REMEMBERING THE VON ERICHS - FULL EPISODE

On this episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, our hall of famers Gerald Brisco and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome legendary referee James Beard and longtime head of security for WCCW Bill Colville. James and Bill share a load of incredible stories working with the Von Erichs and in the WCCW territory.

Thanks y’all. I grew up with World Class.

Living in North Texas, dad would drive us to Sportatorium, Reunion, Texas Stadium and Will Rogers. As 10 year old lads, we worshipped the Von Erichs. Their popularity at the time, rivaled the Dallas Cowboys. When David passed, Texas mourned. Bless them all, and thank you for giving kids heroes. Best to Kev and the entire Von Erich family. RIP Kerry, Mike, David, Chris, Fritz and Doris. Spent 10 years in Wichita Falls. Was there during the tornado in 79

Big fan of the Von Erichs growing up. Glad to hear these untold stories. The Iron Claw is a must see movie. Dark Side of the Ring episode of the Von Erichs is must see as well.

Accidentally found this podcast about the Von Erichs. These guys are hysterical!!

[@stevemoore2150]

I have been waiting for over 40 years to find out who the guy in the cowboy hat was that always took the boys to the ring. I saw him beat some fans ass on several occasions. I think there was a 2nd guy as well that helped. Awesome!

Loved wccw. Tragedy just plagued that promotion. Many talented guys died working there. Sad to think too, kevin is the last von erich brother and michael hayes is the last original freebird

Man i tell you , there is more berries on the vine of the APA maybe have John recruit for APA2k with John and Ron as CEOs that show up every Legends Night for their dividends from the new APA over a poker match that would be a bit more entertaining than any current story

[@swolepatrol2139]

This is great! I always wanted to know about the security guy with the black hat.

[@isaacls2008]
