To the non wrestling fans that have watched or are going to watch The Iron Claw for the first time, make no mistake about it Fritz Von Erich loved his sons and they all loved him. Kevin Von Erich still speaks positively of his father to this day. Keep in mind he was never the same and never really learned how to cope with the loss of his first born son. Wrestling and success for himself and his family was the only way he could cope. Was he hard on his sons? Absolutely. Did he love his sons? Absolutely. It was just one heartbreaking tragedy after another. I highly recommend you watch Dark Side of the Ring: The Last of the Von Erichs to hear for yourself the real story behind the Von Erich family.

Had to share this pic from a Von Erich family fan account on Instagram that Kevin's son Marshall also posted in his stories today. This is a pic of the family back in the 70s when Kevin, David, and Kerry were all teenagers and Mike and Chris were little. Fascinating to me to see what they looked like pre-wrestling and weirdly I actually see Kevin and David here looking even more like Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson when they were younger. 😀

Most fans are already well versed on the many tragedies of the Von Erich family throughout the years. The combination of their rock star lifestyles and the insane amount of pressure to live up to the Von Erich name certainly caught up to them. Whether it was drugs, alcohol or the desire to make their father Fritz proud…each of the Von Erich tragedies have there own story. The one…
