For 6'3'' this guy must have dwarfed his competitors. He actually had some potential.
Dude was NOWHERE near 6'3". That was his KAYFABE billing. He was more in the 5'11". He wore platform boots with huge insoles to face Hulk Hogan who at the time was a legit 6'5"/6'6" guy (Hogan's only about 6'2"/6'3" today after serious height loss). Here he is next to legit 6'2" Kerry Von Erich.
David Von Erich was right around 6'6 and looks to have a good 3 or 4 inches on Kerry here so you are probably right.
kevin was no slouch build wise lean and chiseled..kerry had shape and thickness depending on yr and cycles..
The Von Erichs were so enormous in Texas back in the day, they got more pussy than most rock stars. When the Fabulous Freebirds came to town to feud with the Von Erichs it was utter mayhem. The youngest of the brothers, Chris, had poor health and had no business in the ring. He was only allowed to wrestle Percy Pringle in tag matches teaming with Chris Adams vs Pringle and Steve Austin. Ric Flair stated that Kerry was completely fucked up on drugs and only cared about pussy.
rated you are right the von erichs were huge in texas in the early 80's hell fritz built a promotion on them , i cant believe they all died except for kevin.
this guy looked the best and was legitly tough, he knocked out warrior backstge, has been confirmed by many wrestlers, was also a pretty good arm wrestler
Paul Roma and Jim Powers probably had the best BBing potential out of all the wrestlers. (Next to Tony Atlas)
