      Chyna was especially sad. 😢
      IRL Joannie Laurer was a very feminine and-for her size-remarkably dainty woman who wore skirts and makeup everyday. Vince Russo, though, made her into a bull dyke character who wrestled men, acted dominant and masculine, and degenerated herself on TV.
      After WWE, she tried to work in other (women's) athletic pursuits, but because of her reputation and typecasting, nobody gave her a chance. The only work she could get-despite being a phenomenal athlete-was in a celebrity boxing match against Joey Buttafuoco.
      The match (naturally) had to be stopped in the 1st round before he would have crippled her or worse. Apparently, everyone forgot that she was a woman. 🤦

    1:36 - Kerry Von Erich's passing was absolutely mentioned by the WWF in 1993. A year-end edition of WWF magazine had a series of "awards" for various WWF personalities. One of them was the "Gone but not forgotten" award, which was given to both Andre the Giant and the Texas Tornado "who both passed away in 1993." Notable here was that Dino Bravo was not mentioned. In contrast, Andre the Giant's passing was mentioned multiple times, including the first ever 10 bell salute on RAW, and was the inaugural/first inductee in the WWF Hall of Fame was it was launched in the spring of 1993.

Now he made a brief appearance in 2003 under the ring name Jamal as part of the 3 Minute Warning group. Then 3 years later he debuted under the ring name "Umaga". He fought many other wrestlers which included CM Punk in 2009. He was released in that same year after failing a wellness policy test that WWE implemented.

      Yep, just looking for this comment. It also showed Mr Perfect throwing, chasing down and catching a football as part of the tribute. I think the tribute video was well done and remembered them well. However, the fact that WWE doesn't pay the respect that the athletes (who make their business successful) immediately after they pass away, is a tasteless joke. I thought after the night Owen Hart died, they would learn their mistake in terms of 'the show must go on' and instead remember the wrestler who died properly. And it doesn't matter if that person was a jobber or a champion, they keep the Business alive just as much as the fans who pay to see them.
      I get people want entertainment, it's what they've paid to see, but like Bubba Ray Dudley said during the 10 bell Rick Rude tribute on ECW to a heckling fan - 'This Is Real F***ing Life'!

      Six sons from that family, five of them died quite young:
      * Jack Adkisson, Jr.: Died in a very freak accident at the age of six that involved an electric shock and falling face first into a puddle of melting snow. (Adkisson was the actual family name, and he was named after his father, who would become known as “Fritz Von Erich” in his wrestling career.)
      * David Von Erich: Died in 1984 under mysterious circumstances during a tour of Japan. The official cause of death was given as “enteritis” (inflammation of the small intestine), but many suspect he may have died of a drug overdose. He was just 25.
      * Mike Von Erich: Died in 1987 from suicide via overdose at the age of 23.
      * Chris Von Erich: Died by suicide in 1991 at the age of 21.
      * Kerry Von Erich: Mentioned in this video, died by suicide in 1993 at the age of 33.
      The birth order, by the way, is as follows: Jack, Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris.
