- When I was in junior high I competed against (ok was slaughtered by) Mike Von Erich in the discus at a track meet.
- All of the brothers and Fritz were there.
- As a pretty little kid you simply cannot comprehend how big those guys seemed.
- Fritz
's voice was unbelievably deep and gravelly. - While he worked with Mike, Fritz barked at David or Kerry one,"Go get started helping that boy." motioning towards me!
- They both came over to the practice pit I was using. They were very patient and kind. I remember wishing they were my big brothers.
- They were giants.
- Fritz weighed 15 lbs at birth
- Kerry's foot was amputated after a motorcycle wreck. He continued performing and in fact kept his amputation a secret until another wrestler grabbed his boot during a match attempting to pull him out of the ring and pulled his prosthesis off.
