Because I lived through it.

Yep, yours truly, Pryce Robertson.

The smallest and youngest of wrestling's Von Erich family, Chris Von Erich, had an immense passion for the business, though his life was tragically cut short.

He was born Christopher Barton Adkisson in Fort Worth, Texas on September 30th, 1969.

His father was the wrestler and wrestling promoter Fritz Von Erich.

During another match, Chris, who was at ringside, was attacked by Pringle and Matt Borne, ramming his head into the ring apron, causing him to have a headache that lasted for five days.

His last known match was in Davis, Oklahoma in March 1991.

Chris Von Erich had several health problems which limited his success as a wrestler.

In addition to asthma, his bones were so brittled from taking prednisone that they would often break while he was performing simple wrestling maneuvers.

All right.

Um, and then sadly, Chris Von Erich, I think he was the fourth, uh, Von Erich to die of, uh-

Um, but yeah, we, we thank Chris Von Erich and all the Von Erichs for their contributions to this great sport of professional wrestling.

Chris Von Erich.

He actually started traveling with his own bus.

Because he couldn't stand his band? Right.

He drove bus.
