    Mike Von Erich was and is important to the Von Erich Legacy. Mike was improving significantly in the ring before the toxic shock syndrome. RIP to the legend that is Mike Von Erich you are missed!

    This is what I didn't like about The Iron Claw movie..they acted like Mike had no career at all.He was married, he was PWI rookie of the year and he was decent in the ring.
    Thank you for another excellent bio!

      @@jefferysteen1041 Mike was married less than a year 3 months in they separated so that was not necessary in the movie remember the character in the movie was Mike with a blend of Chris it is unfortunate they left Chris out given he would be the most hurt by that The movie could only hold so much tragedy

    Akbar was a perfect first opponent for Mike. He had the skills to make anyone look good and he was unselfish enough to put Mike over. In a shoot Ak would have made short work of Mike, but he was gladly willing to give the spotlight to another to help further their career. Skandar actually thought highly of all the boys.

      That's what I've thought. They knew Akbar would take care of him in the ring. Kind of like Kerry having his first match against Gary Hart.

      Mike wanted to be a musician, he wanted to do camera work for WCCW there should never have been any reason, even in his own mind, that he needed to live up to anyone He was talented, loving, funny, caring and brilliant at what he had passion to do and went out of his way for so many

    Mike was alright. He was avg or so. Which was good enough in my book, not everyone's gonna be a bright star. Really too bad that, that ate him up, along with probably some brain damage when he had that fever?

      @@Sammy_Boy_Smith he wasn’t meant to be a star, in fact he was only suppose to have a brief stint wrestling leading up to David’s bout with Flair. Sadly that didn’t happen and here we are without one of the most loving, funny, caring men anyone could ask for. He was exceptional at playing the guitar and he wanted to do camera work for WCCW. Mike also suffered head injury from a roll over accident after the toxic shock

    After Mike's near-death bout with toxic shock syndrome, Fritz wheeled what was practically a stuttering corpse to that press conference so they could promote the second Cotton Bowl show (watch the actual press conference and how they are blatantly promoting the show and had clearly given Mike lines to say, which he couldn't remember because his brain was mush).
    Even after it was clear that Mike would *NEVER* be the same (he was never good to begin with) and he couldn't even make it through promos, Fritz still made Mike go out there and be his performing monkey until he finally killed himself.
