• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (September 12, 1991) – Old School Wrestling Veteran Passed Away

On this day in 1991, we lost Old School Wrestling Veteran Chris Von Erich (Real name: Chris Adkisson) when he committed suicide at the very young age of 21.

He was the youngest and smallest son of Fritz Von Erich, but also wanted to become a Professional Wrestler like his brothers Kerry, Kevin, David & Mike.

In 2009, he was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by long-time friend of the family, Michael “P.S.” Hayes.

† REST IN PEACE CHRIS VON ERICH

This could possibly be related to AEW, as Dynamite airs every Wednesday night. Brisco could serve as an on screen personality like a manager or a backstage employee in the company.
