| Heroes of
World Class Wrestling
In 1983 World Class Championship
Wrestling and its franchise stars, the Von Erich brothers, were
known around the world. A small Dallas based promotion running
out of a shack of a venue, the Sportatorium, World Class was one
of the most syndicated television programs in America, making
the Von Erichs household names. Run by legendary wrestler Fritz
Von Erich, a.k.a. Jack Adkinsson, World Class made his oldest
sons, Kevin, David and Kerry, three of the biggest stars in the
world of wrestling. Little did anyone know that just as the Von
Erichs and World Class were reaching worldwide stardom they
would begin a downfall that would cast a full eclipse on their
meteoric rise to fame. Directed by Brian Harrison who, as a ten
year old in 1983, watched on television as wrestling's world of
staged combat between good and evil took a sharp turn into a
surreal and tragic reality. Harrison heads to Texas to find his
childhood hero, Kevin Adkisson, a.k.a. Kevin Von Erich, the
oldest and sole surviving Von Erich brother. Harrison pays
tribute to the prime years of this legendary era and its fallen
stars.
