I remember watching WCCW back in the late 1980's on Espn and being pretty impressed by all of the Von Erichs.   The one who is still alive was my favorite.     
  
Didn't the first Von Erich kid die when he was 10 due to touching an electric cord or something? 
 
Yes that was Jack. He was shocked by a loose electical cord, was knocked out, and drowned in a melted snow puddle when he was 7. 
 
  
  
That was a sign, that things weren't going to turn out well. All but one brother dead before 35. They make the Hart Family look like the Nelson's.
