Von Erich Family Tribute

[tysonbaker123]

David did not die of Toxic shock syndrome..Mike had that...David had a gastrointestinal problem..

[CTonihka]

very nicely done, thanks for posting

[amo669]

我是台灣的摔角迷 我最喜歡天魔爪家族了 我永遠記得他們



[ShreveportConnection]

@janborrowitz kahli and big show is 7ft not to say david was a giant too.

[ShreveportConnection]

very nice heart breaking tribute at the end, i am wondering i yall would kniow where i can download their entrance music as a tag team or singles so i can add it to my ps3 svr 2k11 game

[paladindarknite]

my heroes always been the VON ERICHS, i loved wrestlng before hogan,sting, austin...cena?

[peachkim]

Wonderful tribute! If only I can turn back the hands of time, I would force David to go to the doctor about his stomach because the tide turned when he died. I don't believe the other three would have taken their lives if he lived.

[daniel679867]

they were the coolest guys to hang out with really miss them guys they are still number one in wrestling in my book to this day and good friends to rip miss you all.

[rwhitenight]

If I remember correctly, David died in Japan of toxic shock syndrome, one died of an accident an an early age, three died of an overdose and isn't Kevin the only living son? Can anyone tell what Fritz original occupation was?

[DutchTornado]

@rwhitenight Mike died of an overdose, Chris and Kerry shot themself.

[DutchTornado]

@drewmcintyre99

3 of them did commite suicide

[MelindaKay1971]

As a Texas girl & a long time Von Erich fan I must say this is awesome!!! I miss them everytime I watch wrestling!

[usacyrano]

I first saw the von Erichs when Texas wrestling came on ESPN in the early 80's. They were true champions. They will never be forgotten!

[janborrowitz]

David would be the tallest wrestler in WWF except Undertaker :-)

[Cerebus1975]

Man I hope Ross (Kevin's son) gets into the ring soon. Possibly in TNA along with Lacey??

[yonkeykong1988]

@Cerebus1975 Lacey said that Ross is training on her facebook page. That would be so awsome if he joined her in TNA!!

He would be a great talent for TNA. He is only 21 and has time to grow and become something great if TNA put the time and investment into him. I really hope to see him in TNA, and of course if not TNA, WWE.

[reh629]

fritz was the wrestling version of an overbearing hollywood stage parent.

[saugagirl83]

Happy Birthday Mike <3

[Takerfanatic93]

Yeah, Kerry was the best of them and the most talented.

[janborrowitz]

Kerry was the best of them....

[TxKoyote]

Nice tribute Dutch & great song. Wpbsgwm is right Kevin is alive

and well. Him , his wife , kids live in Hawaii now. I believe they still have the Ranch in Tyler . But , have sold the property in and around Denton County , Texas. The family place is still there in Denton County . Of course the street is on Is Fritz Lane. Fritz will always be known to me Poppa Fritz. Why I do say that , that is what he was known as around Lake Dallas to all the kids. Me , of course being one of those kids.

[bigpoopie69]

Von Erichs = Kennedy's.

[Realdeal232005]

Ty, for the video, Chris and Kerry tore me up when I found out they died!

[pyropaul6]

Heaven needed a champion, an unfortunately, they got too many of them from the Von Erich family. Beautiful tribute.

[realwwefans]

how did they all die?

[Realdeal232005]

Mike suicide april 87 drug od, Chris Suicide september 91 9mm to the head.

Kerry, Suicide Febuary 93 44 caliber to the chest. David still debateable, Jack Adkisson Jr in 59 to an electrocution. Fritz died in September 97 due to cancer

[realwwefans]

thanks. it just seemed unreal that so many of them died in like 5 years of themselves!

[Realdeal232005]

yw, Mike was forced to be David after David died. But those boys all of them had a HEART OF GOLD. Kevin and Doris live in Hawaii.

[kevibo2t8]

[mikefl9190]

awesome video, great job and thanks

[DutchTornado]

its a shame that they arent around anymore...the wrestling world could use them now more then ever

the singer of the song is rene froger and the song is called the number one...you can find the clip of the song at the top of my favorites on my youtube page.

[Realdeal232005]

Great video, Kerry was my favorite

[saugagirl83]

An absolutely beautiful tribute.

[DutchTornado]

thank you...glad you like it ;)

[saugagirl83]

I like it very much--I've always been a fan of the Von Erichs and I think this was fantastic.

What is the song that you used? I really like it! :)

[Realdeal232005]

Great tribute.

[steelerman1978]

Its one of the saddest stories ever written. Whoever wasnt living or was to young during that time, missed a true wrestling dynasty. They have no business being dead, And they were and always will be the greatest wrestling family of all time. I miss them.

[DALLASDIALLEO]

Come on, its not USA'a Fault. Heck Steamboat got more time than Austin did. Honestly they needed to wai til WM came to Dallas at the New Stadium, and induct both the Von Erichs and Freebirds.

[mike635128]

Really Cool.  Let's hope the WWE does them justice and they get some airtime this Saturday at the HOF Induction ceremony on USA. IF not, then I'll have to buy the DVD and never watch USA NETWORK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rtfuhj]

Finally they are going in the hall of fame bout damn time!!!

[TnaForever]

amen brother amen,

[rtfuhj]

thank's bro it's been a long time comeing!!

[mike635128]

Just remember, The von erichs did the best they could in the drug era of the 80Thanks, so much, for not quiting. From Indy

[mike635128]

If the von erichs don't make the WWE HOF this year, I will never watch the WWE product ever again.. Mike Murray-A fan since WM!>

[bigroy38]

I encourage every fan to write or E-mail WWE and ask the them NOT to induct the family in the Hall of Fame this year.Inductng them in Houston would be an absolute disgrace.I've already contacted them about it.

[bellaedward945]

they better be in the hall of fame especialy kerry cause he lived the longest. i will be there at the hall of fame. and kerry is my hero forever

[wpbsgwm]

Kerry did NOT live the longest of the brothers. Kevin is still alive and is 52 years old. Kerry died at 33 years and 15 days of age.

[rtfuhj]

it's not  over!! ross von erich kevin son is wrestling and lacy von erich kerry's daughter is wrestling so the dynasty will live on!!! f.y.i. lacy won her first match with the iron claw!

[stladsparish]

VON ERICH'S for the 2009 Hall of fame

[rtfuhj]

they better be in it!!!

[bigroy38]

they need to wait for WM to be in Dallas.

[rtfuhj]

hopefully that will be soon!! they have been to houston twice!!

[y2joct7]

I only regret that I never got to see this amazing dynasty wrestle. They deserve the HoF. The way each went was truly a tragedy. Thank god the Von Erich family shall live on.

[rtfuhj]

I agree all the way long live the von erich's!!!!!

[WWEJR88Fan]

They were awesome to watch

[Mattylynn3412]

This was a great tribute...so many memories of them. I was living in Texas when I heard the news that David died and when Kerry won the World Title against Ric Flair at Texas Stadium. I was such a huge fan that I even collected photos of them and pictures from the magazines and had made two albums of their whole family..sure do miss watching them.

[LiptonGuy]

Look at the 1:07 point of this video.

That little Von Erich, coming in to the ring with a chair, so he can hit a guy (from behind) with a chair.

- What a cheapskate artist..

[Realdeal232005]

Hey Liptonguy, Dipshit He has sevier asthma that stunned his growth. One of the freebirds shoved him to the ground one time! He's dead. Just don't let his nieces, nephews, mother, and his brother Kevin don't see what you said! Dumbass show some class!

[lourdesjulianna]

DUDE THAT VIDEO TRIBUTE IS AWSOME

[rtfuhj]

[LiptonGuy]

[rtfuhj]

[dxfan555]

true greats.....if u liked the von erich family then come to my channel i have 5 playlists one includes tributes to dead wrestlers and this video is on it....sub to me invite to be my friend

[HangTime1717]

kevin von erich is a hero

hes the only von erich son still around

i wouldnt be able to take seeing 3 brothers commit suicide

[pitzer4321]

not only that but chris actually died in kevin arms,kevin said he was still breathing hard,and then kevin went to hold his head and his finger actually went in the hole in chris's head then seconds later chris died,,i dont think i would be able to handle that

[whitetigress1973]

This is a beautiful video. Who sang that song and what's the name of it? It's so beautiful and I'd like to try to find that son.

[DutchTornado]

Its called the number one...the singer is rene froger,you can find the clip here:

watch?v=jKGYojyVNKU

by the way your david von erich video is awesome

[lordmaul27]

Kerry was and always will be my idol...I miss them so much

[gokevingo]

the von erichs ruled the world back then, there was no one better, their rating were higher than the WWF in NY! and WWF sucked and it still sucks today. Kevin was my favorite, he kicked everyone's ass, thats why they didnt let him in WWF

[AlbanianMan]

uh dude, he WAS in the WWF

[AlbanianMan]

oops, my bad. I thought you said, Kerry, not Kevin

[AlbanianMan]

Actually Kevin did wrestle a few matches in the WWF in the early 80's. I remember seeing one against Johnny Rodz

[gokevingo]

They should have brought the von erichs to fight the freebirds in NY for a one time match or something, But i heard kevin say in the shoot interview that he was invided to go to some match in WWF and they kicked him out or didnt let him in and doesnt know why. it was like in 95 i think he said, does anyone know about it?

[JDCDK]

Wow, you just made me care about some wrestlers that I never have seen! Nice job, dude!

[Dragonlal]

Moooi filmpje man (Y)

[xtreme3xo]

u just see how big nwa was back then

[KerrysNumberOne]

Outstanding video! Great work. :)

Does anyone know the name of the song used near the end (the 2nd song, played when the gravestones are showing)?

Thanks!

[AlbanianMan]

It was from the film Faded Glory which was a documentary about the Von Erichs. I've been looking for the full length film everywhere and I cant seem to find it

[mismooth]

anybody have video of chris wrestling!!!

[dtcowboyqb8]

love the video do you have heaven needed a chapion

[DutchTornado]

I've just uploaded heaven needed a champion ;)

[LtGiant]

I Miss The Von Erichs.. Kerry Von Erich Was My Hero In Pro Wrestling.. Kevin Is The Only Von Erich Alive. God Bless The Von Erichs!!!!!

[mwgcubs]

this video is outstanding

[judio69]

the number one the song name is ''the number one'' no this number one

[DomDeshun]

did they all kill themselves

[DutchTornado]

David died of an illnes in Japan...Fritz died of cancer in 1997...Mike,Chris and Kerry all killed themselves..kevin is still alive.

Kerry's daughter Lacey has signed with WWE (i would rather see her in TNA where there is a real womens division instead of just being eyecandy in WWE but thats just my humble opinion)

[4everandoneday]

Kerry's daughter signed with the wwe???? First I had heard of that.

[DutchTornado]

her myspace says:

"Just signed with WWE!! Following daddy's foot steps...! Wish me luck!!"

WWE assigned her to Florida Championship Wrestling where she will train...she will make her WWE debut very soon i think.

[Cerebus1975]

To add on to that, she made her wrestling debut against another legend's daughter. Nattie Neidhart (the Anvil's daughter) - I think Lacey loss that match.

[morbid7419]

Maybe I'm just imagining things, but at 2:54-2:56 where Chris is being double teamed, is it just me or is that a very young Steve Austin attacking him? I know Stone Cold got his start in Texas with WCCW so I'm curious if thats really him.

[DutchTornado]

yup its Chris Adams and Chris von Erich vs Steve Austin and Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer)

[JPZnWo]

whats the name of the song?

[morbid7419]

Yeah if anyone knows the name of the song, please tell.

[centauri32111]

the song is

Rene Froger - This Number One

[nodoubtnd]

dutchtornado, i was wondering at around 2:44-2:45 where kerry, mike, and i think that's david or kevin is that a clip of something or a match? Are they at some sort of ranch.

[DutchTornado]

i took it of the Heroes of World Class dvd,i think its on their ranch but i'm not 100%sure,at first i thought this clip was part of the interview bill mercer had outside on the ranch with the family shortly after Dave had died but then i noticed chris looked older (longer hair) in this one so it couldn't be....i dont know the story behind that clip....maybe someone else can help cause i wanna know too.

[nodoubtnd]

great vid love the von erich's forever. i was wondering if anyone has chris von erich's first match

[DutchTornado]

Against who was his first match anyway? I only have one match of Chris with Chris Adams vs Percy Pringle and Steve Austin,not a very good match...i have searched on the internet but i cant find a matchlist of Chris his matches,does anyone know where i can find it?

[nodoubtnd]

dutchtornado i was wondering if u could send me the match of chris with chris adams vs percy pringle and steve austin if its ok. i cant find any other video of chris von erich

[DutchTornado]

Sure i will send you the link of the match as soon as possible

[chelle7066]

Dutchtornado, This is great, I grew up watching these guys. Do you have the full match w/ Mike that is shown at 1:30? could you send it to me.

[DutchTornado]

Nope im sorry i dont have the full match vs Akbar..only a few clips of it.

[pektor72]

Thanks from Israel.

[AlbanianMan]

Thank you... For being Von Erichs

[TheRavenWarrior]

Thank You Very Much for putting that together and posting it up..........that was very very nice.........and beautiful!

[Cerebus1975]

I love the Von Erichs.....good job!!

[AlbanianMan]
