Von Erich mania about to begin again?

By
The sons of Kevin, Marshall and Ross, made the front page of the Dallas Times today in an article about there debuts.
Looks like they will be in Japan for a few months touring. They look in fantastic shape and Marshall, the youngest son of Kevin even wrestles barefoot like his father!

Maybe they'll even get into WWE developmental so that they can have their names changed be the sons of Johnny Rodz and Frankie Williams and then they can feud with each other and trade wins 50/50 on NXT for the next three years.

    Kevin Von Erich grabs me as a good man who has dealt with his family's tragic history with a lot of grace. And that he's allowed his family to get back into this business, and not tried to block it, hopeful that things can be different with this generation is in some ways inspiring and admirable.

    But I can't help but be worried about this.

    I always thought Von Erich Mania would be my nickname for the erection in my pants whenever Lacey started to leak nude pics.

    Lacey turned out OK. (An untalented bimbo, but otherwise OK.)

    I do think the idea of the son of a jobber trying to redeem his family's name is a good idea someone should use/steal from whatever territory ran it that I'm totally ignorant of. Or have Heath Slater reveal he's the bastard child of the Red Rooster. Whatever.

    Go fig, I just watched the Triumph and Tragedy doc last night. I absolutely agree with you about Kevin's character, and I think - well, hope - that, plus the more business-oriented approach on the NXT level, at least, might help these two steer clear of things. I can't see Dragon Gate or ROH wanting to mess anything up with them, either.

    It's sad that we have a pro wrestling environment today in which what Scott said may actually happen.  WTF.

    I'm certain you put in "may" when you meant "will."

     I'm sorry but  "bastard child of the red rooster" is the funniest phrase I've heard all weekend.  Thank you for that.

     Yeah, almost everything Kevin's said and done seems to be with dignity.  I didn't even get the chance to watch World Class that much due to my age, but I just about start crying when I hear him talk about his brothers and what he's had to endure.  I have five brothers in my family, and thankfully, all of them are healthy and relatively happy.

    Totally agree with your post.

    WWE wants a trademark.  Nothing wrong with that.

    I dig how Kevin kept it safe and named his sons after department stores. Ross, Marshall, and of course his youngest Mervyn.

    There is something wrong with that when it doesn't help a guy get over.  In fact, sometimes, these guys have to overcome their dumb name because it's as generic as the next guy.  They have to start from scratch to market a guy instead of having something the fans can immediately attach themselves to.  Is it a guarantee?  Of course not, but it sure as hell helps.

    Have you ever seen Heroes Of World Class? I got it after seeing Triumph and Tragedy and it's even more moving (to me, anyway).
