And, ironically, only one Von Erich brother. Very sad.

Sadly, most of the Von Erichs did that to themselves.

That's definitely a sad story there. I always felt terrible for Fritz and his wife, it's like the family was cursed.

Damn, I'm reading this just 2 days after watching the WCCW documentary. Roberts was on there talking with that electronic voice. Sad to hear.
