Hey, ESPN didn't shit on pro wrestling for once.

Go figure.

Yea, it was short but quality imo.

The only interviews were with Kevin and a wrestling journalist.

If anything, it would have been an ideal time to do so. The Von Erichs were victims of an unregulated time in wrestling [80s/90s] with a family of kids who were allowed to do anything they wanted because they were seen as gods in their hometown.

Cool video. I was a Kerry and Kevin fan when I was a kid. Texas Tornado was one my favorites.

I was shocked that they didn't go that route to be honest. I'll admit that getting Bill Apter for the piece was cool. Didn't think ESPN had the journalistic fortitude to go that deep and get someone behind the scenes as embedded in pro wrestling as Apter.

It was pretty good but I wish it would have been an hour long. Such a tragedy struck family.

Didn't Kerry's daughter wrestle in TNA for a while? I wonder if she is still wrestling.

and it said that Kevin's sons are getting into the business. I wonder where they wrestle.

Lacey Von Erich. Last thing I've heard of her was she was in a custody battle over her son and retired. I think she just models now.

Kevin's sons made 2 appearances in TNA, at Slammiversary and at one of the future One Night Only shows.
