Kevin von Erich Biography
Kevin von Erich is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on May 15, 1957 in Belleville, Illinois, United States. One of the five von Erich brothers of the prominent wrestling family.
His brother Kerry von Erich was a WWE Hall of Fame inductee.
Adkisson is the last surviving son of wrestler Fritz Von Erich and had four brothers who wrestled, David, Kerry, Mike and Chris, as well as an older brother, Jack, who died in 1959.
Kevin started wrestling as Kevin Von Erich in 1976. He spent most of his career wrestling for his father’s promotion, World Class Championship Wrestling. Kevin’s natural athletic ability and good looks made him one of the promotion’s biggest stars. He achieved great success in the company both as a singles and tag team wrestler, often participating in many of the company’s high-profile feuds. Kevin was also known for wrestling barefoot, highly unusual in a sport where almost all wrestlers wear high-topped boots. World Class announcers often jokingly referred to him as “The Barefoot Boy” on WCCW broadcasts. Kevin later admitted in an interview that he never set out to wrestle barefoot, but that before one of his matches someone hid his boots as a joke, and he wasn’t able to find them before his match, so just went out barefoot to wrestle, and it later became his trademark. Contrary to popular belief, he wore boots in matches in his early career, including his debut match against Paul Perschmann aka Playboy Buddy Rose and in a match against Superfly Jimmy Snuka. Kevin was a big fan of Snuka’s, who also wrestled barefoot, and Kevin often performed a moved similar to Snuka’s flying body splash from the top rope, which Snuka calls The Superfly.
Tragically, he became the last surviving member of the Von Erich wrestling family.

As the early-1980s progressed, Kevin would appear often at other NWA-promoted territories, including St. Louis, Georgia Championship Wrestling and briefly Florida Championship Wrestling. Kevin also competed in a few matches for the World Wide Wrestling Federation.
A feud between the Von Erichs and Freebirds developed roughly a month later. During WCCW’s annual Christmas show in 1982, Kerry Von Erich faced Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship inside of a steel cage with Michael Hayes acting as a special referee. As explained in The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling DVD, the storyline, developed by Gary Hart, was written as Hayes having been selected by fans to be a special enforcer type of referee in the match. Near the end of the match, Flair shoved Hayes, which resulted in Hayes punching him. Hayes then tried to place Kerry on top of Flair to make the three count. Von Erich refused to do so since it wasn’t the “Texas thing to do”, which led to a brief shoving match and argument between the two. Hayes, disgusted with the situation, told Terry Gordy, who had been assigned as the gatekeeper, to open the cage door. As Hayes is about to leave Von Erich was attacked from behind by Ric Flair, with the former accidentally hitting Hayes and knocking him out of the cage. The angle was written as having neither Hayes nor Gordy being aware that Kerry was shoved into Hayes. As Kerry was getting to his feet inside the ring, that was the signal for Gordy to slam the cage door shut, hitting Kerry on the head and costing him the championship.
