CHRIS VON ERICH .. wht a joke.

[DutchTornado]

@williameva he accomplished more in the 22 years he was on this earth then you will in your entire life.

plus he had heart and thats another thing you dont have and will never have.

[janborrowitz]

[DutchTornado]

there is one more match that i know of where he teams with kevin, but i've never seen it.

[Lactanium]

Paul Bearer just Tweeted this :)

It's amazing how so many wrestlers die an untimely death. Kerry Mike Dave Chris Von Erich, Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, Chris Benoit, Guerrero, I mean... The list goes on.

Christ!! Even Jack Von Erich died of electrocution at age 6. That family was just cursed. Sad.

[MikeyWar]

Both Adams and Von Erich died of gunshot wounds. Weird.

@StuUngar People seem neither to respect or understand, the intense pain professional wrestlers endure, and the exceptional athleticism they MUST possess. Thus, participation at a high level; especially with more and more over the top physicality, these guys are often [not always] relegated to a toxic stew of painkillers for chronic injuries, and PED's [not necessarily steroids] to perform as expected. They go ALL out for the fans, but all people seem to want to do is criticize them. Pathetic.

[daTruChosen]

@StuUngar It's fucking scary. To have so many in the same nuclear family circle meet the same dark fate... it gives me chills whenever I think about it. I mean, it REALLY is eerie and, again, very very sad.

[StuUngar]

@haveapez There's a very big difference between steroids like cortisone or prednisone, which are basically anti-inflammatory meds and stanozolol or deca durabolin...which are synthetic testerosterone meds.

But based on Chris Von Erich's build in this video compared to a few years earlier, I'd bet the farm that CVE was taking anabolic steroids at this time. Kerry and Kevin def were. Mike and David probably did too.

[StuUngar]

@daTruChosen Anyways, I only knew Ernest Hemingway was some writer or some kind. When I read about more about him, it was like "Wow! That's the Hemingway bros exactly!" I snagged a quote about him from Wiki where someone described him as, "introverted and private, although (he) masked his nature with braggadocio."

That describes the Hemingway's I knew perfectly.

I think you're 100% correct about genetic predisposition to suicide, depression, etc.

[StuUngar]

@daTruChosen Funny you mention the Hemingway family. I was in a fraternity with two Hemingway boys. Idk how they were related, or even if they were direct descendants. But I know there was a relation, and they had a bit more money than the avg family. With that said they were very...odd. You'd think two "frat" boys with money and coming from a prosperous family would be the shit, or at least think they are.

They were two oddballs who always seemed like they were trying to fit in.

[TravisDrago]

Damn man Chris Tried so so hard

[peterp21]

@jacksiin1000 Chris did get on steroids. I believe though it was bad for him because his asthma made his bones brittle or something like that.

[Imadjinn]

At last, seeing Paul Bearer wrestle.

Thank you, internets.
