"Pride" is the most common word in
his family and in his home state of
Texas, so Kerry Von Erich has more going
for him than almost any ring master.
Kerry has shown signs that he will fly
even higher than his father, Fritz, and
his brothers, Kevin and the late David
(all legends in mat warfare). Fans knew
that Kerry was special in 1984, when he
triumphed over Ric Flair to win the NWA
Heavyweight title. Flair managed to
squeeze out a victory in a return match,
but anyone who has seen Kerry's attack
in the ring knows that he's the real
thing.
