe guitar kinda stung me in a place i didnt know existed yet... having been previously shown him playin happily at a party competently. Yet here, it was more of a broken whisper from what could claw itself to the surface. Rest in peace..
When I first watched that movie I cried of all they been through they so much wanting their dad to be happy and proud of them. But inside they all had struggles and pain. I wish so much they didn’t commit suicide all of them would’ve been an inspiration especially Kerry. Kevin is the last one left
Mike's son Adam lives in Fort Worth, and sometimes attends wrestling conventions. I met him in Raleigh a few years ago, he said him and his mother Shani still have many VHS tapes of Mike's career that were never released on television from the SportsPlex days.

Alot of celebrities have secret kids behind the curtains, I know for a fact Chris never had kids though, but Mike had the one, so did David although his daughter passed away in the first months. Kerry and Kevin had several so still going strong.
@@morgandavis6788he said that but also admitted his father pulled a gun on him and told him to k1ll himself like his brothers and then called him a coward
@@l_W7Don’t matter you push through, pulling gun and using them words seals your fate on the kind of trash you are. Also no shit what son can truly bring themselves in that era, to call their father what they are.
@@morgandavis6788Kevin is still very much in denial about a lot. As a fan of the Von Erich’s for a while, it’s quite evident that Fritz wasn’t the best father. I can imagine Kevin’s grief has downplayed a lot of his upbringing in his head.

Suicide is many things but it’s definitely not cowardly. Imagine being in so much pain that you’re certain that your life is no longer worth it, and you actually make the decision to end it and move onto whatever is next, which in all likelihood is nothing. I think that takes more guts than anything you can ever do. I’ve attempted suicide before, it’s honestly not something I think I’m capable of doing because I think deep down I WANT to be alive. I’ve also lost several friends to suicide, including an incredibly close friend who died VERY recently. It’s not something I encourage because I know how much pain it causes the people who care about you. If you were to call it selfish, it would definitely be hard to argue. But to call it cowardly just shows how little you know about it.

I couldn’t agree more! The scene when Kerry committed suicide and he had the gall to seriously try to blame it on Kevin saying “he called YOU and you didn’t do anything” absolutely enraged me! Yeah and then he called YOU begging you to make sure Kerry was alright only for you to callously dismiss him!😠 talk about lacking total and complete self awareness as well as unwillingness to own up to your shit!
@@scartee13 Kerry was clearly in a bad state he had addiction issues and he lost all of his brothers except Kevin and he was released by WWE he clearly needed help and his father dismissed him……I got into trouble with a traffic violation and I was scared to death and my family knew I was scared to death now I go back to court next week with a public defender and hopefully this gets dropped but my point is no family should leave you in a bad state
Poor Mike. According to the people who knew him, he never wanted to get involved in the wrestling business. His passion was music.
yea that was his whole entire storyline in the movie if you watched it
@@ajet7054lol
He was pushed and pushed and pushed until he finally couldn't take it.

It's a Hollywood drama..
just remember its a movie, the only people who really know how bad fritz was or wasnt is Kevin and God
Dude could’ve just quit, moved away and started a new life. Simple as that. No one pushed him to commit. He was too weak to move forward
@@outtriggersooooo just Kevin then were counting real things
@@jimlahey3919yikes, the complete lack of empathy here is straight up depressing l.

My Grandpa met Mike in a restaurant 3 weeks before he died and got me and my cousin an autograph that I still have to this day
Bro you gotta keep that safe you got it framed?
Wow that's crazy. I'm curious of how you felt about this scene.....
Keep it safe. Could be worth $20 some day
@@jimlahey3919after the movie it would probably be thousands of dollars
This movie was SOOO much better than I was expecting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It could've been a 9.5 if they involve Chris in some way
Pops make Joe Jackson look like Father of the century
Poor Mike was never the same after that fever
No, he wasn't. Read that he suffered permanent brain damage.
If you listen closely its mike in the background singing the same song he did in UT Dallas it only went downhill from that scene

This movie actually feels like a horror movie at times
A curse

I didn’t know Mike had kids. I thought just Kevin and Kerry had kids, either way that awesome that you have that, thats truly priceless
@@vickykulig5080He doesn't. Kevin and Kerry are the only ones with kids.

Mike didn't have kids.
DAMN….
DAVID
MICHAEL
KERRY
CHRIS
And Jack Jr
Chris died before Kerry
Can’t believe they didn’t add Chris in the movie, some respect since they put Chris’ name in the end credits.
i wish this version of the song was on streaming services
Best movie I have seen in a long time
I agree but one of the saddest….. these films hit hard because of the directors and producers…..
02:51 peep the background there's a flash of light when Kevin said to Kerry about God telling him to do something different in his life
It’s Mike walking with his flashlight
I feel bad for them they dad was a monster he should be ashamed of himself 😢
He really wasn’t. Kevin said his dad was nothing like in the movie.
@@morgandavis6788he said that but also admitted his father pulled a gun on him and told him to k1ll himself like his brothers and then called him a coward

@@arohavalentine6349apparently he had brain cancer at the time and wasn’t all there
maura tierny doesnt get enough respect
if only the mom divorced the dad none of them would've never died
I remember watching him wrestle and thinking he’s not a wrestler not like his brothers.
The movie wasn't actual factual. But what great performances from that entire cast.
To me it's a solid 8.5
@@joscar062 That is solid.
I think he had a little brain damage from that accident he had in the ring.
It was actually from the shoulder surgery, he ended up getting a 107° fever and toxic shock syndrome which led to brain damage.
Whats the music name??
Can you upload Kevin’s date scene I need it for an edit
What is this song ?
Date scene?
@@michellearseneau8119with pam at the bbq place
and you landed on mclovin???
@@arohavalentine6349it was either between that or Muhammad
This was sad
Cool Rush poster that's all I got out of this scene
Yea you would
i think i found a father thats worse than michael jackson’s
Fritz was a monster.
This movie was so depressing and dull. Everyone sings their praises, but I'm in the minority and would not recommend this film to anyone.
Okay
They lived depressing lives of course its that way
That’s what is supposed to be are you slow or something
