Who were the Von Erichs ?
Technically speaking, there were no Von Erichs. The Adkisson family adopted the "Von Erich" persona as their wrestling name for many years. Throughout the years, there has been no fewer than 8 Von Erich family members competing in pro wrestling, making them one of the true wrestling families of the new era. They included Fritz, Waldo, Kevin, David, Kerry, Chris, Mike, Lance and Mark. Kerry achieved the most success in the ring (WCW champion and WWF I-C champion) and is also important to note that not all members of the "Von Erich" family were really related.
Why are they called a "tragedy" ?
David was found dead in his hotel room in 1984, Kerry shot himself in the chest in 1993, Mike died in 1987 due to an overdose (intentional), Chris died due to a self-inflicted gun shot wound in 1991 I believe and Fritz, the father, died in 1997 after a battle with lung cancer. Kevin Von Erich is the only suriving son of Fritz.
