Kevin Von Erich Unleashed

He says: "My wrestling days were great. I remember having swollen knees at that time, but I stepped into that ring and I felt I could go again -- and I did. You feel that crowd and man, you're there. A lot of memories run together when you spend so much of your time wrestling, but I will always remember being able to step into the ring with the likes of Bruiser Brody and Terry Gordy, among many others. There are many big moments for me beyond that, for example meeting Jack Brisco when I was just a 17-year-old kid -- every moment to me was special when I first broke into the business. In one of the arenas, the lights above made a cross, and my brothers and I would always look up to those lights, slap each other on the backs, and go out there and perform. Then I was looking up at those lights, and I was all alone. WWE went from being a great experience, to drastically turning at the end. My situation was so different because I lost my brothers. I knew I didn't want to get old in the ring. The real thing that took me out of the business was that it wasn't fun anymore. Everything reminded me of my brothers. I have my four kids, and I even brought my mother out there. My son Ross is 18, and he is the spitting image of my brother Kerry. He is a real good running back, but he hurt his knee, so I encouraged him to drop football. We talked about him getting into wrestling a little, but he wants to play for University of Hawaii. A wild man who loves to surf. My daughter Kristen handles all my business, and then my other daughter Jill is still in Texas, finishing things up on the ranch I just sold, and then she will join us out here. Would I love being in that ring again. Heck, yeah. If I were still going, I would love it. It would be like going to the old territories and trying to make a name for yourself by seeking out and killing the king of the mountain. If you want to be a king, you have to kill a king, that is just the way the business works. I see myself in Shawn a bit, because we both looked up to Jose Lothario, so watching Shawn brings me back. Thanks for not forgetting me because I enjoyed everything I did. It was the very best I could do…it was the very best my brothers could do and for letting me be in this Legend Unleashed tournament-- so thank you."
