Summary
This week, we look at some good ol' Texas style tragedy! He was royalty in the world of wrestling, along with his father & brothers. They were worshipped by the locals, and idolized by fans, all over the world... For a while. Drugs, arrests, tragedy, a nasty motorcycle accident, and the loss of his brothers were just more than he could handle, as he slipped further down a path of destruction! This one is deep with crazy!
Fight off adoring women as you walk to the ring, wrap a large bag of painkillers around your genitals, and always pass in the left lane with Kerry Von Erich!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
