In Texas the legendary wrestler Fritz Von Erich (Jack Addkison) ran a wrestling promotion and gradually his sons began to work for him, making themselves heroes of the promotion and popualar grapplers across the US and as far as Japan. Mike, Kerry, Kevin, Chris and david all had various elvels of in ring aptitude and this dvd not only shows them at their peak, but explains the ups and downs of the young mens lives, drug dependency, suicide, overdoses and other incidents that lead to Kevin being the sole survvior of the family. This three hour dvd is told in great detail and includes some insightful interviews and memories by kevin, old footage, how the company kick started the tv revolution of wrestling and eventually losts its way as the WWE began to steal wrestlers and take over territories. Thsi is one release every fan should own.
