  Kevin Von Erich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin Ross Adkisson (born May 15, 1957) is a retired professional wrestler under the ring name Kevin Von Erich of the famous Von Erich Family.
Kevin Adkisson played football at North Texas State University as a fullback until an injury ended his football career and dream of playing in the National Football League.
Kevin was also known for wrestling barefoot, highly unusual in a sport where almost all wrestlers wear high-topped boots.

 Wrestling with Tragedy
Kevin Von Erich can still intimidate you simply by being, yet it's almost as though he is hiding the strength in his body and in those hands.
Kevin -- dressed this cool November afternoon in a plaid flannel shirt, faded jeans, and a pair of flip-flops -- says he is not in any pain, physical or emotional.
Kevin often says that when people first meet him these days, they treat him as though he is "a ghost." There are those who wonder why he is not dead or how he kept from becoming another dead Von Erich.

Adkisson later admitted that he took much of his pain and frustration out on his opponents inside the ring during that painful time in his life.
Chris Adkisson, the youngest brother, had been born with asthma, and his growth was stunted as a child.
Adkisson, who was one of pro wrestling's most respected performers, promoters, and businessmen will be sorely missed not only by those who knew Jack Adkisson, the man...but also by those who watched Fritz Von Erich (and his blood-drawing, unbreakable Iron Claw) in the ring for so many years.

Even patriarch Jack Adkisson, better known as the goose-stepping, Nazi-sympathizing Fritz Von Erich, became a hero--a good businessman who helped turn wrestling into a million-dollar enterprise, a good Christian who spoke in front of church groups, a good father who had no answers for why his boys died before he did.

Kevin said that of the five remaining sons, they always knew which one was Fritz's favorite, which was his second favorite, and so on.
