  • @peterp21 yup that was in Dallas

  • @Freebie1975 And I was wrong about the Von Erichs never wrestling in WWF. Someone posted videos of Kevin and Kerry wrestling in singles matches at MSG in 1980. Vince is the announcer and also mentions that David had wrestled at MSG earlier in the year as well.

  • @BlackSabbathory that was in Dallas that night

  • That was one of the greatest moments in wrestling history. Man it was so awesome to see Kevin Von Erich and the Iron Claw again. In the words of JR, God bless the Von Erichs.

  • I tell you I smile EVERY time I watch this!!!!

  • Damn, if this happened in today's WWE the crowd would probably be dead.

  • So cool!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow. This is when wrestling was wrestling. Not at these act and prep fights. They killed the originality in professional wrestling eh

  • Oh man how great was that? Old Kev must have felt alot of emotion when he got that claw on and the fans blew the roof off that building!!After all that he and his Family have been through what an acknowledgement of love by the fans to the Von Eric Family.Thats what makes life feel great and worth living even through tradegy.They deserve it.

  • Nice tribute to the von Erichs having Kev do the claw on Conway. Great pop (they're in Texas here, right?) for a family who never even wrestled in WWF (except Kerry late in his career).

  • 傳說中的天魔爪終於出現了

  • VON ERICH CLAW > KHALI VICE GRIP

  • i got a ton of respect 4 the von erichs especially Kevin

  • I agree, in the 80s the Von Erichs made wrestling worth watching WCCW forever.

  • i remember seeing this when i got home that night, and i couldn't stop smiling. the claw. man... those were the days for nigh on everything worth living.

  • My understanding is that Kevin is heavily medicated with anti-depressants. And that's not a knock against him. If 5 of my siblings died under such tragic circumstances, I'd probably need medication to get through each minute of every day. So sad.

  • Kevin Von Erich is as hard a dude as there is, all 5 of his brothers died before they were 34! Im glad at least he averted tragedy but god what horrible stuff to live with.

  • @DominoRyder I can't imagine the grief - and some misplaced guilt - he must carry around daily. When I watched WCCW, I always assumed Kevin was the #1 Von Erich, since he was champ. Though his brothers were the bigger stars. David was already dead but was on his way to the NWA title and Kerry of course had been NWA champ. Never saw Mike or Chris wrestle at that time. I liked that they all had different looks. Kevin with his bare feet, Kerry the greek god, Dave the cowboy.

  • ICONIC!

  • now THESE are TRUE wrestlers and superstars with amazing personalities, charisma and talent, unlike the snorefest there is now every monday and friday nights

  • If Kevin Von Erich ever runs for Governor of Texas, he would win unanimously.

  • the VON ERICH'S WERE WRESTLING WITHOUT THEM ITS ALL CRAP.

  • liked kevin and kerry but the others were all jokes. david's promos were crap with him gritting his messed up teeth and mike wasnt right after the 108 fever and the other wasnt even tall as the ring ropes whatever his name was. and the dad was a slavedriver and talked about all of them being champions sooner or later lol. mike was sitting at the hospital press conferance barely coherant and he was saying "mike will be a world champion someday"

  • Does anyone have the full clip?

  • Peoples' excitement might make you forget how stupid this is.

  • he reminds me of mac danzig

  • This is a group the nexus should have attacked

  • @GlitchMasta But then they would have gotten their asses kicked. How would that have been any good?

  • Who just marked out? THIS GUY! The claw along with the Superfly splash?  One word: GREAT.

  • THE CLAW IS THE GREATEST FINISHING MOVE OF ALL TIME...!!! 

  • Love the Von Erics! Always have...always will. I was a huge fan back in the 80's as well. Grew up in Dallas. They were a house hold name. :)

  • Man awesome I saw all the von erich live when I was a kid I need to find my scrap book I kept when I was a kid I got all there autographs ..have to search for it man Kevin we all wish u well

  • @TXmetalhead72 Did you ever find your scrap book?!

  • That patented-unique Von Erich claw! How I miss the Von Erich. I was a hugh fan. Kevin was my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing this. Thanks for the memories it brought back of the Royal Dynasty of Wrestling. There will never be another family like the Von Erich's!!!

  • THE CLAW!

    Kevin Von Erich. Man what a great guy.

  • I wanna know if jake roberts ever hung out with kevin? Drugs drugs drugs yell

  • I dont care what everybody says THE von erichs Claw is way better than any wrestling move u see today on TV and if its done by the right man then you will see is as a very muc painfull move!! i remember the undertaker used to do it first when he came it was so devastating!!

  • Kevin Von Erich, LEGEND.

  • Fucking iron claw hell yes

  • The only way this could've been better is if J.R REALLY marked-out and said "Holy Shit! It's the Claw!"

  • lacey is going to be just like her father

  • @wwewidowspeakfreak Popular beyond belief?

  • WWE has turned wrestling today into a joke.

  • If only they had done that to John Cena.

  • @zzDzCzCzz That would be priceless

  • @zzDzCzCzz kane did last monday night on raw kinda lol

  • Fucking EPIC @ 0:25

  • I was there, and I'd say the claw got a bigger pop than I've heard for Austin or Hogan

  • @trombone316 It's been around for more then 60 years. Take al ook at the crowd, tons of old fans with their sons and daughters who espexially came to see these old legends. If Hogan's son had been a wrestler too, you would of the same reaction 20 years from now. But alas, tragedy befell too many of our beloved super stars and their families.

  • man when I saw Kevin put the claw on Conway I shit bricks

  • @TravisDrago I shit logs!

  • What the hell? There are videos floating around of this guy wrestling in the 80s and he doesn't look like he's aged a day.

  • @carl22069 He was nowhere close to Kerry and David.

  • Lacy is going to be just like her father

  • funny

  • How come Lacy von Erich dosen't do the von Erich claw?

  • @Moredread25 I don't think she does it exclusively, but I've seen her do a Von Erich claw/chokeslam thingy before.

  • @Moredread25

    She does the Von erich claw on her TNA-Debut :)

  • @Love00Ly did it get any audience reaction?

  • rip all of the von erichs except for kevin hes still alive

  • Man, I loved em. They probably hated my black ass, but I loved em ta death! Kevin went bare foot. He was a beast, there is none better! The only good times I had with my dad were watching the Von Erich's

  • R.I.P. the Von Erich's & oooweeee Snuka flying again, reminds me of MSG !!!

  • THE CLAW WAS THE SHIT

  • IT'S THE CLAW!!! THE CLAW!!! Now, The Great Khali does that finisher.

  • Awesome moment!!!

  • the curse of the von erichs! O_O

  • OMG CAN WE STOP THE FUCKING FIGHTING AND ENJOY THE VIDEO

  • kerry was the best 1

  • I Think Lacey Did It Better

    Sorry 4Any1 Hu Thinks Different Buh Dats My Opinion

    She Just Makes It Sooo Smooth Nd Sells It Soooo Nicely

  • @kingTNAlover You're a dumb mark...especially because you put over a nigger fucker.

  • @DrFubarProzak Dumb Mark Really ?!???

    U Fukin Immigrant I Aint Black Eiver Nd Talk About De Video Nt Personal Stuff Yh U Ignorent Fukin Peice O' Shit Retard U Fukin Illegal Immigrant

  • @kingTNAlover How am I an illegal immigrant when I was born in this country? You still can not use the English language properly. When you learn how to type and spell properly, then comment. Until then, shut the fuck up nigger.

  • @DrFubarProzak dude first off do you know you are fighting with a kid and talking about people using the english language properly when you are saying the n word which has no meaning but to demean somebody now the correct term is negro which is spanish for black now you can call him the n word but don't talk about somebody using the english language in correct unless you stop sounding like a hillbilly from some backwards town us irish people are tired of you u.s people butching the language

  • @crswcw It's not the "n word" it's NIGGER. Moron.

  • @DrFubarProzak idiot the n word begin with the letter N

  • @crswcw the word is still NIGGER

  • @DrFubarProzak if you think that then okay it ashmae when racist people in the us make us irish and british people look bad

  • @DrFubarProzak.... word of advice, go find & tall building, climb it & just walk 2 the edge & then take 1 more step..LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

  • @1stells7 word of advice...get a gun, point it to your head, pull the trigger...and fucking die. Nigger lover.

  • @DrFubarProzak... kool, i'll c your BITCH azz n Hell u fuckn faggot !!!

  • @DrFubarProzak I MIGHT get mad at your racist bullshit, but with a name like "DrFubarProzak" you're clearly meth-addicted trailer trash whose opinions shouldn't matter to anyone with so much as half a brain cell.

  • @DrFubarProzak I MIGHT get mad at your racist bullshit, but with a name like "DrFubarProzak" you're clearly meth-addicted trailer trash whose opinions shouldn't matter to anyone with so much as half a brain cell.

  • "Rob you got to get outa there, you got to get outa there" lol, man hell yeah Von Erich's baby!

  • this great the von erichs well always be my fravorite

  • I don't know. If Lacey showed up naked, I think she would get a pop.

  • The Von Erich Claw, One of the worst moves ever? It's up there!

  • @Redd1587 So tell me if it sucks so much why did some of the biggest names in wrestling use it back in the 50's and 60's? Is it lame compared to todays manuvers? yes, but remeber this was a move that was used by the Von Erichs family and made them very famous and rich.

  • Such a simple move, but an explosive pop. Amazing how much love Dallas still has for the Von Erichs after all these years.

  • @guysanchez Just teasing the claw back in the good old days got the fans cheering. The biggest cheers coming in tag team matches, when Kerry or Kevin (or David) would put the claw on each opponent.

    Someone needs to force Vince to watch these old school tapes to show just how wrestling (as Terry Funk put it, spelled W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G) should be done

  • he the only von erich left all of them commited suicide

  • @iamliltaz David didnt commit suicide, he was found dead in japan, due to an intestine problem I think.

  • @marshalljimduncan : Actually, that was always the cover-up. Most people in the know (and not close to the family) say it was drug related...

  • @marshalljimduncan oh yeah thnk fr telling me

  • this was at the american airlines center in dallas,in the days of WCCW the Von Erichs were as big if not bigger than the Dallas Cowboys and in this area thats saying alot! the name Von Erich will always have a bond in the DFW area,although Lacey doesnt,she isnt known in the area and while she certainly is beautiful,speaking as a fan she doesnt seem to be in the same category as her family

  • Was this filmed at the Sportatorium?

  • @marshalljimduncan : Hell no!! That place is about 10x the size of the Sportatorium... they demolished it years ago, unfortunately...

  • @DeepSouthWrestling Have you ever been to the sportatorium? I only have memories of it, from tv, when I was a child. I loved it, and also nwa, and that little studio they had there shows from. What great memories.

  • @marshalljimduncan : Only once... I took a trip just to see wrestling there. It was a dump, but an awesome dump!!

  • hart got the fabulous natalia , while von erich left with useless lacey

  • is he wearing shoes??

  • von erichs or harts i say its a hard 1

  • von erichs were born 10 years to early

  • Lazy Von Erich should learned that from her Uncle.

  • expect Lacey.

  • Now THATS how you do the fucking claw.

    Fuck you Lacey.

  • @BigAlUpdates actually the 1st time she did it it was alright and Sarita sold it well

  • @kingTNAlover First AND last time.

    Sorry, it looked like shit.

  • @BigAlUpdates ur just jelous of how hot and gorous she is compared 2 u u must be a gorrilla

  • @kingTNAlover Ahhh yes, the old "jealousy" argument. Is this your first time on the internet?

  • ROFL Snuka ate SHIT!

    Mucho respect, though.

  • Comment removed

  • well now he is on ESPN news.

  • Comment removed

  • @xdogjs I'd rather hear him do commentary instead of having The King and Michael Cole put me to sleep while watching Raw.

  • this whole video, from the von erich claw to the superfly splash, pretty much reminds me exactly why i never want to stop watching this damn stuff

  • "THE CLAW! THE VON ERICH CLAW! THE VON ERICH CLAW!"

    Rare for J.R to mark out to that extent when it doesn't involve Stone Cold. XD

    This was definitely a memorable RAW moment, and a memorable RAW overall, the "Homecoming" for their return to USA network. Unfortunate that even though it was just 4+ years ago, some of the people in that ring have already passed away (Fabulous Moolah, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams), but they were due to natural causes though.

  • Coachman obviously didn't understand the significance of the iron claw...

  • @Zhorellski

    ur dumb the claw wasnt the lamest move ever

    i want to see yew try to break out of it

    Cuz u wont hahahaha

  • @GraffingGoose : Whats this claw shite , is it just your hand on someone's forehead?

  • WHAO!!!!! WHAO!!!!! WHAO!!!!! No it's not u dumass!!!!! The Von Erich Claw is powerful because each finger goes timple to timple (that means each side of the forhead since ur so slow) and presses the nose upuntil it bleeds. It's A deadly move DUMFUCK!!!!!!!

  • Zhorellski

    I'd rather watch an old classic finisher like The Claw than the FU(Sorry...Attitude Adjustment)

  • @SolidMike84 That's cause they pushed the claw like it was devastating. The FU is a standing fireman's carry, no reason to consider that a big move except for the name. It's kinda sad that the legends who really learned the business can still get the crowd louder than almost every guy on the roster now and it's been a more than a decade since they were active.

  • @jst2evl

    Exactly, agree on everything

  • @SolidMike84 The attitude adjustment HAS to be the worst looking finisher in pro wrestling today (Maybe ever)

  • @dborgos33 the second worst, Hogan leg drop is the worst :)

  • i was happy when he did this

  • Long Live the VE Family!!!!!

  • @ArthurZ101 They died.

  • i no that.... its a saying

  • @ArthurZ101 Im sorry ,It was a dumb comment I made. I agree long live the Von Erichs!

  • and Von Erich or Iron Claw!!!!

  • same thing

  • Von Erichs forever

  • hahaha what a flop XD

  • For those of you that think its fake climb in there week after week ,your back hurts,your knees hurt, but you have to keep going cause your in the show no matter what thats why there are so many guys die young cause who can replace them if there in that show you cant so there for they do what ever it takes to wrestle..like if your in football if your hurt they have a replacement well not in wrestling

  • I think it's the roids and muscle-building diets that cause them to die young.

    When people say it's fake I think they mean "they are not actually hitting each other" etc. No-one says it wouldn't hurt sometimes and it isn't a hard job that requires a certain level of athleticism...

  • your a complete cunt have you ever been dropped on you head or torn a muscle and had to carry on because as we know its not fucking real and i'll also add when boxers get knocked its over when a wrestler gets accidentally knocked out yep you guessed we carry on. FUCK YOU HOW DARE HAVE AN OPINION ON SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CUNT!

  • @BennyElDiablo

    Yep. When a wrestler gets accidentally, and that is the operative word, accidentally knocked out, they are obligated to try and finish the performance, another operative word, PER-FOR-MANCE.

    When a boxer gets knocked out it is because they received blunt force trauma to the head and are counted out as per the rules of the sport. There's the other operative word. Sports. SP-ORT.

    Wrestling is not a SP-ORT. Boxing is a SP-ORT. Big difference there, mark boy.

  • bigpoopie69 i fucking dare you to get in the ring with me I'd have you begging for mercy after about 5 minutes

  • @BennyElDiablo

    I'll knock you out with a left hook. Boxing is a sport, wrestling is entertainment. How many wedgies have you gotten trying to defend yourself with 'rasslin moves? Probably so many your panties are permanently fused to your ass crack.

  • @bigpoopie69 , Have you ever seen a boxer on the ground ? Game over ! wrestlers bodies take alot more punnishment than a boxers.

  • @drquads

    Wrestler's assholes take a lot of punishment. Did you see when the Iron Sheik wrestled Hogan at MSG? Did you see the size of his err...Persian club? He was sporting an erection just before he put Hogan in the camel clutch. Popped his butt cherry right there. Fucked him in the ass and made him HUMBELL!!

    Happens all the time. Especially with that tight clothing.

  • They should have played "Stranglehold" for KVE.

  • it that monent was in 2009 that woulda been chavo instead of rob conway

  • mrswill, fuck you!!!!!!!!! if you don't like wrestling, fucking get lost!!!!

  • I am also glad the Von Erichs are dead. They were just embarassing themselves with the drugs and hookers and shit.

  • the best dynastyin wrestling!!! Von Erichs!!! whoeverdoesn't like that fucking get out of this vid!! plain and simple, nobody wants you here!!!!!!

  • mrswill, like i said fucking get lost!!!! that is why its called sports entertainment!! jackoff!!!! just see the movie The Wrestler, so you can understand a lil of what these guys go through! whatever just FUCK OFF LOSER!!!

  • Yeah spazzmatazz, I saw "The Wrestler". It made me realize...just how much I want to be a stripper.

  • you are just a fucking hater!!! fucking go hate on something else loser!!! bet if someone performed the claw or any other wrestling move you would be crying like a little BITCH !!! fuck you!!!

  • that's how ignorant you are! its sports entertainment! it's like saying movies are fake!

  • that is my point asswhipe!!! just because a movie is fake doesn't mean people are not gonna see it!!! just fuck off if you don't like qrestling, you can find something you like i am sure on you tube!!!

  • you again? thought you were a gonner! what would it take to get rid of you? yes i do have action figures, they are called collector's items! so what the fuck does it matter what i have? fuck off already!

  • well if there isn't i will bring some to your mom's house! i'm sure she will want to play with more toys! right lil guy?

  • kevins hands if you saw in the video is huge like a frying pan bigpoopie your a fucking fool ,i bet you take a big poopie because your dad fucked you up the ass so many times that your ass hole is all straetch out

  • @wheezel100

    Hey moron, a claw hold wouldn't make your granny submit. It is not a legit submission move. The only rasslin moves that can actually make you submit are the ones that stretch tendons and ligaments and most of them tend to be hard to apply against an unwilling opponent.

    Look up "mark" in the dictionary and you'll see your picture next to the definition!

  • Right mrwill, you don't care about ANYONE who is dead, do ya??:-p

  • What an idiot Rob Conway is---You should have known better you stupid..

  • Lacey please take some notes on how to do a claw.

  • wow, good times, friggin awesome

  • lmao jimmy doing the splash

  • Wow and this spot looked more real than anything I have seen on WWE in a long time. No wonder I prefer old school wrestling.

  • you will never see a crowd as loud as this on WWE anymore. they suck now.

  • You're not lying thecrowd be extra quiet now..

  • That was classic

  • What year was this?? Why were all the legends there??

  • 2005 they were doing a legends ceremony because they had done a big show to mark raw,s return to the usa network

  • Kinda weird to see a crowd watching closely as a guy gets crushed and enjoying it
