Shaking Hands With Kerry Von Erich

[Guest jameswithers]

I didn't intend to meet Kerry Von Erich, but I still remember it today even though it happened almost 20 years ago. Kerry was the biggest man I have ever shaken hands with, but it seems that he was also very troubled. I didn't know it at the time, but his family had already suffered terrible tragedies (and they were soon to suffer more).

 

I've thought about him many times since then, and I've written an article about the experience: Shaking Hands With Kerry Von Erich

 

Who's the most memorable wrestler you've ever shaken hands with?

Most well known? Hogan or Austin. Memorable, Pillman.

Dusty Rhodes at an indy promotion over 4 years ago. Even got his autograph too.

Rob Van Dam when he was in Birmingham during a meet and greet for Guilty as Charged 2000...

 

High as a kite but extremely nice.
