Yeah it sucks. Kerry was one of my favorites. Heck, I remember watching Fritz Von Erich and "the iron claw" back when I was a kid... and even when Ivan Putski came on the scene. I don't care much for it nowdays though. It used to be entertaining, now it's just plain stuipid.
I saw Fritz Von Erich apply the "Iron Claw" at the old Sportatorium when I was 7 or 8 years old. After the matches I went down and got an autographed picture. Too bad about his kids. After Kerry killed himself and Fritz finally died his wife did a TV interview and basically blamed him for their deaths for being a crappy dad & pushing them all into wresting. A sad story. There is one surviving son (Kevin I think) & the family lives in my town somewhere but don't know where.

Aren't they around the Denton area??? Really sucks about the way things turned out for that family. I can't believe they haven't been approached to make a movie about them yet...
Lake Dallas. Just south of Denton.
