  • The Von Erich Family: Wrestling Legacy Warped by Tragedy
    Oct 17 2022

    Today I'm going to tell you about the Von Erich's, a wrestling family that was full of success but warped by tremendous tragedy. The father of the family was Fritz and he began his wrestling career in the early 50s an evil nazi villian. When he was ready to retire and raise his family he began work as a promoter with the WCCW. Fritz would have 6 sons and all but 1 passed away tragically early. Join for me as I tell about the sons, their lives, accomplishments, and tragic fates. It's described as a story of incredible success or a cautionary tale depending on who you talk too.
