I hear a lot about this family since I'm in Texas. Had to watch! You visited my cousin in Houston, Laura Smither. Her killer finally got convicted last year by the way!❤ I was there.
My prayers are with you and your family! I am so so so very sorry for you and your family’s loss! It must have been hard for you to see your cousin’s killer face to face! I am glad to hear that justice has finally been served! 😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am 45 years old, I live in Fort Worth Texas and I was very fortunate enough to see all of the von Eric‘s wrestle here at Will Rogers Memorial Center that is in the downtown center of Fort Worth. This was in the 80s when a lot of iconic rest were up-and-coming, great times I will never forget these
Please excuse my misprint on the previous comment, I am totally blind and I use what it’s called voiceover dictation talk to text, but it’s supposed to say up and coming wrestlers. Thank you once again.
Kevin has to be one of the strongest people mentally and emotionally I can think of. How he didn't lose it after all the tragedy in his life (and was able to rebuild so positively with his own family) I will never know.
@@billymarino4452he was close. Watch the dark side of the ring and he said he almost stole a shotgun. The clerk stopped him and he broke down. He’s so strong and has a great relationship with his family
I always feel bad for the Mom… poor lady. I’m from Texas and I knew the story but nobody ever talks about how losing all but one son ❤️broke her heart.. 17:02
Exactly my thought. My youngest son died in 2021 while eldest son was in ICU fighting for his own life. I still am grappling with losing the younger but God let the other live. I feel horrible for this woman.
Bret tried so hard to convince Kerry that his kids needed him. He thought, he had finally convinced Kerry to "not do it". When he found out, Bret was devastated, and wished he could have done more.
I grew up in east Texas with the Von Erich's and being related to them and spending time with them at the ranch and in Tyler Texas I feel blessed to have had them in my life..thank you for making a nice video&being so respectful. ❤
Kevin Von Erich, the surviving brother, is an inspiration. I encourage people to listen to him talk. His two sons are wrestlers and his two daughters are managing the Von Erich Family RUclips channel. They also bring on Kerry’s daughters. They have live streams where they share memories of Kerry, Mike and Chris. Also of their grandparents. They focus on the positives. They also interview the children of the other wrestlers who have passed on etc so they can share their positive stories of their loved ones.
My uncle was a pretty close friend to david. He told my mom that they were at the bar one night, and david mentioned a sharp pain in his belly and even crouched over in pain. My uncle and his friends said you should get it checked out. David said he had already made a gastrologist appointment due to his concern as this wasn't the first time, but thought it was a pulled muscle at best. There was a scheduling conflict and he had to cancel the appointment to fly over to japan. Had he gone, the doctors would have probably found out his intestine was ruptured. Tragic timing. Definitely a curse of some sort was placed on this family. Kevin was the only one that acknowledged fought against it and because of that, is alive to this day. RIP Von Erichs
I absolutely loved the Von Erich’s growing up. I stood in line at town east for hours to get Kerry’s autograph. Lots of of my family and friends are buried at that cemetery as well. Thanks for the video. ❤
As a Texan, I saw this family wrestle in person at the sportatorium so many times, I met David Manning when his Mom was in the hospital where I worked, & once David Von Erich was thrown out of the ring by King Kong Bundy & landed right in my lap, almost broke my leg!! I didn’t even care, I was mesmerized, & Kerry was my high school crush. I still have signed pics by David, Kevin, & Kerry ❤ Their deaths just devastated me. I cried like I had lost a family member. Such a sad tragic story. RIP Von Erich’s ❤❤❤
100% The most Tragic Events in all of wrestling with the Von Erich. The Mother Dorris was the Glue that held that family together. Rumors have it those boys could party with the best of them. The Von Erich’s were Like Movie Stars in Texas and WCCW. Some of my Favorite matches of all time are Kerry vs Chris Adams , Kevin vs Chris Adams and anything with The Free Birds.
Hey Lamont I live in Dallas and My family loved watching the Von Erich’s on Saturday Nights on World Class Wrestling. I live in Dallas only correction is the Dallas Texans were owned by Lamar Hunt and within a year of the creation of the Dallas Cowboys he moved the team to Kansas City and they became the Kansas City Chiefs. If you look at the Chiefs throwback helmet logo. It’s basically an outline of the state of Texas. Keep bringing the good vids.
Actually there were two different incarnations of The Dallas Texans. THE 1952 Team which Fritz played for actually was an NFL team. Lasted only one season. After the team folded it's assets were awarded to The Baltimore Colts who was a new franchise at the time. The other Dallas Texans who did move to Kansas City and become The Chiefs were , originally, a charter team of the AFL in 1959 and left Big D for KC in 1963.
I could add a lot to your story, I lived in Shady Shores, right near the Von Erich’s, mom, dad, Mike and Chris lived on Fritz lane in the family home, and David, Kevin and Kerry lived in a little wood framed house on Shady Shores. They were about a mile down the road from us, and they’d have parties so loud we could clearly hear the music lol. We were enraptured living so close, my brother was the same age as Chris and he spent a lot of time at their house. There IS a lot I won’t say about the two younger ones since they aren’t here to defend or rather explain themselves. But the older brothers worked out every single day, and one afternoon Kerry was in the home ring and invited Chris and my brother to come tussle around, the boys were around 10-11 or so at the time, my brother tried to punch Kerry on his back, hit his shoulder blade and shattered his wrist. Our mom was the “I will sue you!” Type so my brother told her he broke it while jumping the ditches down Fritz Lane 😂 Mom never knew lol, we did get tickets to go to the SportAtorium from time to time and our dad loved it! Imagine our surprise when we were watching a wrestling program and the Free Birds, their major nemeses team, THE BAD GUYS, was sitting around a pool talking about how they were going to beat The Von Erich’s and they were AT the Von Erich’s house, that was their POOL!
Thx for sharing Lamont! Love the Von Erichs ❤ Im a wrestling fan. 80's baby here. I started watching wrestling in the 90's. Now, on Peacock, Im enjoying watching World Class championship wrestling. RIP to the Von Erich family. My heart goes out to Kevin ❤
I really love how you add more photos and even video clips to your videos. It’s great to put all the faces together. I’m sure it’s more work for you but it is appreciated.. thank you for all your hard work.
Ty so much for doing a Von Erich story.. I remember coming home from the skating rink and my grandpa recorded it all for me, he never forgot. Im glad I got to see them all wrestle. Ty Lamont for bringing some good memories back, its appreciated. Stay safe❤
I met Kerry through my aunt. He came to wrestle in my home town and my aunt was the nurse behind the scenes making sure the wrestlers were all fit and able to go on. Seemed nice enough.
I'm very happy to finally see this video being done I think I suggested that Lamont do this video a long time ago videos have been done on the von Erichs before I thought Lamont could do a really good video on the von Erichs because of how he tells stories good job on the video Lamont
Great video Lamont!!! I always watch as soon as I seen the notification. You did their story justice, and being from Dallas and my dad teaching me from very young who they were, and I was able to watch half of them. I was born in 82, so I was at the perfect age to watch the ultimate warrior and the Texas tornado wrestle together and then when they separated the tag team, I still loved both of them the most of any wrestlers. My twin brother was a Hulkamaniac. So many times we pretended and wrestled against each other as them. It was great, then to hear as more of them kept dying, my dad would just cry. It was a truly gifted family that didn't get to reach it's full potential because fate had other plans. Great vid keep up doing what you do. We all love it 😊thanks for your hard work.
Grew up in Lawton, Ok. Loved watching the Von Erichs wrestle the T-birds live. Von Erics were my favorite wrestlers at the time. Great Job on the video, Lamont🤙Much love
Such a tragic story. Kevin is the lone survivor. Thanks Lamont for doing such a great job honoring the Von Erichs. Owen Hart's & Eddie Guerrero's deaths were just as tragic. Especially Owen's who's death was a tragic accident. By the way, the Dallas Texans are now the Kansas City Chiefs. I remember Kerry in the WWF when he beat "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig to win the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam in 1990. RIP🙏the🪦entire ⚰️Von Erich family.
If you ever come to lawrence kansas again, It would be cool to meet you. After all, lawrence has one of the only natural true burial section in the USA. 100% compost section let alone the history of lawrence ks anyway. Lol. I've been falling you for years now and I enjoy your truthful bluntness and accuracies in the people who you dedicate your time to research. Best wishes to you and thanks for covering the untouched stories of people who have passed on. Blessings to you for your future travels. I also think of the Hart family too. My husband is a huge multi decade * old schoolWWF* 80's child fan. Thank you Lamont.
When I was a pre teenager I met him in the halls of the Sam Houston Colisium in Houston after a match that our family went to & we were the only ones walking down the hall late as wrestlers would leave late (it's how I became a groupie early in my life) & he signed my autograph book that I wish I still had. This is so sad. I know where they all went. I had a crush on Kerry too. So achingly sad
I have to admit my favorite was Kerry. I grew up watching wrestling with my brother. That family was famous for THE CLAW. It was always entertaining! Thanks for reliving a part of my life. 👍😊
Wow very very sad story! My home town is close to Calgary, where the Hart family was while know. I remember the Texas Tornadoe! Thanks, Lamont. very interesting story.
Thank you Lamont for this one. Well done and respectfull!!! I live in Athens Texas and would get tickets every for my bithday. I watch then every saterday night. I got to meet Kevin and Christ Admas for my 16 birthday. They were so nice and did a favor for my them.brother in law who was a police in this county. That was great day. They also move out in the last years to Edon Texas close to our fram. I still think about it when i go down that road. Once again thanm you.
It’s been a while Lamont. I grew up w/wrestling too & remember the Von Erich tragedy’s. I respect the journey that you do everyone doesn’t feel comfortable in cemeteries & graveyards. (I know you know the difference) Do you ever get contacted by spirits of the deceased?
Thank you for doing this video. I remember them very well.I watched them all the time in the 80s when I lived in Florida. We watched wrestling everyday down there.RIP to the Von Erich's.and to to all the wrestlers we lost along the way.Kevin we love you stay strong...
Growing up in Lake Dallas where they were very popular just hits home! Fritz would come in the little grocery store that I worked in as well as his parents….just the sweetest people! Such a tragedy for our small town as each one of them passed 💔
My uncle Bob was a bodyguard and walked them to the ring. My mom would take us to watch them wrestle every weekend in Fort Worth. I used to kick it with Mike and Chris before they started wrestling. Thanks for doing a video on the Atkinson family.
The Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs in 1959. Then in 1960 the Dallas Cowboys were an expansion Team. I Love how You research and get information about the Wrestlers before You did the Story Lamont it's awesome Brother! Keep doing what You do Brother it's really amazing! As a Wrestling Fan I remember the Von Eric's very well! Such a sad and tragic story Brother.
Actually, Lamont, KDOC channel 56 had WCCW in LA in the early mid 80s. I’m a few years older than you, but I remember watching that promotion, one of the first shows I ever watched was right after David Von Erich died.
You should do a video about the Anderson Family. On December 24th, 2007 (in Carnation, WA), 6 members of the Anderson Family were gunned down by their daughter/sister/sister-in-law/aunt, and her deranged boyfriend. The crime was incredibly horrific, and the two murderers were sentenced to life in prison.
Our city had their wrestling on tv. Loved all the von Erichs. Remember freebird fight and the fight between chris adams and gino hernandez. I never knew until after Kerry killed himself that he lost his foot. Such a tragedy 😢 glad Kevin has peace now in Hawaii with his family.
My mom loved Wrestling at the Chase and we watched every Saturday. I had a huge crush on Kerry Von Erich. So sad that this family had to go thru this. Their poor parents.
I always wanted to go to the Chase and see them live, but my parents refused. I only lived about 20 minutes away from the Chase Park Plaza. I'm glad to see it's reopened and doing well, but I really wanted to see the Von Erichs there
What a very sad, sad story. The deaths must have been hard on every one particularly the parents. I am glad that they are all reunited in Heaven. May they all rest in peace. Another great video, Lamont--thank you!
Job well done Lamont. not sure if you seen it yet but the movie the iron claw shows their life and their tragic endings , they did leave out chris' story though in the movie. I do recommend it to wrestling fans to watch it will explain a lot about the von erichs , how the curse came about etc..

Kevin said one of the saddest things I have ever read: "I used to have four brothers, now I´m not even a brother".
U will have your brothers
❤
I can relate to that
That's so sad..I cannot imagine the pain he has suffered, losing so many family members.

My Condolences to the family God Bless.

So glad you and your family are finally getting justice. Hopefully this brought some kind of closure. Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏽💙

I'm glad Kevin is still with us. He is married with 4 children and I saw an interview with him where he said he cherishes being here with his family.

It's very sad about the Von Erich family. One tragedy after another. Thanks for this video, Lamont.
What a fascinating story Lamont. You did it so well as usual. So very tragic. ❤😮
Very sad for an extremely talented family Lamont you rocked this once again thanks for the great story and RIP to this family!

My great grandmother is in Grove Hill. A lot of Dallas and Texas history rests there
My enitre family is there. And multiple family members have worked there in last 30 years.
I Thank you so much Lamont for this Video. My first time of hearing about this story.
I was not a wrestling fan, but heard of this family because my cousin had a crush on Kerry Van Erick . This was so tragic.
I really love how you add more photos and even video clips to your videos. It’s great to put all the faces together. I’m sure it’s more work for you but it is appreciated.. thank you for all your hard work.
Very informative video. Thanks for making it!
Texas native here. I saw Kerry wrestle in Cleburne, Texas in the early 80’s. He was so nice to his fans.
I met all of them as a kid, my dad was the chef engineer of channel 39 when they broadcast at the sportatirium in downtown Dallas.
BRO ITS crazy HOW MUCH YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN !!! I REMEMBER YOUR OLD STUFF WHEN YOU HAD NOTNING BUT YOUR VAN! GOOD STUFF
I just saw the "Iron Claw" movie last night. I enjoyed the movie. It's such a sad story about the Von Erich's.😊
Ty so much for doing a Von Erich story.. I remember coming home from the skating rink and my grandpa recorded it all for me, he never forgot. Im glad I got to see them all wrestle. Ty Lamont for bringing some good memories back, its appreciated. Stay safe❤
Very interesting story Lamont! I had never heard of them before this! What a sad and tragic ending for the whole family!! Keep up the great videos!!
I remember Fritz Von Erich fighting Cowboy Bob Ellis in the 60’s. Yes, I’m that old.
Me as well. lol
Frits was a controlling father
Ooo finally something wrestling related. Instant liking this video
I met Kerry through my aunt. He came to wrestle in my home town and my aunt was the nurse behind the scenes making sure the wrestlers were all fit and able to go on. Seemed nice enough.
I wonder if she knew Kerry was wrestling with a prosthetic leg. That is crazy
@@pinebarrenpatriot8289 I doubt it. If he showered with his boots on I doubt many knew. She was just checking BP and heart rates and such

My uncle Bob was a bodyguard and walked them to the ring. My mom would take us to watch them wrestle every weekend in Fort Worth. I used to kick it with Mike and Chris before they started wrestling. Thanks for doing a video on the Atkinson family.
The Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs in 1959.
Then in 1960 the Dallas Cowboys were an expansion Team.
I Love how You research and get information about the Wrestlers before You did the Story Lamont it's awesome Brother!
Keep doing what You do Brother it's really amazing!

Such a sad and tragic story Brother.
Thanks for posting this
Actually, Lamont, KDOC channel 56 had WCCW in LA in the early mid 80s. I’m a few years older than you, but I remember watching that promotion, one of the first shows I ever watched was right after David Von Erich died.
Beautiful family with a very sad story behind them -- 😪
I love your videos lamont 💟
You should do a video about the Anderson Family. On December 24th, 2007 (in Carnation, WA), 6 members of the Anderson Family were gunned down by their daughter/sister/sister-in-law/aunt, and her deranged boyfriend. The crime was incredibly horrific, and the two murderers were sentenced to life in prison.
What does this have to do with this story?
Such a sad story. I can’t imagine the pain and grief the parents and Kevin went through. I’m surprised they’re not all buried alongside each other
Yeah that's a crazy situation with the bond Eric's and Chris Benoit love your videos man
Our city had their wrestling on tv. Loved all the von Erichs. Remember freebird fight and the fight between chris adams and gino hernandez. I never knew until after Kerry killed himself that he lost his foot. Such a tragedy 😢 glad Kevin has peace now in Hawaii with his family.
Behind the Titantron didn't give half the information about Fritz Von Erich that you did. Great job. I'd like to see you do more like this ❤
one of the greatest wrestling families such a tragedy what they have gone through
❤❤❤❤❤❤Youre awesome LaMont. This story is very touching ive always like heard about this family. But never really knew. Now i do!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a tragic story watched them growing up thanks for the great reporting Lemont peace
My mom loved Wrestling at the Chase and we watched every Saturday. I had a huge crush on Kerry Von Erich. So sad that this family had to go thru this. Their poor parents.
I always wanted to go to the Chase and see them live, but my parents refused. I only lived about 20 minutes away from the Chase Park Plaza. I'm glad to see it's reopened and doing well, but I really wanted to see the Von Erichs there

LOVE ALL UR VIDEO'S ❤❤❤ KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK THANK YOU 🙏🏽
I grew up watching this wrestling family. Kevin Von Erich is the only one with us. They were all great. RIP
Thanx Lamont 😊
What a very sad, sad story. The deaths must have been hard on every one particularly the parents. I am glad that they are all reunited in Heaven. May they all rest in peace. Another great video, Lamont--thank you!
I really like the style of this video! Great job 👏🏻
Job well done Lamont. not sure if you seen it yet but the movie the iron claw shows their life and their tragic endings , they did leave out chris' story though in the movie. I do recommend it to wrestling fans to watch it will explain a lot about the von erichs , how the curse came about etc..
Sad story in the Von Erich history great job Lamont was a fan of the Von Erich’s in my early years
You’re content is 🔥
How tragic! 😢
Thank you Lamont.
Safe journeys to you 🙏🕊️
My pawpaw is buried literally across the street from the Von Erich’s graves
