Caught this on netflix last night. Highly recommended for any pro wrestling fan. The story of the legendary Von Erichs is amazingly sad. I suggest you watch whenever you can.

Brickhouse Brown had a great/funny story about Kevin Von Erich.
He said he went into the locker room one day and saw Kevin crying, and he asked him why was he crying. Kevin said his dad hates him because he gave him $15k for Christmas and the rest of his brothers got $25k a piece. Brickhouse was like "shidddddd, I'd think my father loved me to death if he gave me $100 at any given time, but $15k and you crying? You ungrateful as all hell. " -

All of the brothers that got 25k are dead now. Sucks about his family -
Might check it out

Before the 5 famous brothers, it was one who was born before them who died of an electric shock, something similar to that. Also Daniel Bryan (before the ? hair) looks like a Von Erich.
