OT - The Von Erichs

[Fortress Frog]

This was a documentary that was made a while back. It's pretty good.

This is definitely the best documentary I’ve ever seen on WCCW. Doesn’t just cover the Von Erichs (although it still does a lot) but several other of their biggest stars, some of whom also had mysterious deaths. Also extensively talks about the rise and fall of WCCW.

damn near text book for a greek or shakespearean family story

possibly the kennedy's of wrestling ?

Or, the Kennedys are the Von Erichs of politics.

Whoa, trip down memory lane! I remember a lot of those matches in the documentary. The Gordy boot, the David VE win with the claw, the 6 man with Von Erichs vs. the Freebirds...wow. This is awesome!

I should've quoted BMoney on this reply since he's the one that originally posted it. Still...wow!
