I remember back in the early 90s (starting in '91 I believe) this young good wrestler by the name of The Texas Tornado Kerry Von Erich first debuting on WWF TV. I remember thinking (and I was only 7 or so at the time) how this guy looked like he should be one of the best guys in wrestling. He was lean, he was strong, and he was quick. Looking back now, I can also see that he was good with fans, and the women absolutely SWOONED for him. Kerry Von Erich COULD have been a huge name that led the WWF after the departure of Hulk Hogan.
But, he wasn't. There was a whole host of problems going on with Kerry, and the Von Erichs in general, and those problems prohibited Kerry from ever reaching the top like I feel he should have. I won't bog down with those problems here, as you can find them many places, but it's a shame that Kerry could never rise above them.
What might have been, though, if Kerry had done better for himself? Would he have prevented the fall of the WWF in the early to mid 90s? Would WCW have ever overtaken WWF? Would the Attitude Era been even more successful? Would the Attitude Era have even happened?
What might have been if Kerry Von Erich had become the next great main-eventer?
