remember him, i just found 2 days ago back in the late 80's he had a bad motarcycle accident.  He had his foot amputated.  He went on to wrestle with prosthetic foot.  I never knew that, thats fuckin crazy

Kerry von Erich right? I read about that a few years ago. Amazing. I couldn't imagine walking let alone jumping and taking bumps with a prosthetic.

Theres a tale that his foot/boot was meant to have came off in the ring during a match & he just fixed up and continued

A good wrestler that was consumed by demons & pressure from the family name, one of wrestlings best families that ended in tradgey

3 killed themselves and 1 died of a drug overdose. The sickness was more of a cover up.

David - died from OD (not suicide)

Kerry - shot himself in head

Chris - shot himself in head

Mike - OD from Placidly (suice)

Jack - electrocuted when he was a child and died

Fritz - natural death (he was the father)

Kevin - still alive with a whole lot of bad memories.
