  • I didn't even know he died until years later when my older brother got the internet, I just remember him being on WWF and then all the sudden he wasn't, was always hoping he'd come back like the Ultimate Warrior did from time to time. Sucks how WWF used to not even let their fans know when a big time star died.

  • I committed suicide once...

  • Excuse me But Kerry dead The 18th I Remember Because @2days later Phil Apollo Wrestled Scott Taylor ( aka Scottie 2 Hottie ) in Newbedford Ma n was Running late due to being at Kerry's Funeral

  • Well really I lived near his dad. I heard the sirens when he shot himself.I was so young, Pretty crazy shit I'm serious.

  • He used to be my neighbor soo long ago. Well sorta neighbors,it was in the country.

  • Those von erics were good at committing suicide

  • The main person to blame for the suicides was Fritz/Jack the father he wouldnt listen to the guys when they came to him and told him that his boys where addicted to drugs and abusing them he fired the messenger and he never from what I understand made them feel that they had something that made them special and set them apart the only one that had his mind in the right place was Kevin he worked hard and lives for his family the others did to they needed to here that they where great no matter

  • I fondly remember Kerry, a true legend, and he is missed

  • One of the great wrestling families in pro wrestling

  • Kerry, rather

  • Kevin kind of looks like Roger Waters

  • Was the little girl Lacy Von Erich?

  • Sad

  • Poor Fritz had to watch em all die but one. Poor guy. And 3 suicides? Please don't let that ever be an option people. I have seen people's testimonies that have been brought bck to life after suicide and had a horrible story to tell. Just hang in there! If times are as bad as they can get then they can only get better.

  • damn right its not fake! and in case you forgot vince its a sport got dammit!!

  • I use to watch the Von Erichs when I was like 8 & 9 years old and I can say I was a very huge fan. I actually cried when David died don't laugh at me I was a kid but anyway I remember watching as each one of them passed away very sad. I just could understand how someone with all the looks and money and fame could kill themself. I guess money can't buy you happiness. RIP

  • If Chris lived i think he would of been the best from all his brothers..Why?..Because he wanted it more..and he was real real young enough time to get it together and being only 5 foot 5 it was the right size for a wrestler only 5 yrs later..Plus he had good looks that u know would of gotten better with age!..I know he had asma..but 5 yrs later better medicine came out as well...See he let himself Go right when it was his time to Go for it!...RIP Chris...wish i met ya..from Barbara

  • Comment removed

  • @Midnightryder7 Perhaps you are correct in your analysis of Chris. However I believe his ashma condition contributed to him having very brittle bones. But hey who knows now?? Like you said, RIP Chris!

  • @LukeDobbins hah right?! down to the very same year

  • wow. he killed himself on my birthday..

  • Texas tornaedo i 1iked him! sniff ! :-(

  • He was awesome, remember this so well when I saw it on CNN, kinda floored, the Von Erich/Freebird feud in the 80's was epic...

  • I remember crting like a baby when I saw the story...It was just too tragic. They are definitely missed.

  • the von erichs are just like kennedys smh its sadd

  • WTF man, I had no idea Kevin was definitely my favorite but, man what a tragedy.

  • Maybe Kerry Von Erich Isn't dead. I want to hope so. Go in to Facebook page of Lacey von Erich - Daddy - who is Sandy West? Could he be Kerry by another name?

    mabye it is my imagination or i am loosing my mind.

    Please, comments

  • maybe they all got molested by their dad

  • Shit i was borned on that day

  • fuck the hart family the von erichs were better

  • Is Kevin still around? If so, I hope he's happy and doing well.

  • @TheTerryE Yes he is (:

  • why and how did kerry kill him self rip mate

  • Fucking Paragraphs!!! You Fail Kerry! misfit13ae<----------- Bitch!!!

  • So many of these wrestlers pay so much of a price for fortune and fame that it's more than we may ever know. It's easy sometimes to forget that they are also human, and they aren't much happier than we think they are.

  • Love the 80's and early 90's wrestling, when it seemed more realistic. The best came from Texas... :) Long live Von Erichs. I'm sorry for all the losses, and hope the family finds peace.

  • So sad....Huge Kerry fan here. Honorary Von Erich. ;)

  • That had to hurt Lacey von erich to loss her father

  • what did he kill himself for?

  • @TheDoglover777 he was caught with drugs and most likely would have serve some serious time. He also was missing one his feet due to coming back to soon from the motorcycle accident. REAL tragedy!

  • why didn't they mention Lacey?

  • Its so sad how they all end up but I have always been a big fan of the Von Erich's and always will. I see their tragedy the same was I see the tragedy of Bruce Lee, it seemed to be a curse following them....

  • I was lucky to have seen Kerry Von Erich wrestle in person around 1991 at a WWF event.

  • @jpd782 I never saw Kerry in person, but I did see Kevin: August 1981, he and Mr. Wrestling II defeated Bryan St. John and Iron Mike Sharpe in Augusta, GA. In the main event, Terry Gordy defeated Ted DiBiase in a Texas Death Match. "Deeb" did a stretcher job afterwards.

  • Born in Niagara Falls N.Y. just north of my area

  • hey highflyer you idoit three of the von erichs killed themself.

  • Kerry Von Erich was my favorite wrestler. I got an opportunity to meet him once when he was a passenger on an aircraft I was working. He was with several other wrestlers & managers. He was very gracious in letting me take a photograph of him & myself. The schedule these guys had to maintain while touring was grueling to say the least. Flying from city to city every day while trying to maintain a workout schedule & eating properly on the road etc...Thank you for posting this. R.I.P. Kerry

  • @steverid -- He was mine as well. He was almost, in his own way, like Adonis. Handsome, great personality. And now gone. Tragic is only one word to describe the sadness surrounding his passing.

  • @steverid i too work at chicago o'hare in the eighties, met kerry at the gate area of a flight dallas bound, all i can remember of him was, what a nice guy he seemed to be, signed many autographs for kids in the area and almost missed his flight til the last kid got one, i am very sorry he is gone

  • I really hate how the media treats wrestling in this country

  • So awful-I think a piece of my heart died with each one of them. Living in a small NE Texas town, you got to see a lot of these guys-do meet and greets, etc-they never failed to impress

  • Just another reason to hate my birthday. Never realized that Kerry died on the 18th just like Dale Earnhardt Sr. Yeah, me!!!! Happy freakin birthday.

  • Wow, its hard to believe that he has been gone 17 years.....Where does the time go.

  • I thought he died in a car wreck?

  • Damn that's so sad. Suicide after a great career. Kevin keep you Legacy and you spirit alive. Don't turn to Suicide that's the Cowards way out and your brothers were not Cowards Drugs took over them. Kevin Von Erich be here for your Legacy and your family. and for that one ass mouth who left that fucked up comment about his daughter aye mann grow the fuck up

  • @MrHighflyer21 you mean drugs and depression took over them.

  • Its a curse

  • If Kerry didn't kill himself, he would've been great for the NWO.

  • Kerry Von Erich was the "Texas Tornado" in the WWF.

  • There's a huge rumor that it wasn't suicide, but a drug deal gone bad. The positioning of the gun, etc, make people believe that he did not do it himself.

  • wtf!!!!u gonna look at a tiny lil girl and think she's hot. christ sakes she looks like a 2nd grader friggin pedo. did ur mom or aunty do the belly to belly suplex with you? lol

  • pause at 1:45

    was that blonde girl the young lacey von erich? O_o

    she looked hot even at 9 yrs old

  • @SexyCeciDai wtf!?

  • This was sad.

  • my next son will b kerry!!!!

  • Never gonna be another Von Erich Family

  • @WhiteChocolut wow your funny for a guy who can't type learn to type moron.

  • I HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING ALL THE VON ERICHS WHEN I LIVE IN DALLAS, TX. WHEN I WAS A KID I NEVER FORGET ALL THE FAMOUS BATTLES WITH THE FAB. FREEBIRDS. I WAS WATCHING TNA WRESTLING ONE NIGHT AND OUT OF THE CROWD A TALL GORGEOUS BLONDE LADY GOT INTO THE RING TO HELP THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND IT WAS LACEY AND SHE SLAPPED THAT IRON CLAW ON AND IT SENT GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. WITH LACEY LONG LIVE THE VON ERICH FAMILY. SHE'LL DO THE PROUD.....RIP BROTHERS

  • I 100% AGREE WITH YOU BRO.....I HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING ALL THE VON ERICHS WHEN I LIVE IN DALLAS, TX. WHEN I WAS A KID I NEVER FORGET ALL THE FAMOUS BATTLES WITH THE FAB. FREEBIRDS. I WAS WATCHING TNA WRESTLING ONE NIGHT AND OUT OF THE CROWD A TALL GORGEOUS BLONDE LADY GOT INTO THE RING TO HELP THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND IT WAS LACEY AND SHE SLAPPED THAT IRON CLAW ON AND IT SENT GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY. WITH LACEY LONG LIVE THE VON ERICH FAMILY. SHE'LL DO THE PROUD.....RIP BROTHERS

  • they would never show somet like this in england

  • I recall this newscast. My jaw hit the floor and bounced a few times. Kevin was always my fave of the boys...I think it was due to the fact he wrestled barefoot and pretty much seemed like a "poor innocent, but good guy" amongst all the bigger, meaner S-O-Bs in the game. None the less, I miss watching any and all of them. Heard Kevin's a teacher now. English, I think. Maybe science. Don't hold me to that, ok?

  • i think your daddy must have butt fucked your ass while you were a kid

  • YOU ARE SICK YOU DAMN FAG!

  • So, is Mike dead?

  • Yes, He took a drug OD and left a suicide note said "Mom, Dad, I'm ina better place. I'll be watching and waiting on you and my brothers." April of 87

  • @Realdeal232005 Mike felt that he had let everyone down because he was arrested for posession of marijuana. His mother told him that they still loved him, but he wasn't convinced. Kerry believes that if the police had notified the family, someone would have come and got him and he wouldn't have done it. But as several editors said, no one is above the law.

  • @mkl62 don't you realize that you commented something that has been made 2 years ago. I never asked you for an opioion! Get with the times.

  • @aquemeni541 Yes, Mike, Chris, Kerry, and David are dead, Kevin is still alive.

  • Are you fuckin' serious? You a sick fuck...

  • Jack von eric his the older of the von eric family right

  • As much as I hate what some of you are posting in your comments.I will not remove them as I believe in freedom of speech.

  • Hey, great video, that dude better hope and pray that Kevin and Ross don't his comments!

  • @cf1969 I still have hours and hours of them on tape from back in the day

  • @cf1969 He's In Hell!

  • @BlameItOnTheWhiteMan FUCK YOU !!!!

  • @misfit138ae Lol he killed himself!

  • @BlameItOnTheWhiteMan i dont find it funny man, drugs are still so clear as day in wrestling :s

  • @cf1969 Right on bro you tell 'em and thank you for posting this!!:)

  • lol pervert

  • isn't Lacey Kevin's daughter?

  • No, Kristen and Jill are Kevins Daughters. Hollie and Lacey are Kerrys

    David had a daughter Natasha, she died shortly afterwards she was born.

  • no she is Kerry's

  • Nobody put the guns or drugs to there headsm Rest in Piss cause i won't see any of you cocksucers in heaven.

  • hank7216

    YOU MAY BE PART RIGHT BUT THE REALITY IS THAT HE WAS GOING TO GO TO PRISON FOR LONG TIME USE OF STEROIDS JUST LIKE LEX LUGER. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT LEX USED UP THE LAST OF HIS FORTUNE TO GET OFF THE CHARGES. LEX IS STILL AROUND. KERRY DECIDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE INSTEAD OF FACING A LONG TERM IN PRISON FOR THE STEROIDS

  • mattius83

    KERRY COMMITTED SUICIDE BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO PRISON FOR A VERY LONG TIME OVER THE STEROIDS HE USED !!

  • no, he was going to be going for forging prescriptions

  • It's hard to fathom what Kerry was thinking. I mean, he was a father and had his whole life ahead of him. We really lost a real talent with his passing.

  • You're right and all these heartless people on here being insensitive about what that poor family has been thru. Some people are so ignorant.

  • amazing to think he only had 1 foot thanks to the bike accident, yet you would never know otherwise when he was in the ring. Great performer gone too soon

  • 1997 was a good year for wrestling that's when we had faction's like the nation the hart's the doa and savio's gang as well as later on that is dx

  • 1997 was good for WCW, but WWE was unwatchable during the DX years/Attitude years. When promoters started getting involved with storylines, along with the degenerate stuff and the death of kayfabe, wrestling has gone to shit

  • Too bad there aren't any more wrestlers like Kerry Von Erich in wrestling today. The product now is so unwatchable and has been since 1997
