    that story he tells with Fritz with the gun needed to be in the movie, I think that sums up really what the film was about.

    As always, the best production and storytelling in wrestling journalism is from Post Wrestling.
    This is such an important and heartbreaking story. Somehow, it hits too close too home right now. I think I gotta pick this up after the holidays.

    I remember watching the Von Erich's in the 80s Kevin was my favorite. But I loved all of them. I lived in Florida but watched Texas wrestling. I followed Kerry to the WWF. They were awesome wrestlers.RIP my friends Rest Easy

    Excellent work John. I used to watch WCCW in the 80s on ESPN after school so I'm very familiar with the product. Looking forward to catching The Iron Claw at some point in the next couple of weeks.

    Actually Kevin was shy of his third birthday and does remember Jackie some.; It was David was was shy of his first birthday and didn't remember him. Kerry was born not long after Jackie's death.

    Would David have a short reign like Kerry when beating Flair?

    • @robertaegerter7845
      @robertaegerter7845 8 місяців тому +3

      Kerry had drug issues and was missing shows. That’s why he lost the title. I’d like to believe that David would have had a longer run.

    Davud would have gone to have a great career if he would not have passed away
