Pre-’86 Kerry von Erich
By Scott Keith on 16 October 2018
Hey Scott,
Have you seen any Kerry von Erich matches before he lost his foot? If so, how was he?
On a similar topic, there was ever a wrestler with a bigger upside that got completely squandered? KvE was able to become one of the greatest stars on just one foot. If that motorcycle accident hadn't happened, do you see him becoming the biggest star of the '90s?
Most of Kerry's documented career came before the accident. Really he was a much bigger star in the small pond of World Class than he was as the Texas Tornado. I would classify him as "Pretty damn good" and I've seen lots of great matches between him and Flair and a hell of a match between him and Harley Race.
I'd still vote for Magnum TA as the biggest waste of talent and potential, though. Kerry was gonna self-destruct regardless.
