I always enjoyed the work of Kerry from what I saw of them, are you from Texas by any chance Wacko? They were huge down there in the 70s/80s weren't they? Such a shame about the tragedy which followed their family.
Yes. Born and raised in Texas. I grew up watching WCCW (that's World Class Championship Wrestling for those not in the know) from Dallas.
Kerry was a bronze god, but Kevin was so much of a better wrestler (and he's the only one of the boys who's still alive, for that matter). Fritz had a house in Flint just outside of Tyler (where I grew up, about 100 miles east of Dallas). He used to do ads for a locally-owned sporting goods store in Tyler called the Sportster and could actually be found there regularly, which is where I got to meet him, Kevin, and Kerry when I was a little kid. Fritz put the Iron Claw on me and whispered that I was supposed to pretend it hurt. When I did, he told me I had a career in pro wrestling because I knew how to sell.
