Cool article.

 

Wrestling is indeed a cruel theatre of human triumph and tradegy.

I have a heavily clipped copy of that match on VHS.

 

Of course, I can't think of that match without thinking of...

 

"HEAVEN NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDED A CHAMPIOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN"...

Over at the kayfabememories.com, there is often heated discussion about David Von Erich's World title prospects... So the comment "By all accounts, David Von Erich was to be the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion." is not terribly accurate... go there to see why

[Guest My Eyebrow is on fire]

I'd rather not. Just post it.

[Guest JHawk]

Well, Tank, most of what I'd heard more or less had David pegged for at least a short reign around that time. So only today could I change "by all accounts" because this is the first I've heard that there might have been dissention toward it

[Guest tank_abbott]

I understand JHawk, no problem....

 

Good work otherwise!

Now here's a question I have. I remember hearing something about a Kerry Von Erich/Ric Flair match were Kerry was so coked out of his mind that Flair pretty much wrestled himself during the match. I'm not trying to start anything I just remember hearing that.
