1
00:01:32,026 --> 00:01:34,762
It's over, Rick,
they're gonna disqualify you.
2
00:01:35,863 --> 00:01:40,635
One, two, three. Come on.
3
00:01:40,735 --> 00:01:42,837
Get him out of the corner.
4
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,324
Do you wanna quit?
5
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:08,563
I'll break it!
I'll snap his neck!
6
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:29,984
One, two, three.
7
00:02:30,084 --> 00:02:32,486
Ring the bell!
It's over. It's over.
8
00:02:32,587 --> 00:02:35,489
Let's go.
9
00:02:53,675 --> 00:02:57,512
Hey, now.
Hey, Kevin. Hey, David.
10
00:02:57,612 --> 00:02:59,847
-You crushed that guy, Pop.
-I sure did.
11
00:02:59,947 --> 00:03:01,883
Oh! The Iron Claw.
12
00:03:01,983 --> 00:03:03,818
Kevin's got me
in the Iron Claw.
13
00:03:03,918 --> 00:03:05,687
You're getting strong.
14
00:03:05,787 --> 00:03:07,789
Nice to have you guys here
for once.
15
00:03:07,889 --> 00:03:09,356
Hi.
16
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:11,458
-Did you see anything, Dottie?
-Not a chance!
17
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:14,095
But it sure sounded like
everyone was angry at you.
18
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,630
That's the idea.
19
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:26,708
What is that thing
attached to our home?
20
00:03:26,808 --> 00:03:28,375
You guys like it?
21
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:30,912
Oh, Dad.
It's incredible.
22
00:03:31,012 --> 00:03:32,412
Yeah, it's incredible.
23
00:03:32,513 --> 00:03:36,050
Jack,
where is our car?
24
00:03:36,150 --> 00:03:38,986
I had the boys swap it out
during the show.
25
00:03:39,087 --> 00:03:40,420
Surprise!
26
00:03:40,521 --> 00:03:44,257
Wait.
What are you thinking?
We can't afford this.
27
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:46,326
Well, hear me out.
28
00:03:46,426 --> 00:03:48,495
I was talking
to the promoter,
29
00:03:48,596 --> 00:03:51,398
and he said
if I wanna be a star,
I need to act like a star.
30
00:03:51,498 --> 00:03:53,333
So, he told me to rent
a Cadillac.
31
00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:56,403
I'm not even gonna ask
how much it costs.
32
00:04:02,076 --> 00:04:03,177
How much does it cost?
33
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:08,683
It's gonna be fine, Dottie.
I'm almost there.
34
00:04:08,783 --> 00:04:12,687
We need a real house.
A safe place
to raise these guys.
35
00:04:12,787 --> 00:04:16,490
How does blowing
a bunch of money on a fancy car
get us a house?
36
00:04:16,591 --> 00:04:18,025
The only way to beat
this thing--
37
00:04:18,126 --> 00:04:19,227
There's no thing.
38
00:04:19,326 --> 00:04:21,461
The only way to beat it
is to be the toughest,
39
00:04:21,562 --> 00:04:23,396
the strongest,
the most successful,
40
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:25,032
the absolute best.
41
00:04:25,133 --> 00:04:27,702
To rely on no one
but ourselves.
42
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:29,904
I will get us there.
43
00:04:30,004 --> 00:04:34,374
I will be the NWA
World Heavyweight Champion
44
00:04:34,474 --> 00:04:36,811
and nothing will hurt us
ever again.
45
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:40,515
Let the morning bring me
word of your unfailing love,
46
00:04:40,615 --> 00:04:41,949
for I have
put my trust in you.
47
00:04:42,049 --> 00:04:46,053
Show me the way I should go,
for in you, I entrust my life.
48
00:04:47,755 --> 00:04:49,991
We've been
through hell,
49
00:04:50,091 --> 00:04:53,995
and we're gonna leave
all that behind.
I promise.
50
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:48,448
-What?
-Let's go for a run.
51
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:51,552
-Go for a run?
-Yeah.
52
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:57,457
-Come on. Let's go!
No, no.
I'm not doing that.
53
00:05:57,558 --> 00:05:58,759
All right.
54
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,523
Ever since
I was a child, people said
my family was cursed.
55
00:06:31,359 --> 00:06:33,160
We never talked about it.
56
00:06:33,261 --> 00:06:36,463
And I don't know if
my brothers and I believed it
back then,
57
00:06:36,564 --> 00:06:38,633
but bad things kept happening.
58
00:06:40,501 --> 00:06:43,271
Mom tried to protect us
with God.
59
00:06:43,371 --> 00:06:46,473
Pop tried to protect us
with wrestling.
60
00:06:46,574 --> 00:06:51,913
He said if we were
the toughest, the strongest,
the most successful...
61
00:06:53,848 --> 00:06:55,182
...nothing could ever hurt us.
62
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,986
I believed him. We all did.
63
00:07:00,288 --> 00:07:01,589
We loved our father.
64
00:07:03,324 --> 00:07:04,859
And we loved wrestling.
65
00:07:10,031 --> 00:07:14,201
One, two, three, four!
66
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:27,615
One, two...
67
00:07:27,715 --> 00:07:29,583
That's an eye gouge!
68
00:07:49,503 --> 00:07:50,905
That's a trip.
69
00:08:01,082 --> 00:08:02,850
And stay out,
you son of a bitch!
70
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,785
Or I'll come out of retirement.
71
00:08:37,451 --> 00:08:40,521
One, two, three!
72
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:48,062
Yeah!
73
00:08:48,162 --> 00:08:50,197
Ladies and gentlemen,
74
00:08:50,297 --> 00:08:55,036
the winner and the new
Texas Heavyweight Champion,
75
00:08:55,136 --> 00:08:58,072
Kevin Von Erich.
76
00:08:58,172 --> 00:09:01,042
-Congratulations, son.
You did well.
Thanks, Pop.
77
00:09:01,142 --> 00:09:04,513
This is just the start.
Tomorrow you're back
working harder than ever!
78
00:09:04,612 --> 00:09:06,881
-Proud of you!
-Yes, sir!
79
00:09:18,259 --> 00:09:19,026
Morning.
80
00:09:19,126 --> 00:09:20,828
-Morning.
-Morning, son.
81
00:09:21,562 --> 00:09:23,831
Pants tomorrow please, David.
82
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:25,399
Sorry, Ma.
I couldn't find them.
83
00:09:25,499 --> 00:09:27,134
They are in the wash.
Heard of it?
84
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,470
Michael, breathe.
85
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:31,439
Eat like you're starving mutt.
86
00:09:31,540 --> 00:09:32,673
Good morning.
87
00:09:32,773 --> 00:09:35,743
That's why I eat quickly.
They take my food, Ma.
88
00:09:37,344 --> 00:09:38,646
No!
89
00:09:40,014 --> 00:09:42,616
Mike, you need to start
hitting the weights more, kid.
90
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:44,718
You're growing well,
but you need to bulk up,
91
00:09:44,819 --> 00:09:46,620
get some strength
in those arms.
92
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,289
I'll always have
your back, Michael.
93
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:50,391
You won't always be
around.
94
00:09:50,491 --> 00:09:51,792
Mike's fine, Pop.
95
00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:54,862
Kid won't be able
to defend himself.
96
00:09:54,962 --> 00:10:01,335
Well, may not be the strongest,
but I still can eat the most.
97
00:10:02,403 --> 00:10:04,038
It's not a joke.
98
00:10:04,138 --> 00:10:06,907
Kerry is about to become
the family's first Olympian.
99
00:10:07,007 --> 00:10:09,076
Kevin is the NWA Texas Champion.
100
00:10:09,176 --> 00:10:11,612
-David is about to make
his ring debut.
-Pop, come on.
101
00:10:11,712 --> 00:10:15,749
It's time for you
to start thinking about
what you're gonna be.
102
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:19,687
Now we all know
Kerry's my favorite, then Kev,
then David then Mike,
103
00:10:19,787 --> 00:10:22,723
but the rankings
can always change.
104
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:25,025
Everyone can work
their way up or down.
105
00:10:36,605 --> 00:10:37,838
Good.
106
00:10:39,541 --> 00:10:42,343
Hold it up a little higher.
107
00:10:43,344 --> 00:10:45,312
That's it. Now push forward.
108
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:47,047
Goddamn it, Mike!
109
00:10:48,349 --> 00:10:50,384
Come on!
110
00:10:53,555 --> 00:10:56,123
Come on, David,
I gotta take a dump.
111
00:10:58,192 --> 00:11:03,330
-Hurry up in there, man.
-Mike, shut up!
Give me a second.
112
00:11:10,971 --> 00:11:11,939
David.
113
00:11:13,474 --> 00:11:15,376
Come in.
114
00:11:17,311 --> 00:11:18,979
-Hi, Mom.
-Hey, Kevin.
115
00:11:20,314 --> 00:11:22,617
Hey, I've been thinking.
Can I talk to you
about something?
116
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:24,418
Baby, that's what
your brothers are for.
117
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,854
I know, but--
118
00:11:26,954 --> 00:11:28,956
I don't want to be late.
119
00:11:32,561 --> 00:11:34,862
Dad's too tough on Mike,
Ma.
120
00:11:34,962 --> 00:11:36,797
You gotta say something.
121
00:11:40,134 --> 00:11:42,703
-Please?
-Kevin, that's between them.
122
00:11:43,237 --> 00:11:45,206
Now go, get ready.
123
00:11:45,306 --> 00:11:46,774
We leave in 15 minutes.
124
00:11:47,775 --> 00:11:50,311
All right.
125
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:56,350
-Hey, how are you?
-How you been?
126
00:11:56,450 --> 00:11:57,619
Nice to see you.
127
00:11:57,718 --> 00:11:59,053
Hi.
128
00:11:59,153 --> 00:11:59,887
Come on in.
129
00:11:59,987 --> 00:12:01,656
-How are you?
-Good.
130
00:12:01,755 --> 00:12:02,756
Hi, how you doing?
131
00:12:02,856 --> 00:12:03,924
-Hey, how you doing?
-Hey.
132
00:12:04,024 --> 00:12:06,060
Howdy. How you doing?
All right, good.
133
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,328
-This is your biggest fan.
-Thank you.
134
00:12:07,428 --> 00:12:09,196
Yeah.
It's nice to see you again.
135
00:12:09,296 --> 00:12:11,065
Likewise. Likewise.
136
00:12:12,433 --> 00:12:14,368
Thank you so much.
137
00:12:14,468 --> 00:12:16,203
Thanks for coming out,
yeah.
138
00:12:16,303 --> 00:12:17,672
How are you?
139
00:12:17,771 --> 00:12:18,872
Good to see you again.
See this guy?
140
00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:21,135
Yeah, that was good.
That was... That was good.
141
00:13:21,235 --> 00:13:24,038
All right, bye.
See you later.
142
00:13:24,138 --> 00:13:26,307
How was
orchestra practice, Michael?
143
00:13:26,407 --> 00:13:28,543
It was great. Thanks, Ma.
144
00:13:28,643 --> 00:13:31,646
I'm starving. Uh...
Can we get burgers
on the way?
145
00:13:31,746 --> 00:13:33,280
We got food
in the cooler.
146
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:35,617
I miss Kerry.
147
00:13:35,717 --> 00:13:36,850
He would get burgers for me
right now.
148
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:38,620
I'll eat a burger with you,
little brother.
149
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,821
-Come on.
-Come on, Kev.
150
00:13:40,921 --> 00:13:42,056
All right.
151
00:14:19,226 --> 00:14:21,061
Hi, Kevin!
152
00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:22,863
Welcome back,
ladies and gentlemen.
153
00:14:22,963 --> 00:14:26,166
We have the newly-crowned
Texas Heavyweight Champion,
Kevin Von Erich here,
154
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:29,002
and he is scheduled
to fight in a tag-team match
later on tonight
155
00:14:29,103 --> 00:14:31,939
against Gino Hernandez
and Bruiser Brody.
156
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,375
But his partner
is still a mystery.
157
00:14:35,476 --> 00:14:36,910
That's right, Bill.
158
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:39,446
First off, I just wanna say
to Gino,
159
00:14:39,547 --> 00:14:42,784
you've been running
that mouth of yours
way, way too long,
160
00:14:42,883 --> 00:14:44,686
and I'm here
to take care of it.
161
00:14:44,786 --> 00:14:48,889
Boy, oh, boy.
Do I have somethin' special for you tonight, buddy.
162
00:14:50,391 --> 00:14:51,892
-Can we just do that again
from that top, yeah?
Yeah, absolutely.
163
00:14:51,992 --> 00:14:53,494
-Thank you.
Take it
from the top, okay?
164
00:14:53,595 --> 00:14:54,395
Okay.
165
00:14:56,831 --> 00:14:57,799
-Ready?
-Yeah.
166
00:14:57,898 --> 00:14:59,233
Ready.
167
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:00,934
Welcome back,
ladies and gentlemen.
168
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:03,671
We have the newly-crowned
Texas Heavyweight Champion,
169
00:15:03,772 --> 00:15:05,005
Kevin Von Erich here tonight,
170
00:15:05,105 --> 00:15:07,374
and he's scheduled to fight
in a tag-team match
171
00:15:07,474 --> 00:15:09,844
against Gino Hernandez
and Bruiser Brody.
172
00:15:09,943 --> 00:15:11,945
But his partner
is still a mystery.
173
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:13,147
That's right, Bill.
174
00:15:13,247 --> 00:15:15,650
First off,
I just wanna say that, Gino,
175
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:20,921
you've been shooting
your mouth off way, way too long
about me and my family.
176
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:24,358
I got something special
for you, boy, oh, boy.
177
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:27,529
It ain't gonna be
all roses... Fuck.
178
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:29,764
It's okay.
We'll go again.
179
00:15:29,864 --> 00:15:32,667
-David, I hear you. Stop.
-I didn't say anything.
180
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,402
Welcome back,
ladies and gentlemen.
181
00:15:35,503 --> 00:15:37,938
We have the newly-crowned
Texas Heavyweight Champion,
182
00:15:38,038 --> 00:15:39,507
Kevin Von Erich here
183
00:15:39,607 --> 00:15:42,142
and he is scheduled to fight
in a tag-team match
later on tonight
184
00:15:42,242 --> 00:15:44,913
against Gino Hernandez
and Bruiser Brody.
185
00:15:45,012 --> 00:15:48,115
But his partner
still remains a mystery.
186
00:15:48,917 --> 00:15:51,051
That's right, Bill.
187
00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:55,723
I got something special for...
that the hometown crowd fans
are really gonna love...
188
00:15:56,591 --> 00:15:57,491
tonight.
189
00:15:57,592 --> 00:16:00,728
You know, first off,
I just wanna say, Gino,
190
00:16:00,829 --> 00:16:03,163
you've been
shooting your mouth...
shooting your...
191
00:16:03,263 --> 00:16:04,833
shoot...
shooting your mouth...
192
00:16:04,933 --> 00:16:06,901
-Shoobadoobadoo.
-Shit, sorry.
193
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,269
David.
194
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:11,773
If it's so easy, you get up
here and do it then.
195
00:16:11,873 --> 00:16:12,973
Yeah, I mean
I... I'd love to,
196
00:16:13,073 --> 00:16:14,642
but it'll kind of ruin
the surprise, you know?
197
00:16:14,742 --> 00:16:15,810
Yeah, I know.
198
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:17,645
-You're not helping.
-All right.
199
00:16:17,745 --> 00:16:18,947
Just get out of here.
200
00:16:19,046 --> 00:16:21,783
-Wanna try again?
-Yeah, yes. Okay.
201
00:17:13,701 --> 00:17:16,470
I'll give you a big boot,
so I want you to really sell it.
202
00:17:16,571 --> 00:17:18,907
I tag Gino in,
fight him back.
203
00:17:19,007 --> 00:17:21,275
Give him a body slam,
an elbow drop.
204
00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:23,745
He's gonna drive you
to the corner, stay there
205
00:17:23,845 --> 00:17:25,513
'cause I'm gonna be
coming in and take the post.
206
00:17:25,613 --> 00:17:27,749
And I'm a go straight up top,
so don't leave me there
too long.
207
00:17:27,849 --> 00:17:28,917
-Hmm.
-Okay. Cross body.
208
00:17:29,017 --> 00:17:30,183
I'll still be sellin'
I'll heat up.
209
00:17:30,284 --> 00:17:31,451
-And then double dropkick?
-Yeah.
210
00:17:31,553 --> 00:17:32,887
-Then the Claw?
-Right, yeah.
211
00:17:32,987 --> 00:17:34,022
You been working on that
with your dad?
212
00:17:34,121 --> 00:17:35,489
A little, yeah.
213
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:36,658
All right, just don't fuck
with my hair too much,
okay?
214
00:17:37,992 --> 00:17:40,028
All right, David.
Welcome to the show.
215
00:17:57,477 --> 00:17:59,346
One, two...
216
00:17:59,446 --> 00:18:01,683
And a kick out
from Gino...
217
00:18:01,783 --> 00:18:03,417
Let's go, David.
218
00:18:03,518 --> 00:18:06,486
David picks up Gino,
but he pushes him
in the corner.
219
00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:09,624
And here comes Brody
charging across the ring.
220
00:18:09,724 --> 00:18:13,193
He misses him. He misses him.
And comes all the way back
over to the side.
221
00:18:13,293 --> 00:18:15,162
Kevin getting up
on the top rope.
222
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:16,931
Brody dazed now.
223
00:18:18,365 --> 00:18:22,537
And a huge
flying cross body
knocks down Brody.
224
00:18:24,137 --> 00:18:26,440
The brothers line up
a double drop kick.
225
00:18:26,541 --> 00:18:30,477
An incredible double drop kick.
Blowing the roof off
of this place!
226
00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:33,447
Can you hear
these people?
227
00:18:36,216 --> 00:18:38,953
And here comes
the Iron Claw,
228
00:18:39,053 --> 00:18:41,990
his father's notorious
signature move.
229
00:18:42,724 --> 00:18:47,227
Oh, and he slaps it on Gino.
Look at him.
230
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:52,667
The pain is too much.
Gino taps out,
and the Von Erichs win.
231
00:18:52,767 --> 00:18:56,804
Look out, NWA.
David and Kevin Von Erich
are here!
232
00:18:56,904 --> 00:19:00,742
David and Kevin Von Erich!
233
00:19:00,842 --> 00:19:02,844
-No problem.
Excuse me.
Can you make it out to Emily?
234
00:19:02,944 --> 00:19:05,113
-Emily. That's for you.
-Thank you, thank you.
235
00:19:05,212 --> 00:19:07,381
Thank you.
Thanks for coming, guys.
236
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:08,850
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you so much.
237
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:10,918
Yeah, thanks for coming.
Come next week, all right?
238
00:19:11,019 --> 00:19:12,120
I'm gonna go.
239
00:19:12,219 --> 00:19:13,621
-Okay, bye.
-Bye, bye.
240
00:19:13,721 --> 00:19:15,690
All right.
241
00:19:15,790 --> 00:19:16,557
Hi, Kevin.
242
00:19:16,658 --> 00:19:20,061
Hey, um...
Can I get your autograph?
243
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,729
-Yeah, sure.
-Thanks.
244
00:19:23,998 --> 00:19:26,466
Oh, don't you wanna ask me
who to make it out to?
245
00:19:27,267 --> 00:19:28,770
Oh, yeah. Sure.
246
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:30,905
It's Pam.
247
00:19:31,005 --> 00:19:32,573
-Pam.
-Mmm-hmm.
248
00:19:35,977 --> 00:19:38,646
You're supposed to say,
"Nice to meet you, Pam."
249
00:19:39,981 --> 00:19:42,182
Yeah, I'm sorry.
250
00:19:42,282 --> 00:19:43,551
Uh, it is nice to meet you,
Pam.
251
00:19:43,651 --> 00:19:46,219
It's nice
to meet you too, Kevin.
252
00:19:47,155 --> 00:19:49,557
Did you, uh,
want my brother to sign?
253
00:19:49,657 --> 00:19:51,491
No, just you.
254
00:19:53,861 --> 00:19:55,530
Okay, then.
255
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:02,202
Your folks not teach you
how to ask questions?
256
00:20:04,072 --> 00:20:05,305
Like what?
257
00:20:06,107 --> 00:20:07,742
Well, like, you know,
258
00:20:07,842 --> 00:20:12,880
"Who shall I make this out to?"
Or, um, or...
259
00:20:14,148 --> 00:20:16,349
"Would you like to have a drink
with me sometime, Pam?"
260
00:20:17,451 --> 00:20:19,386
Are you asking me out?
261
00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:22,056
Make me feel a little worse
while you're at it.
262
00:20:22,156 --> 00:20:25,059
No, no, no.
Sorry, no, I, uh...
263
00:20:25,693 --> 00:20:28,129
I would love
to go out with you, Pam.
264
00:20:29,797 --> 00:20:31,799
Wasn't that... Yeah, I just...
I've just never been
asked before.
265
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,168
Oh.
266
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:35,837
Well, hopefully,
it will go well
267
00:20:35,937 --> 00:20:38,840
and then no one else
will have the chance
to ask you again.
268
00:20:42,577 --> 00:20:43,678
Yeah.
269
00:20:45,713 --> 00:20:46,714
Morning.
270
00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:49,984
Morning.
271
00:20:52,086 --> 00:20:53,154
David's good.
272
00:20:53,286 --> 00:20:54,989
David's good.
273
00:20:57,290 --> 00:20:59,594
Got the Saturday ratings back.
274
00:21:00,027 --> 00:21:01,461
Highest numbers ever.
275
00:21:02,864 --> 00:21:05,867
And somebody called me
from over at ESPN.
276
00:21:05,967 --> 00:21:09,670
They wanna offer us
a national slot
for Saturday nights.
277
00:21:11,873 --> 00:21:14,041
That's great news.
278
00:21:14,142 --> 00:21:15,510
Break it down for me.
279
00:21:15,610 --> 00:21:18,112
Well, it's good
financial base.
280
00:21:18,212 --> 00:21:20,148
Uh, we'll have ad revenue.
281
00:21:20,248 --> 00:21:22,449
Bigger and bigger names
coming through.
282
00:21:22,550 --> 00:21:28,623
But if we perform and we have
a World Heavyweight Champion
in our roster,
283
00:21:28,723 --> 00:21:31,592
we could be
the biggest promotion
in wrestling.
284
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,229
Oh, we'll have
a World Heavyweight Champion.
285
00:21:35,328 --> 00:21:37,999
I can promise you that.
286
00:21:38,099 --> 00:21:40,201
-Let's move forward.
-Okay.
287
00:21:41,368 --> 00:21:42,904
-There you go.
-Thanks.
288
00:21:43,004 --> 00:21:44,605
Yeah, have a good one.
289
00:21:44,705 --> 00:21:47,041
Are you this famous
everywhere?
290
00:21:47,141 --> 00:21:48,810
No, not everywhere.
291
00:21:48,910 --> 00:21:50,945
-They're not such big fans
up in Missouri.
-Oh.
292
00:21:51,045 --> 00:21:52,379
That's for sure.
293
00:21:52,947 --> 00:21:53,781
You travel a lot?
294
00:21:53,881 --> 00:21:57,317
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
We go out on the road.
295
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:59,153
But we don't have to
as much anymore,
296
00:21:59,253 --> 00:22:01,055
because our show
is doing so well.
297
00:22:03,991 --> 00:22:08,495
So, what do you want in life,
Kevin Von Erich?
298
00:22:09,730 --> 00:22:12,667
More ribs.
299
00:22:14,268 --> 00:22:16,270
I wanna be
World Heavyweight Champion.
300
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:17,404
Hmm.
301
00:22:17,505 --> 00:22:18,673
Well, can you just explain
that to me
302
00:22:18,773 --> 00:22:21,374
'cause ain't it all just fake?
303
00:22:21,976 --> 00:22:22,944
Fake?
304
00:22:23,845 --> 00:22:25,546
There's nothing fake
about what we do.
305
00:22:25,646 --> 00:22:29,984
Okay. All right. All right.
Not fake.
306
00:22:30,084 --> 00:22:34,555
Um... prearranged?
Written?
307
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:38,793
Look, you move up
in any industry
308
00:22:38,893 --> 00:22:40,127
based on your performances,
right?
309
00:22:40,228 --> 00:22:41,696
Mmm-hmm.
310
00:22:41,796 --> 00:22:47,467
So a belt, like my Texas title,
is really just a job promotion.
311
00:22:47,568 --> 00:22:50,705
The promoters keep you
moving up if you do well.
312
00:22:50,805 --> 00:22:55,743
And if you reach the top,
you become World Champ
as a reward,
313
00:22:55,843 --> 00:22:59,881
because you're the best
based on your ability
314
00:22:59,981 --> 00:23:02,683
and on how the crowd
responds to you.
315
00:23:04,252 --> 00:23:05,720
Is that all you want?
316
00:23:07,021 --> 00:23:09,156
No. Of course not.
317
00:23:09,257 --> 00:23:10,925
I wanna be with my family.
318
00:23:11,859 --> 00:23:13,094
You know,
be with my brothers.
319
00:23:13,194 --> 00:23:15,997
Mmm, that's sweet.
320
00:23:16,097 --> 00:23:18,132
What do you like to do
with your brothers?
321
00:23:19,533 --> 00:23:22,904
Anything. I don't know.
322
00:23:23,638 --> 00:23:26,607
Just being together,
we can do anything.
323
00:23:26,707 --> 00:23:28,843
Hmm.
324
00:23:29,610 --> 00:23:31,145
What about you?
325
00:23:31,245 --> 00:23:32,780
Well, I wanna be a vet.
326
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,383
I want kids.
I want my own practice.
327
00:23:35,482 --> 00:23:37,718
I want a man
who's okay with that.
328
00:23:39,053 --> 00:23:40,453
Cool.
329
00:23:40,554 --> 00:23:42,290
So, would you be okay with
that?
330
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:44,592
Oh, damn right, I would.
331
00:23:44,692 --> 00:23:47,194
We could be one of those
modern super couples.
332
00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:49,897
We can have our own ranch.
333
00:23:49,997 --> 00:23:52,333
Everyone could come
live with us.
All my brothers, their families.
334
00:23:52,432 --> 00:23:53,868
Okay.
335
00:23:54,902 --> 00:23:59,140
You know, you have
oldest brother syndrome.
336
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,977
-Yeah, you wanna take care
of everyone.
-Maybe.
337
00:24:03,077 --> 00:24:05,513
I'm not the oldest though.
338
00:24:05,613 --> 00:24:09,216
When I was five,
my big brother,
Jack Jr., he died.
339
00:24:11,352 --> 00:24:15,289
Oh. Oh, my God.
Kevin, I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
340
00:24:15,389 --> 00:24:18,092
Oh, it's all right.
I don't really
think about it.
341
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,460
Not anymore.
342
00:24:21,595 --> 00:24:23,197
What was that like?
343
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:27,234
I don't know. It was strange.
344
00:24:28,102 --> 00:24:30,171
As a kid, he just, uh...
345
00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:34,141
He just wasn't there
to play with one day.
346
00:24:35,376 --> 00:24:37,211
So, I'm not the oldest.
347
00:24:37,311 --> 00:24:41,615
I must have the, uh...
the second oldest brother
syndrome.
348
00:25:02,436 --> 00:25:03,904
I'm so sorry.
349
00:25:15,182 --> 00:25:18,252
It's a part
of the family curse, I guess.
350
00:25:18,352 --> 00:25:19,720
What's that?
351
00:25:20,488 --> 00:25:22,957
Oh, I'm just joking.
352
00:25:23,057 --> 00:25:25,226
What, you never heard
of the curse of the Von Erichs?
353
00:25:25,326 --> 00:25:26,527
No.
354
00:25:26,627 --> 00:25:28,662
-Really?
-No.
355
00:25:28,763 --> 00:25:32,733
Oh, it's uh...
it's a silly story.
356
00:25:32,833 --> 00:25:33,734
Hmm?
357
00:25:33,834 --> 00:25:36,704
My dad changed his last
name to Von Erich,
358
00:25:36,804 --> 00:25:39,440
which was my grandma's
last name.
359
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:43,677
And I don't know,
I guess her family
had all sorts of tragedy.
360
00:25:44,311 --> 00:25:45,846
So, when my brother died,
361
00:25:45,946 --> 00:25:49,650
people started saying that
it was this curse.
362
00:25:50,718 --> 00:25:52,753
But I don't believe
in any of that.
363
00:25:53,354 --> 00:25:55,956
I know it was all
just bad luck.
364
00:25:56,057 --> 00:26:02,263
Well, I don't believe in curses,
and I don't believe in luck.
365
00:26:02,363 --> 00:26:04,732
I think we make
our own luck.
366
00:26:06,834 --> 00:26:08,169
You're lucky then.
367
00:26:22,483 --> 00:26:25,052
-Kev.
-Hey, Pop.
368
00:26:25,152 --> 00:26:29,090
Get in here.
Come in, son. Sit down.
369
00:26:32,059 --> 00:26:34,595
Big news for you.
370
00:26:34,695 --> 00:26:38,165
I booked Harley Race
to come to the Sportatorium.
371
00:26:38,265 --> 00:26:41,869
You are gonna fight
the World Heavyweight Champion.
372
00:26:42,504 --> 00:26:44,205
No way.
373
00:26:44,305 --> 00:26:45,940
You kidding me, Pop?
374
00:26:46,674 --> 00:26:48,776
Your first match will be
a non-title fight,
375
00:26:48,876 --> 00:26:53,548
but if you put a whooping on him
and show the world who you are
and what you can do,
376
00:26:53,647 --> 00:26:55,382
you will become
the number one contender
377
00:26:55,483 --> 00:26:59,753
for the World
Heavyweight Championship
and get your title shot.
378
00:27:00,555 --> 00:27:02,089
Pop, thank you.
379
00:27:02,890 --> 00:27:05,826
Thank you.
I... I will make you so
proud.
380
00:27:05,926 --> 00:27:09,296
I've dreamed of having that belt
in this house my whole career
381
00:27:10,364 --> 00:27:14,201
but the NWA never gave me
the chance I deserved.
382
00:27:14,301 --> 00:27:18,906
I got close many times,
but they always robbed me
at the last minute.
383
00:27:19,006 --> 00:27:21,775
So you have to take
this opportunity.
384
00:27:21,876 --> 00:27:24,378
You can be the one
to bring it home for us.
385
00:27:26,647 --> 00:27:28,883
Yes, sir.
386
00:27:28,983 --> 00:27:32,853
I am the four-time
World Heavyweight Champion.
387
00:27:32,953 --> 00:27:39,126
Me, Harley Race,
the real
World Heavyweight Champion.
388
00:27:39,226 --> 00:27:45,766
Not any of this plastic nonsense
that you all parade around with
out there.
389
00:27:45,866 --> 00:27:49,069
You have all these guys
walking around
390
00:27:49,170 --> 00:27:53,941
talking loud about
how they are the man.
391
00:27:54,041 --> 00:27:59,813
Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes,
Tommy Rich,
392
00:28:00,781 --> 00:28:03,951
or one of your snot-nosed
Von Erich kids.
393
00:28:05,286 --> 00:28:07,721
Well,
394
00:28:07,821 --> 00:28:13,027
this belt is the only measure
of who is the man.
395
00:28:13,662 --> 00:28:16,397
And that man is me.
396
00:28:16,497 --> 00:28:22,604
The World's
Heavyweight Champion,
Harley Race.
397
00:28:52,032 --> 00:28:53,635
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,
398
00:28:53,734 --> 00:28:55,970
and welcome
to an exciting night
399
00:28:56,070 --> 00:28:59,006
of World Class
Championship Wrestling
on ESPN.
400
00:28:59,106 --> 00:29:02,876
Tonight we have
a momentous main event,
401
00:29:02,977 --> 00:29:06,213
NWA World Heavyweight Champ
Harley Race is in town
402
00:29:06,313 --> 00:29:10,384
to take on Texas Champion,
Kevin Von Erich.
403
00:29:19,628 --> 00:29:20,729
And here we go, folks.
404
00:29:20,828 --> 00:29:22,363
You can feel the excitement here
405
00:29:22,463 --> 00:29:25,499
at the world famous Sportatorium
in downtown Dallas, Texas.
406
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,268
As that man right there,
407
00:29:27,368 --> 00:29:31,171
local hero Kevin Von Erich
faces his biggest challenge
to date.
408
00:29:31,272 --> 00:29:37,011
Four-time World Champion,
the indomitable Harley Race.
409
00:29:37,111 --> 00:29:40,047
What an occasion this is
for Von Erich family.
410
00:29:40,147 --> 00:29:43,450
The 3,500 fans in the building
and everyone watching at home
411
00:29:43,551 --> 00:29:47,689
as we are broadcasting
in 62 countries
around the world.
412
00:29:47,821 --> 00:29:49,923
All eyes are on this contest.
413
00:29:51,125 --> 00:29:52,960
Now this is a non-title fight.
414
00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:54,928
The belt cannot change hands
here, tonight.
415
00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:57,532
But it is a tremendous
opportunity for Kevin.
416
00:29:57,632 --> 00:30:01,536
If he can win, he would become
the number one contender.
417
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:04,338
And they lock up,
418
00:30:04,438 --> 00:30:07,074
Harley Race overpowering Kevin
into the corner.
419
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:12,246
And he delivers a big blow
to the mid-section,
420
00:30:12,346 --> 00:30:14,048
knocks the wind
right out of him.
421
00:30:14,148 --> 00:30:15,849
Not a great start
for the young man
422
00:30:15,949 --> 00:30:18,720
looking to make an impression
here tonight.
423
00:30:18,819 --> 00:30:23,157
And a devastating shot
to the lower back
puts Kevin on the mat.
424
00:30:23,257 --> 00:30:26,761
He's lining up a big shot
and Kevin blocks it
and returns a punch.
425
00:30:26,860 --> 00:30:28,962
Connects once. Twice.
426
00:30:30,431 --> 00:30:31,332
And three times.
427
00:30:31,432 --> 00:30:34,034
Hits Harley Race again
pretty hard on that one.
428
00:30:35,235 --> 00:30:37,338
Kevin coming off the ropes
with a clothesline.
429
00:30:37,438 --> 00:30:39,106
The champ doesn't budge.
430
00:30:39,206 --> 00:30:41,408
Kevin again off the ropes.
Oh, and he knocks him down.
431
00:30:41,509 --> 00:30:44,111
He knocks down the old oak tree,
Harley Race,
432
00:30:44,211 --> 00:30:46,947
with a spectacular
flying clothesline.
433
00:30:47,047 --> 00:30:49,249
But the champ is right back up.
Shaking it off.
434
00:30:49,350 --> 00:30:51,185
Kevin goes straight
into a bear hug.
435
00:30:51,285 --> 00:30:53,320
Looking for that
belly-to-back suplex.
436
00:30:53,420 --> 00:30:54,589
Hey, break it off.
Break it off!
437
00:30:55,222 --> 00:30:57,024
Oh, and a low blow.
438
00:30:57,124 --> 00:30:58,926
Oh, I don't think
the Ref saw that.
439
00:30:59,026 --> 00:31:00,595
Kevin's struggling now.
440
00:31:00,695 --> 00:31:05,399
A vicious tactic from Race
who looks to get back on top
in this contest.
441
00:31:05,499 --> 00:31:08,435
Let's go for a ride, kid.
442
00:31:08,536 --> 00:31:11,573
Oh, and he...
he tosses Kevin
over the top rope.
443
00:31:11,673 --> 00:31:15,510
My goodness.
Kevin crashes down
on that concrete floor.
444
00:31:17,378 --> 00:31:21,181
Race, absolutely ruthless,
gets Kevin in a suplex.
445
00:31:21,281 --> 00:31:23,585
Oh, no. I hope he doesn't do it.
And he does!
446
00:31:23,685 --> 00:31:26,220
Harley Race puts
a standing suplex
447
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,723
on Kevin Von Erich,
directly onto
the concrete floor.
448
00:31:30,457 --> 00:31:34,161
Kevin is down.
This crowd is stunned.
449
00:31:35,530 --> 00:31:38,365
Kevin is not moving, folks.
Kevin Von Erich is not moving.
450
00:31:38,465 --> 00:31:40,000
Harley Race
gets back up to the ring.
451
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:41,969
Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!
452
00:31:43,337 --> 00:31:44,471
One!
453
00:31:47,474 --> 00:31:48,610
Two!
454
00:31:50,812 --> 00:31:52,146
Three!
455
00:31:53,515 --> 00:31:54,915
Come on. Get up.
456
00:31:55,015 --> 00:31:58,653
Four! Five!
457
00:32:01,422 --> 00:32:02,423
Six!
458
00:32:05,125 --> 00:32:06,927
Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!
459
00:32:07,027 --> 00:32:08,495
Seven!
460
00:32:12,332 --> 00:32:13,167
Eight!
461
00:32:13,267 --> 00:32:15,302
He's starting to step up.
462
00:32:15,402 --> 00:32:16,504
Nine!
463
00:32:16,604 --> 00:32:19,173
He's starting to come up,
slowly but surely.
464
00:32:19,273 --> 00:32:20,974
He crawls up. Kevin Von Erich.
Unbelievable.
465
00:32:21,074 --> 00:32:22,443
What this man has been through.
466
00:32:22,544 --> 00:32:26,781
He's seen it all. He's--
Well, he's self-sacrificed.
467
00:32:26,881 --> 00:32:28,315
He's worked very, very hard,
468
00:32:28,415 --> 00:32:30,819
and here he is,
back in the ring
with Harley Race.
469
00:32:32,554 --> 00:32:36,089
Kick to the ribs.
That has to do some damage.
470
00:32:36,190 --> 00:32:41,195
And this is why Harley Race
is the most dominant champion
of our time.
471
00:32:41,863 --> 00:32:43,765
Kevin's gasping for air
472
00:32:43,865 --> 00:32:46,967
as Race gets him
into yet another suplex.
473
00:32:47,067 --> 00:32:50,070
But Kevin spins out
and a knee right in the jaw,
474
00:32:50,170 --> 00:32:52,841
knocking the champ flat
on his back.
475
00:32:52,941 --> 00:32:54,475
He's back in this match.
476
00:32:54,576 --> 00:32:57,612
And here he comes
off the ropes.
And a big splash.
477
00:32:57,712 --> 00:32:58,947
This could be it.
478
00:32:59,046 --> 00:33:01,448
-One, two...
-One, two!
479
00:33:02,483 --> 00:33:03,618
And Race gouges
Kevin's eyes.
480
00:33:03,718 --> 00:33:06,153
The Ref cautioning,
but he doesn't wanna hear.
481
00:33:06,253 --> 00:33:08,021
Oh, and he throws the Ref out.
482
00:33:08,121 --> 00:33:10,123
And that's it.
Surely, he will be disqualified.
483
00:33:11,458 --> 00:33:12,861
Yes, and there's the bell,
folks.
484
00:33:12,961 --> 00:33:14,061
The boos ring out.
485
00:33:14,161 --> 00:33:16,965
The fans did not want
to see it end like this.
486
00:33:17,064 --> 00:33:21,836
And the winner
by disqualification,
Kevin Von Erich.
487
00:33:21,936 --> 00:33:23,972
Oh, oh,
here comes David Von Erich.
488
00:33:26,941 --> 00:33:29,744
Get out of here!
Get out of here!
489
00:33:30,912 --> 00:33:33,046
I dare you to come back in!
490
00:33:33,146 --> 00:33:35,182
Harley Race, I dare you!
491
00:33:39,687 --> 00:33:42,524
Go on. Get out of here.
You ain't got no place here.
492
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,261
Harley Race.
493
00:33:48,596 --> 00:33:51,599
You coward.
494
00:33:52,466 --> 00:33:56,470
You afraid I was gonna beat you
495
00:33:59,206 --> 00:34:01,543
so...
496
00:34:02,142 --> 00:34:04,478
Harley Race,
497
00:34:04,579 --> 00:34:09,751
tonight we showed you
what we're made of.
498
00:34:09,851 --> 00:34:10,818
All right?
499
00:34:12,319 --> 00:34:16,490
You came into
our building with our fans...
500
00:34:17,625 --> 00:34:19,027
And my brother here
501
00:34:19,126 --> 00:34:22,095
put a good old fashion
Texas whooping on you.
502
00:34:23,497 --> 00:34:26,734
You are the past, my friend.
503
00:34:26,834 --> 00:34:28,268
We are the future of this sport.
504
00:34:28,368 --> 00:34:32,006
So, you keep on running,
but everyone sees you.
505
00:34:32,105 --> 00:34:34,274
Oh, yeah. Everyone sees you.
506
00:34:34,374 --> 00:34:39,146
And we'll catch you
whether you're man enough
to stop back through Dallas
507
00:34:39,246 --> 00:34:41,583
or if we have to chase you
down in Missouri.
508
00:34:41,683 --> 00:34:43,483
My brother here
deserves his rematch
509
00:34:43,585 --> 00:34:47,154
and he will fight you anywhere,
anytime for a fair shot
510
00:34:47,254 --> 00:34:51,059
at that
NWA World Heavyweight title.
511
00:35:02,003 --> 00:35:03,638
You were long getting up.
512
00:35:05,305 --> 00:35:08,710
Yeah. I've just never hit
the floor that hard before.
513
00:35:11,045 --> 00:35:13,113
You gotta take it
and get up.
514
00:35:13,213 --> 00:35:15,182
Yeah, I know.
515
00:35:16,316 --> 00:35:18,452
He wasn't supposed
to throw me out the ring.
516
00:35:19,087 --> 00:35:20,922
Caught me off guard.
517
00:35:21,022 --> 00:35:22,456
There was nothing I could do.
518
00:35:23,423 --> 00:35:26,360
I physically...
I just couldn't move.
519
00:35:27,095 --> 00:35:28,830
This is how they test you.
520
00:35:33,768 --> 00:35:35,970
-Did I do enough
to get my rematch?
-Of course, you did.
521
00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:37,605
We'll see.
522
00:35:37,705 --> 00:35:40,875
Those rat bastards will use
any excuse they can
to screw us over.
523
00:35:42,409 --> 00:35:44,177
But I'll chase 'em.
524
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,314
David.
525
00:35:48,616 --> 00:35:51,686
Great on the mic, son.
Really great.
526
00:35:53,921 --> 00:35:55,355
We'll get you out
on the road,
527
00:35:56,124 --> 00:35:57,592
get you some more
exposure.
528
00:35:58,492 --> 00:35:59,560
Okay.
529
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:08,670
Hey listen.
Dad's downplaying it
530
00:36:08,770 --> 00:36:10,505
'cause he doesn't wanna
get your hopes up.
531
00:36:10,605 --> 00:36:12,073
But you were incredible
out there.
532
00:36:12,172 --> 00:36:14,174
Why didn't you let me
talk?
533
00:36:14,274 --> 00:36:15,576
Well, you didn't.
534
00:36:17,045 --> 00:36:18,780
You should've let me talk.
535
00:36:21,314 --> 00:36:24,251
Yeah, I'm sorry, Kev,
I thought I was helping.
536
00:36:28,321 --> 00:36:29,624
Hey, smile, man.
537
00:36:29,724 --> 00:36:31,559
You just beat
the World Heavyweight Champion
out there.
538
00:36:36,698 --> 00:36:39,100
All right, Kerry,
let's make this a big one.
539
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:40,802
Ready?
540
00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:43,938
You all set?
541
00:37:59,446 --> 00:38:01,215
In my judgement,
542
00:38:01,314 --> 00:38:04,886
what we are doing
is preserving the principles
and the quality of the Olympics,
543
00:38:04,986 --> 00:38:06,587
not destroying it.
544
00:38:06,687 --> 00:38:11,058
It is absolutely imperative
that we and other nations
545
00:38:11,159 --> 00:38:14,394
who believe in freedom
and who believe in human rights,
546
00:38:14,494 --> 00:38:19,466
let our voices be heard
in an absolutely clear way
547
00:38:19,567 --> 00:38:23,336
and not add the imprimatur
of approval
548
00:38:23,436 --> 00:38:26,207
to the Soviet Union
and its government
549
00:38:26,306 --> 00:38:32,345
while they have 105,000
heavily-armed invading forces
in the freedom-loving,
550
00:38:32,445 --> 00:38:35,983
and innocent,
and deeply religious country
of Afghanistan.
551
00:38:37,051 --> 00:38:40,121
And I hope
recognition of a grateful nation
552
00:38:40,221 --> 00:38:42,123
will at least partially make up
553
00:38:42,223 --> 00:38:44,992
for the sacrifice
that you'll have to make
this summer
554
00:38:45,092 --> 00:38:48,896
in not going to Moscow
for the Summer Olympics.
555
00:38:50,264 --> 00:38:55,870
I can't say at this moment
what other nations will not go.
556
00:38:57,972 --> 00:38:59,807
Ours will not go.
557
00:39:34,441 --> 00:39:35,743
Hi!
558
00:39:37,211 --> 00:39:38,946
-Hey.
-Kerry.
559
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,855
Welcome home, Kerry.
560
00:39:53,194 --> 00:39:54,729
I'm sorry
it didn't work out, Pop.
561
00:39:55,363 --> 00:39:57,331
Me too, son.
562
00:39:57,430 --> 00:39:59,767
-Hey.
-Hey, Ma.
563
00:40:03,571 --> 00:40:05,206
-Hey.
-Hey, boys. Hi.
564
00:40:05,306 --> 00:40:06,908
Come here, man.
565
00:40:07,008 --> 00:40:09,010
Oh, Mikey. Look at you.
566
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:10,845
Ready, set!
567
00:40:10,945 --> 00:40:12,046
Hike!
568
00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:21,188
You're the fastest
in the family, Kev.
569
00:40:21,289 --> 00:40:23,423
No one could ever catch you.
570
00:40:23,524 --> 00:40:26,127
You still got it, son.
571
00:40:26,227 --> 00:40:29,597
Gotta put him on his ass
before he breaks past you,
Kerry.
572
00:40:29,697 --> 00:40:32,199
Blue 82. Hut, hike!
573
00:40:35,369 --> 00:40:38,639
-That's how you make
a hit on someone.
574
00:40:38,739 --> 00:40:40,508
-What?
-What? Come on!
575
00:40:42,977 --> 00:40:44,111
Hut hike!
576
00:40:51,451 --> 00:40:55,488
You gotta dive
for them, Mike.
You gotta lay out for that.
577
00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:56,958
Come on, son.
578
00:40:57,058 --> 00:40:58,159
Hike!
579
00:41:02,363 --> 00:41:04,732
Oh, my God, look at that!
580
00:41:04,832 --> 00:41:08,669
That's why you're the best
linebacker in the state, Kerry.
581
00:41:08,769 --> 00:41:10,404
Coach Royal called me from UT.
582
00:41:10,504 --> 00:41:14,709
He said, "Why is the best
linebacker in the state
watching from the stands?"
583
00:41:15,343 --> 00:41:17,144
Good job, son.
584
00:41:17,244 --> 00:41:20,147
-Hey, Pam.
-Hmm?
585
00:41:20,247 --> 00:41:23,084
I can pour you some more...
more lemonade or something.
586
00:41:23,184 --> 00:41:25,219
Sure, thanks, Mike.
587
00:41:25,319 --> 00:41:28,456
You keep a hold on her, son.
She's a good one.
588
00:41:28,589 --> 00:41:31,459
You put that down,
someone else will pick it up.
589
00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:32,560
Yes, sir.
590
00:41:32,660 --> 00:41:35,495
Hey, I, uh...
I saw the new show, Pop.
591
00:41:35,596 --> 00:41:37,164
It's great.
592
00:41:37,264 --> 00:41:39,633
And I was real proud
watching you fight Harley, Kev.
593
00:41:39,734 --> 00:41:41,501
Thanks, Kerry.
594
00:41:41,602 --> 00:41:43,504
Now, when's the rematch?
595
00:41:44,271 --> 00:41:46,307
Uh, not sure yet.
596
00:41:46,407 --> 00:41:47,708
We just haven't got the call.
597
00:41:47,808 --> 00:41:50,077
-Oh.
-I'm working on it.
598
00:41:50,177 --> 00:41:51,846
Hey, Ker, you see
all the new camera angles?
599
00:41:51,946 --> 00:41:54,648
-They're cool, right?
-Yep.
600
00:41:54,749 --> 00:41:57,385
We're talking about wrestling,
not camera angles.
601
00:41:57,485 --> 00:42:00,321
Your brother fought
the World Champion
on national TV.
602
00:42:00,421 --> 00:42:02,156
Who gives a damn about
camera angles?
603
00:42:03,157 --> 00:42:04,759
Hey, how's the music coming,
Mike?
604
00:42:04,859 --> 00:42:08,195
Hmm?
Hey, what do you play?
605
00:42:08,295 --> 00:42:14,635
Lots of things.
Um... viola, violin, piano,
some other instruments.
606
00:42:15,536 --> 00:42:17,304
Musical like his father.
607
00:42:18,472 --> 00:42:20,141
What?
608
00:42:20,241 --> 00:42:21,909
Dad's musical?
609
00:42:22,009 --> 00:42:23,711
When I first met
your father,
610
00:42:23,811 --> 00:42:25,980
he was classically trained
on the clarinet
611
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,749
and had a Music scholarship
to University of Texas.
612
00:42:28,849 --> 00:42:30,117
Wow.
613
00:42:30,217 --> 00:42:32,353
But he gave it up
to play football
at Southern Methodist.
614
00:42:32,453 --> 00:42:33,487
Wow.
615
00:42:33,587 --> 00:42:35,756
Decided there was
no future in music.
616
00:42:35,856 --> 00:42:38,392
I chose sport and I was right.
617
00:42:38,492 --> 00:42:45,032
He used to play
the most beautiful pieces for me
when we first dated.
618
00:42:46,267 --> 00:42:47,234
Aww.
619
00:42:47,334 --> 00:42:49,703
Such a well-rounded man.
620
00:42:49,804 --> 00:42:51,072
Not like anyone I ever met.
621
00:42:52,706 --> 00:42:54,075
Dottie, please.
622
00:42:57,645 --> 00:42:59,346
I've been meaning
to tell everyone, I...
623
00:42:59,447 --> 00:43:00,981
well, I got this...
624
00:43:01,082 --> 00:43:03,684
I got this quartet
that I'm a part of from school
625
00:43:03,784 --> 00:43:08,222
and, um, well, we...
we actually have a gig.
626
00:43:08,322 --> 00:43:11,158
Yeah?
-Michael, that's great.
When?
627
00:43:11,258 --> 00:43:15,796
That's the thing.
It's... well it's tonight
at UT, Dallas.
628
00:43:15,896 --> 00:43:17,031
Oh.
629
00:43:17,131 --> 00:43:20,601
No. You're too young
to set foot
on a university campus
630
00:43:20,701 --> 00:43:22,069
on a Saturday night.
631
00:43:22,169 --> 00:43:25,272
Ma... Kev... Kev went
on national tour at 17.
Excuse me.
632
00:43:25,372 --> 00:43:27,542
That was for work.
633
00:43:27,641 --> 00:43:29,143
Your mom said no
and that's the end of it.
634
00:43:29,243 --> 00:43:31,312
This is work.
We're... We're getting paid.
635
00:43:34,415 --> 00:43:35,616
I mean, we could take him.
636
00:43:35,716 --> 00:43:37,184
Yeah. Yeah, we could.
637
00:43:37,284 --> 00:43:39,353
We could...
He could play the gig,
and we'll leave right after.
638
00:43:40,054 --> 00:43:40,821
Sure.
639
00:43:40,921 --> 00:43:44,191
No. The answer is no.
640
00:43:46,794 --> 00:43:48,329
Shh!
641
00:43:54,435 --> 00:43:55,870
Get down, get down.
642
00:44:07,381 --> 00:44:09,016
Okay, come on.
643
00:44:28,502 --> 00:44:29,970
Watch out.
644
00:44:36,043 --> 00:44:36,877
Oh, yeah.
645
00:44:39,581 --> 00:44:42,249
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
646
00:45:48,382 --> 00:45:49,216
He knows what he's doing.
647
00:45:53,387 --> 00:45:58,526
...five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten!
648
00:46:01,895 --> 00:46:04,298
Yeah! All right!
649
00:46:06,967 --> 00:46:10,538
Look at my beautiful brothers.
650
00:46:13,073 --> 00:46:14,743
He's got an appetite.
651
00:46:14,842 --> 00:46:16,745
Yeah, Kerry can put 'em
back for sure.
652
00:46:16,844 --> 00:46:18,812
That's good.
He's letting off steam.
653
00:46:21,382 --> 00:46:24,385
So, what do you think?
Like we're a lot.
654
00:46:26,721 --> 00:46:29,456
I love your family, Kevin.
655
00:46:30,024 --> 00:46:32,426
-Really?
-Yeah.
656
00:46:33,561 --> 00:46:35,062
You know, you're beautiful.
657
00:46:55,449 --> 00:46:56,917
Yeah, come on.
658
00:47:00,954 --> 00:47:02,423
-Oh, my God.
-I got it.
659
00:47:15,770 --> 00:47:18,506
-This okay?
-Oh, yeah.
660
00:47:19,708 --> 00:47:21,475
Ow.
661
00:47:25,714 --> 00:47:27,848
-Hey, uh...
-Yeah.
662
00:47:27,948 --> 00:47:29,350
Have you ever?
663
00:47:33,788 --> 00:47:37,091
What? Why?
Why, would that be a problem?
664
00:47:37,191 --> 00:47:39,594
What. No. No, no, no.
Not at all, no.
665
00:47:39,694 --> 00:47:41,730
What is it then?
666
00:47:41,830 --> 00:47:46,300
I just, uh... I just...
667
00:47:46,867 --> 00:47:49,002
Honey, never?
668
00:47:49,103 --> 00:47:51,939
Not never, never.
669
00:47:52,774 --> 00:47:55,643
Oh, Kevin, you sweet thing.
670
00:48:01,783 --> 00:48:03,518
Okay.
671
00:48:21,268 --> 00:48:25,507
One, two, three!
672
00:48:25,607 --> 00:48:27,609
He did it! He did it!
673
00:48:27,709 --> 00:48:34,081
Ric Flair has just defeated
the NWA World Heavyweight
Champion, Harley Race.
674
00:48:34,181 --> 00:48:36,684
There you see,
he's up on the screen,
you folks.
675
00:48:36,785 --> 00:48:38,653
Ric Flair, the new--
676
00:49:16,223 --> 00:49:19,026
-Kerry.
-Yes, sir.
677
00:49:20,595 --> 00:49:23,297
I don't know if you've been
thinking about your future,
678
00:49:23,397 --> 00:49:26,066
but you should think
about wrestling.
679
00:49:26,166 --> 00:49:28,368
Now, I wouldn't wish wrestling
on any of you.
680
00:49:28,469 --> 00:49:30,404
I only wrestled
to provide for you all.
681
00:49:30,505 --> 00:49:33,207
And I always hoped you boys
would choose another profession.
682
00:49:33,307 --> 00:49:35,375
But the Olympics has been
taken from you
683
00:49:35,476 --> 00:49:38,145
the way professional football
was taken from me.
684
00:49:38,245 --> 00:49:42,015
The world keeps taking from us,
and I'm sick of it.
685
00:49:42,115 --> 00:49:43,952
I wanna fight back.
686
00:49:44,051 --> 00:49:47,321
And the more of us
in it together, the better.
687
00:49:47,421 --> 00:49:52,025
So, Kerry, I want you to join
your brothers in the ring.
688
00:49:52,125 --> 00:49:54,094
Yes, sir, I'd love that.
689
00:49:54,863 --> 00:49:56,698
Glad to hear it, son.
690
00:49:57,464 --> 00:49:58,733
Thank you.
691
00:50:06,574 --> 00:50:08,342
Get you training,
little brother.
692
00:50:08,442 --> 00:50:12,580
Whoo! Okay.
693
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,635
One, two...
694
00:52:04,191 --> 00:52:06,761
Whoo!
695
00:52:43,898 --> 00:52:47,869
We get Kerry front-row St. Louis
and the crowd was electrified.
696
00:52:47,969 --> 00:52:50,705
He's gonna be
World Heavyweight Champion
one day.
697
00:52:52,272 --> 00:52:54,575
You aren't pressing.
This is pressing.
698
00:52:54,676 --> 00:52:56,644
You feel that? You feel that?
699
00:52:56,744 --> 00:52:57,477
Now push.
700
00:52:57,578 --> 00:52:59,847
Damn it!
Well, you gotta get this!
701
00:52:59,947 --> 00:53:03,483
Freebirds, ever since
you've arrived in the WCCW,
702
00:53:03,584 --> 00:53:07,055
you've done nothing but lie,
bully and cheat your way to
victory. And we're sick of it.
703
00:53:07,155 --> 00:53:08,623
There you go.
704
00:53:08,723 --> 00:53:11,592
Now, you've made this
about Georgia versus Texas
and it isn't.
705
00:53:11,693 --> 00:53:14,461
It's about filth versus decency.
And you know it.
706
00:53:14,562 --> 00:53:18,566
And we're here today
to restore justice and order
to the wrestling federation
707
00:53:18,666 --> 00:53:21,669
that our father built
with his own two hands.
708
00:53:21,769 --> 00:53:24,371
The hands that were passed down
to us.
709
00:53:24,471 --> 00:53:27,175
The hands that will deliver
the Iron Claw to you.
710
00:53:51,231 --> 00:53:54,535
Welcome to WCCW.
711
00:53:54,635 --> 00:53:59,339
The only promotion
being broadcast worldwide.
712
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,612
To my left at a combined weight
of 740 pounds
713
00:54:04,712 --> 00:54:07,749
from Bad Street, Atlanta,
Georgia.
714
00:54:07,849 --> 00:54:12,754
The reigning NWA
six-man tag team champions,
715
00:54:12,854 --> 00:54:16,356
The Fabulous Freebirds.
716
00:54:18,358 --> 00:54:22,764
And the challengers
from Denton, Texas,
717
00:54:22,864 --> 00:54:26,734
weighing in at a combined weight
of 690 pounds,
718
00:54:26,834 --> 00:54:33,241
Kevin, Kerry,
and David Von Erich.
719
00:54:44,519 --> 00:54:46,386
It's total mayhem.
720
00:54:46,486 --> 00:54:49,824
Gordy kicks out
and Hayes elbows his own man.
721
00:54:49,924 --> 00:54:52,359
Kerry moving out of the way
just in time.
722
00:54:52,459 --> 00:54:54,662
All hell has broken loose.
723
00:54:54,762 --> 00:54:58,566
Kevin tossing Michael Hayes
through the ropes,
724
00:54:58,666 --> 00:55:00,635
the Ref trying to restore
some order here.
725
00:55:00,735 --> 00:55:02,502
He forces Kevin
back to his corner.
726
00:55:02,603 --> 00:55:04,038
Buddy Roberts comes in.
727
00:55:04,138 --> 00:55:05,673
Two-on-one on Kerry.
728
00:55:05,773 --> 00:55:08,543
Oh, no. But Kerry flips Buddy
over the top rope.
729
00:55:08,643 --> 00:55:11,478
Kerry off the ropes
with a cross body.
730
00:55:11,579 --> 00:55:15,283
Terry Gordy catches him.
What he's going to do with him?
731
00:55:15,382 --> 00:55:17,185
Here comes David
with a drop kick.
732
00:55:17,285 --> 00:55:19,821
Kerry falls on Gordy.
And that's it.
733
00:55:19,921 --> 00:55:21,789
That's it!
734
00:55:21,889 --> 00:55:22,957
The Von Erichs win!
735
00:55:24,158 --> 00:55:25,860
What a special moment
today.
736
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:31,599
-The winners and new NWA World's
Six-man tag team champions,
737
00:55:31,699 --> 00:55:38,172
Kevin, Kerry,
and David Von Erich!
738
00:55:38,272 --> 00:55:40,373
You did it.
I'm real proud of you.
739
00:55:45,813 --> 00:55:46,814
So...
740
00:55:46,914 --> 00:55:49,317
Freebirds,
741
00:55:49,416 --> 00:55:55,256
tonight you saw
the strength and resilience
of my family.
742
00:55:58,391 --> 00:56:01,729
We're sending a message
to Sam Muchnick
743
00:56:01,829 --> 00:56:06,033
and every other territory
out there in the NWA.
744
00:56:06,133 --> 00:56:10,271
WCCW is the best
in the business.
745
00:56:13,406 --> 00:56:17,511
The Von Erichs are the best
in the business.
746
00:56:20,781 --> 00:56:22,884
And we're coming for you all.
747
00:56:24,318 --> 00:56:28,723
Well, Fritz, calling out the man
who runs the NWA on air
by name.
748
00:56:28,823 --> 00:56:31,158
That's a bold
and unprecedented move.
749
00:56:31,259 --> 00:56:33,094
It's necessary, Bill,
750
00:56:33,194 --> 00:56:37,231
because I will make it
my life's work to see to it
751
00:56:37,331 --> 00:56:43,403
that David Von Erich
will be the next
NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
752
00:56:47,909 --> 00:56:50,845
And then each and every
one of my sons
753
00:56:50,945 --> 00:56:54,615
starting with Kevin,
then Kerry, then Mike.
754
00:56:59,253 --> 00:57:04,058
All one day will lift that
World Heavyweight title belt,
755
00:57:04,158 --> 00:57:08,562
because the Von Erich's
are and will forever be
756
00:57:08,663 --> 00:57:12,767
the greatest family
in the history of wrestling.
757
00:57:14,368 --> 00:57:16,203
Congratulations, boys.
758
00:57:16,304 --> 00:57:19,307
I'm sure he doesn't mean
me first.
759
00:57:19,407 --> 00:57:21,676
Pop doesn't make mistakes
like that.
760
00:57:23,476 --> 00:57:25,012
Is there a problem?
761
00:57:27,014 --> 00:57:28,115
No, sir.
762
00:58:13,627 --> 00:58:17,565
Boys,
I've got good news.
763
00:58:17,665 --> 00:58:23,037
We are finally getting
a World Heavyweight title shot
with Ric Flair.
764
00:58:24,472 --> 00:58:26,173
And they want it to be you,
David.
765
00:58:28,409 --> 00:58:30,411
Don't look to your brother.
766
00:58:30,511 --> 00:58:34,348
This is your time,
your opportunity.
767
00:58:34,448 --> 00:58:37,952
You've been chosen.
You earned it.
768
00:58:38,052 --> 00:58:39,920
You'll go on the road
and feud with Flair
769
00:58:40,021 --> 00:58:43,057
in every territory in America
over the next six months.
770
00:58:44,091 --> 00:58:45,593
Then you'll go to Japan.
771
00:58:45,693 --> 00:58:49,130
You can't be World Champion
unless you win over Japan.
772
00:58:49,230 --> 00:58:53,034
Then you'll fight with Flair
at Parade of Champions in May
at Texas Stadium.
773
00:58:54,568 --> 00:58:55,970
Are you up for it?
774
00:58:56,070 --> 00:58:57,638
Of course I am.
775
00:58:58,372 --> 00:59:00,074
I love you, Pop.
776
00:59:01,642 --> 00:59:03,844
I love you too, son.
777
00:59:03,944 --> 00:59:06,580
I've waited my whole life
to have that belt.
778
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,551
We've had a couple of setbacks,
but I can feel it.
779
00:59:10,651 --> 00:59:13,654
If you perform,
the title will be ours.
780
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:19,226
Now, this wouldn't be happening
without the two of you.
781
00:59:20,428 --> 00:59:23,030
You've made your brother better,
782
00:59:23,130 --> 00:59:26,300
and your collective effort
has pushed him to the top.
783
00:59:27,301 --> 00:59:29,603
Keep it up out there.
784
00:59:29,703 --> 00:59:32,106
You never know
when your opportunity will come.
785
00:59:32,206 --> 00:59:33,808
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
786
00:59:40,781 --> 00:59:43,617
Fuck yeah, David.
Fuck yeah.
787
01:01:18,547 --> 01:01:20,714
Too much already? It's early.
788
01:01:24,619 --> 01:01:26,086
Who is it?
789
01:01:31,593 --> 01:01:33,694
Shit, brother. You all right?
790
01:01:33,794 --> 01:01:35,029
Yeah. Yeah.
791
01:01:35,129 --> 01:01:37,464
Yeah, we got just
some stomach cramps.
792
01:01:43,538 --> 01:01:45,472
Jesus, man.
793
01:01:47,208 --> 01:01:49,443
-You need to see a doctor.
-No, I'm fine.
794
01:01:51,145 --> 01:01:52,780
You're not fine.
795
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,848
No, it's just a bug
I picked up on the road.
796
01:01:54,949 --> 01:01:56,483
Don't worry about it.
797
01:02:03,490 --> 01:02:05,092
Maybe you're pushing too hard.
798
01:02:06,860 --> 01:02:08,429
You need to rest.
799
01:02:09,363 --> 01:02:11,600
I'm almost there.
800
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:14,935
You think it's gonna slow down
when you become world champion?
801
01:02:15,035 --> 01:02:18,872
I'm fine, Kev.
Seriously, I'm just sick.
I'll be good.
802
01:02:18,973 --> 01:02:21,175
I don't think you should go
to Japan next week.
803
01:02:25,479 --> 01:02:28,882
Okay. All right, yeah.
804
01:02:28,983 --> 01:02:30,184
-Shit.
-For sure.
805
01:02:39,927 --> 01:02:41,962
-Hey, Dave.
-Hmm?
806
01:02:43,230 --> 01:02:45,165
I just wanna say,
807
01:02:45,266 --> 01:02:48,502
I didn't take it so well,
you jumping me and all.
808
01:02:49,837 --> 01:02:51,539
I understand.
809
01:02:54,408 --> 01:02:55,776
I got pretty angry.
810
01:02:56,977 --> 01:02:59,980
Not at you.
Just at the whole situation.
811
01:03:02,517 --> 01:03:05,352
Thing is, I didn't even really
want it that bad.
812
01:03:07,788 --> 01:03:10,324
I just love being out there
with you guys.
813
01:03:12,326 --> 01:03:15,129
It's the only thing
that matters to me.
814
01:03:19,033 --> 01:03:20,401
Look at you, man.
815
01:03:20,501 --> 01:03:23,304
Married two hours
and already losing
your competitive edge.
816
01:03:25,472 --> 01:03:27,174
Maybe.
817
01:03:30,477 --> 01:03:33,314
I'll be pretty happy to focus
on my family though.
818
01:03:34,516 --> 01:03:35,517
Family?
819
01:03:36,685 --> 01:03:39,086
Turns out
this is a shotgun wedding.
820
01:03:39,186 --> 01:03:41,922
-You rat bastard.
-Don't tell anyone.
821
01:03:42,022 --> 01:03:43,857
God damn it, Kev.
822
01:03:45,192 --> 01:03:47,828
Oh, man, that makes me
so happy.
823
01:03:48,362 --> 01:03:49,597
Shit.
824
01:03:51,932 --> 01:03:53,535
-I'm gonna be an uncle?
-Yes, sir.
825
01:03:53,635 --> 01:03:55,836
Gonna be an uncle, all right.
826
01:03:56,604 --> 01:03:57,706
I'm happy for you guys.
827
01:03:57,806 --> 01:03:59,106
Now we got
some dancing to do.
Come on.
828
01:03:59,206 --> 01:04:00,274
Hold on. Let me look at
you real quick.
829
01:04:00,374 --> 01:04:02,009
No, I'm good.
Let's go. Let's get out there.
830
01:04:23,997 --> 01:04:28,369
Look how lovely she looks
when she puts a little effort
into her appearance.
831
01:04:28,469 --> 01:04:30,104
They're a great couple.
832
01:04:31,271 --> 01:04:33,641
Reminds me of a couple
I knew once.
833
01:04:34,942 --> 01:04:37,344
How about we get out of here,
Dottie.
834
01:04:38,780 --> 01:04:41,081
Well, I could use some air.
835
01:04:41,181 --> 01:04:43,718
We could take advantage
of the situation.
836
01:04:44,184 --> 01:04:46,521
No boys in the house.
837
01:04:46,621 --> 01:04:50,324
And I don't have to worry
about you getting me
pregnant anymore.
838
01:04:51,258 --> 01:04:52,493
Big stud.
839
01:04:59,967 --> 01:05:01,435
Whoo!
840
01:05:06,641 --> 01:05:07,642
Whoo!
841
01:06:10,270 --> 01:06:11,706
Pop?
842
01:06:15,777 --> 01:06:17,077
Pop, what is it?
843
01:06:20,782 --> 01:06:22,082
David.
844
01:06:24,519 --> 01:06:25,620
What happened?
845
01:06:28,222 --> 01:06:30,658
He died in his hotel room
in Japan.
846
01:06:34,596 --> 01:06:36,497
A ruptured intestine.
847
01:06:42,604 --> 01:06:44,204
How does that happen?
848
01:07:02,957 --> 01:07:08,262
Take those sunglasses off.
All of you.
849
01:07:09,597 --> 01:07:11,799
No hiding.
850
01:07:11,900 --> 01:07:13,801
And I don't wanna see
any tears.
851
01:07:15,302 --> 01:07:18,840
The Lord decided it was time
for David to move on.
852
01:07:18,940 --> 01:07:20,675
We have to accept that.
853
01:07:20,775 --> 01:07:24,044
In his 25 years, he lived
75 years' worth of life.
854
01:08:15,697 --> 01:08:20,100
Kev, sorry I sent this
to the house.
855
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,135
I couldn't remember
your new address.
856
01:08:23,071 --> 01:08:24,606
I miss you, brother.
857
01:08:24,706 --> 01:08:26,273
You gotta come with me
next time.
858
01:08:27,075 --> 01:08:28,610
It's wild over here.
859
01:08:30,377 --> 01:08:33,848
Someone asked me
for an autograph today
because they thought I was you.
860
01:08:35,382 --> 01:08:37,150
It made me very happy.
861
01:08:41,623 --> 01:08:43,323
I'll probably be home
by the time you get this,
862
01:08:43,423 --> 01:08:44,926
so this is stupid.
863
01:08:45,026 --> 01:08:47,327
But just wanted to send.
864
01:08:49,162 --> 01:08:50,464
See you soon.
865
01:09:24,331 --> 01:09:25,933
Come on, hon!
866
01:09:38,112 --> 01:09:40,247
I am here if you wanna talk.
867
01:09:41,248 --> 01:09:42,917
No. I'm good.
868
01:09:49,557 --> 01:09:52,492
It's hard to see clearly
in this dark moment,
869
01:09:55,630 --> 01:09:58,599
but we cannot let this tragedy
define us.
870
01:10:01,035 --> 01:10:04,906
Our greatness will be measured
by our response to adversity.
871
01:10:09,443 --> 01:10:11,879
Now, David's title match
against Ric Flair
872
01:10:11,979 --> 01:10:16,818
at Parade of Champions
is a moment of a lifetime.
873
01:10:16,918 --> 01:10:20,922
We still have a chance
to bring the World Heavyweight
Championship home
874
01:10:21,022 --> 01:10:26,326
if one of you will step up
and wrestle in his place.
875
01:10:26,426 --> 01:10:30,932
Everything we have
ever worked for in the ring
is riding on this moment.
876
01:10:34,669 --> 01:10:35,837
I'll do it.
877
01:10:37,972 --> 01:10:38,973
I can do it, Dad.
878
01:10:41,374 --> 01:10:42,744
I can do it, too.
879
01:10:43,477 --> 01:10:45,947
Kerry, I'll do it.
880
01:10:46,047 --> 01:10:49,416
I'm ready, Dad. I want it.
881
01:10:50,718 --> 01:10:53,020
You don't have to.
It's my mess.
882
01:10:53,121 --> 01:10:54,454
No! I deserve it, too!
883
01:10:54,555 --> 01:10:58,693
Boys, boys.
It's a tough decision.
884
01:10:58,793 --> 01:11:02,964
You are the oldest Kev,
but Kerry's been getting
the most heat lately.
885
01:11:04,866 --> 01:11:06,433
We're gonna flip a coin.
886
01:11:07,267 --> 01:11:09,402
That's the only fair way
to decide.
887
01:11:10,671 --> 01:11:14,842
Heads for Kerry.
Tails for Kevin.
888
01:11:24,018 --> 01:11:28,421
Texas Stadium,
please welcome
the modern-day warrior,
889
01:11:28,523 --> 01:11:33,293
Kerry Von Erich!
890
01:11:53,446 --> 01:11:58,152
35,000 people here to celebrate
the life of David Von Erich.
891
01:11:58,252 --> 01:12:00,655
Make sure you're on
for his brother,
Kerry Von Erich.
892
01:12:00,755 --> 01:12:03,758
Ric Flair here,
can't find a handle.
893
01:12:03,858 --> 01:12:07,427
The champion is always
the favorite
in a match like this.
894
01:12:07,528 --> 01:12:09,730
Here on the biggest stage.
895
01:12:09,831 --> 01:12:14,202
Stepover to the hold from Flair,
and Kerry puts a stop to that.
896
01:12:14,302 --> 01:12:15,670
He knocks it away.
897
01:12:15,770 --> 01:12:18,806
Here's Flair, to the ropes.
Wants to toss Kerry, but...
898
01:12:18,906 --> 01:12:21,742
Kerry's... Kerry's got him.
He's got him in a backslide.
899
01:12:22,910 --> 01:12:25,513
There's the pin. Two, Three.
900
01:12:25,613 --> 01:12:27,480
The dream has come true, yes!
901
01:12:27,582 --> 01:12:30,651
Kerry Von Erich, the NWA World
Heavyweight Champion.
902
01:12:30,751 --> 01:12:34,288
He wins it
for his brother David,
for his father Fritz.
903
01:12:34,387 --> 01:12:36,456
And for the whole
Von Erich family.
904
01:12:36,557 --> 01:12:41,762
-The Winner and new
-World Heavyweight Champion,
905
01:12:41,863 --> 01:12:45,465
Kerry Von Erich!
906
01:12:56,310 --> 01:12:59,947
Hey, I didn't know
you were still here.
907
01:13:00,047 --> 01:13:04,652
Yeah, just helping Pop.
I'm about to head home.
908
01:13:08,189 --> 01:13:09,389
How you doing?
909
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,330
I'm having trouble
coming down.
910
01:13:16,429 --> 01:13:18,933
Yeah. Yeah, I bet.
911
01:13:26,540 --> 01:13:29,076
I can't believe
it's finally in our family.
912
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:33,446
Yeah.
913
01:13:41,055 --> 01:13:43,190
You know what?
I think I'm gonna go for a ride
or something.
914
01:13:44,692 --> 01:13:47,762
All right. Yeah, be careful.
915
01:13:50,731 --> 01:13:53,500
-Hey, Ker.
-Yeah.
916
01:13:54,669 --> 01:13:56,003
You were great today.
917
01:14:01,509 --> 01:14:02,843
Thank you.
918
01:16:25,186 --> 01:16:26,854
Is everything correct?
919
01:16:30,691 --> 01:16:33,327
Actually, his last name
will be Adkisson.
920
01:16:33,427 --> 01:16:34,995
That's my birth name.
921
01:16:35,096 --> 01:16:36,330
Do you have
your birth certificate?
922
01:16:36,430 --> 01:16:37,765
Yes, I do.
923
01:16:42,571 --> 01:16:44,305
Let me update it
and I'll be right back.
924
01:16:44,405 --> 01:16:46,273
-Mmm-hmm.
-Thanks.
925
01:16:46,373 --> 01:16:48,409
Are you sure
you wanna do that?
926
01:16:48,510 --> 01:16:49,743
No.
927
01:16:50,811 --> 01:16:53,247
I just... I'll feel safer
for him, I think.
928
01:16:53,347 --> 01:16:56,650
Kev, you know
it's got nothing to do
with the name.
929
01:16:56,750 --> 01:16:58,285
Yeah, I know.
930
01:17:00,589 --> 01:17:02,857
Don't cross your damn feet.
Shuffle.
931
01:17:05,092 --> 01:17:07,161
Yup. Stand tall.
Use your height!
932
01:17:09,730 --> 01:17:11,966
Hey! That doesn't mean anything,
all right?
933
01:17:12,066 --> 01:17:14,168
Twist it again,
make it mean something.
934
01:17:15,570 --> 01:17:16,871
Headlock.
935
01:17:19,340 --> 01:17:21,675
Keep that S grip tight.
I don't wanna see any windows.
936
01:17:21,775 --> 01:17:23,644
There's no air in there.
937
01:17:23,744 --> 01:17:26,247
Switch your hips.
Switch your feet.
938
01:17:27,582 --> 01:17:30,184
Come on, God damn it.
Switch your feet.
939
01:17:30,284 --> 01:17:31,886
-Like that?
-Yes.
940
01:17:34,355 --> 01:17:35,624
There it is.
941
01:17:35,723 --> 01:17:37,658
Let's do it again.
It's... it's still not...
942
01:17:37,758 --> 01:17:40,027
It's fine, Mike.
You're doing fine.
Just keep going.
943
01:17:40,127 --> 01:17:41,195
Circle up.
944
01:17:44,765 --> 01:17:46,734
Michael Von Erich,
moving around the ring.
945
01:17:46,834 --> 01:17:48,169
He looks ready for this match.
946
01:18:24,639 --> 01:18:26,140
Hey, Hey.
947
01:18:29,476 --> 01:18:31,278
Come here. Where does it hurt?
948
01:18:31,378 --> 01:18:33,347
Ow!
949
01:18:54,401 --> 01:18:57,037
-Hey, Doc.
-Kevin. Fritz.
950
01:18:57,137 --> 01:18:58,540
How'd it go?
951
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:02,476
Um, we completed
the surgery as planned.
952
01:19:02,577 --> 01:19:03,612
We repaired the shoulder,
953
01:19:03,712 --> 01:19:05,946
but it was trickier
than we anticipated.
954
01:19:06,046 --> 01:19:07,748
Mike's temperature skyrocketed.
955
01:19:07,848 --> 01:19:09,917
We worked really hard
to bring it down,
956
01:19:10,017 --> 01:19:12,386
but it was close to 107 degrees
for almost two hours.
957
01:19:12,486 --> 01:19:15,624
We believe he suffered
toxic shock syndrome.
958
01:19:15,724 --> 01:19:17,358
What does that mean?
959
01:19:17,458 --> 01:19:19,994
I'm sorry to say that
Mike is in a coma.
960
01:19:20,662 --> 01:19:23,097
What? How?
961
01:19:23,197 --> 01:19:24,832
It was a routine
shoulder surgery.
962
01:19:24,932 --> 01:19:28,168
Well, it's rare,
but it happens.
963
01:19:28,269 --> 01:19:31,372
All we can do now is wait
and pray he pulls through.
964
01:19:31,472 --> 01:19:33,140
I'm very sorry.
965
01:19:37,811 --> 01:19:39,547
Why is this
happening to us?
966
01:19:42,983 --> 01:19:44,952
Why does it
just keep happening?
967
01:19:45,052 --> 01:19:47,988
-Okay, baby, stay with me.
-Okay?
968
01:19:48,088 --> 01:19:50,090
But it keeps happening.
969
01:19:51,526 --> 01:19:53,360
It's taken over.
970
01:19:53,460 --> 01:19:57,998
It was a terrible accident.
Nothing more.
971
01:19:58,098 --> 01:19:59,800
He shouldn't
have even been in the ring.
972
01:20:00,669 --> 01:20:02,637
This is not your fault.
973
01:20:02,737 --> 01:20:07,542
If you want to blame someone,
you blame your father,
but it is not your fault.
974
01:20:07,642 --> 01:20:12,179
-I should've stopped him.
No. No.
What could you do, Kevin?
975
01:20:12,279 --> 01:20:15,049
There is no getting through
to that man.
976
01:20:25,926 --> 01:20:31,465
Hey. Hey, hon.
I'm late for work,
and I can't get him to settle.
977
01:20:31,566 --> 01:20:33,400
Can you take him for me?
978
01:20:34,803 --> 01:20:36,170
I can't.
979
01:20:36,270 --> 01:20:38,405
What? Just...
Okay, just take him
till your mom gets here.
980
01:20:38,506 --> 01:20:39,607
I gotta go.
981
01:20:40,775 --> 01:20:42,276
I can't.
982
01:20:42,376 --> 01:20:43,877
Kevin?
983
01:20:45,312 --> 01:20:48,182
Kevin! Come on.
984
01:20:48,282 --> 01:20:50,150
Yeah. Sorry.
985
01:20:50,250 --> 01:20:51,820
Here. Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
986
01:20:59,761 --> 01:21:01,195
Hey.
987
01:21:02,429 --> 01:21:04,031
It's okay.
988
01:21:08,435 --> 01:21:09,436
It's okay.
989
01:21:09,537 --> 01:21:11,138
Thank you all for coming,
990
01:21:11,238 --> 01:21:15,042
and thank you
all the love and support.
991
01:21:15,142 --> 01:21:17,746
Hey, Mike,
are you feeling okay?
992
01:21:17,846 --> 01:21:19,012
Yeah.
993
01:21:22,249 --> 01:21:25,152
We're all just so excited
that Mike pulled through.
994
01:21:26,253 --> 01:21:28,322
Shows how much
of a fighter he is.
995
01:21:29,490 --> 01:21:31,559
And, uh...
996
01:21:31,659 --> 01:21:33,628
after losing David, it's just...
997
01:21:33,728 --> 01:21:36,263
it's too much to think
that we almost lost Mike, too.
998
01:21:39,634 --> 01:21:44,506
I... I'm moved that, uh,
999
01:21:44,606 --> 01:21:49,910
my whole family is here
with me through everything.
1000
01:21:50,010 --> 01:21:51,311
And, uh...
1001
01:21:54,982 --> 01:21:57,951
that y'all out there
sent flowers.
1002
01:21:59,621 --> 01:22:00,822
Uh,
1003
01:22:01,388 --> 01:22:05,025
and, um,
I'm thankful to everyone.
1004
01:22:05,125 --> 01:22:08,530
So what's
the timeframe for your return
to the ring, Mike?
1005
01:22:10,197 --> 01:22:13,967
I know I'll be back, uh,
1006
01:22:14,803 --> 01:22:15,770
soon.
1007
01:22:15,870 --> 01:22:17,337
Yeah, soon.
1008
01:22:18,807 --> 01:22:22,309
Mike's a fighter
more than people even realize,
I think.
1009
01:22:22,409 --> 01:22:26,714
And he's gonna be back
in the ring in no time.
1010
01:23:44,358 --> 01:23:47,629
One, two, three!
1011
01:26:23,718 --> 01:26:25,687
Fuck!
1012
01:26:32,492 --> 01:26:34,929
-Here you go.
-Thanks.
1013
01:26:40,802 --> 01:26:45,272
That's the house I grew up in.
I painted that.
1014
01:26:46,708 --> 01:26:51,244
What, what?
Why didn't you tell anyone?
1015
01:26:51,344 --> 01:26:55,750
I had my reasons.
Just don't remember
'em anymore.
1016
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:01,889
I'm scared, Ma.
1017
01:27:05,993 --> 01:27:10,998
God loves you, Michael.
There is nothing
to be scared of.
1018
01:27:14,102 --> 01:27:15,536
I'm not David.
1019
01:27:17,538 --> 01:27:18,639
What?
1020
01:27:20,141 --> 01:27:24,979
Everybody wants me to be David,
but I can't replace him.
1021
01:28:40,021 --> 01:28:41,421
Come on!
1022
01:28:49,730 --> 01:28:50,998
Ow!
1023
01:28:58,371 --> 01:29:00,473
I see how much pain you're in.
1024
01:29:00,575 --> 01:29:03,845
We can't rush this.
It's gonna take time, Kerry.
1025
01:29:04,645 --> 01:29:07,582
I'm ready. I'm ready. Again!
1026
01:29:07,682 --> 01:29:10,685
Maybe this is God trying
to tell you to slow down.
1027
01:29:10,785 --> 01:29:11,953
Huh?
1028
01:29:12,053 --> 01:29:14,622
Maybe you should do
something else
with your life.
1029
01:29:14,722 --> 01:29:15,923
Why?
1030
01:29:17,058 --> 01:29:19,126
So, you're the only brother
left in the ring?
1031
01:29:20,460 --> 01:29:22,663
You get all daddy's attention?
Fuck you.
1032
01:29:22,763 --> 01:29:25,498
I want you in the ring.
I can't do this by myself!
1033
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,501
Come on! Come on!
1034
01:29:28,603 --> 01:29:30,571
Can't just hide this, Kerry.
1035
01:29:46,587 --> 01:29:49,891
You want back in?
Then get up.
1036
01:29:51,458 --> 01:29:56,496
You want back in, then get up!
Get up!
1037
01:30:14,215 --> 01:30:16,416
I'm sorry if I hurt you,
1038
01:30:17,685 --> 01:30:20,588
but I'm going to a better place.
1039
01:30:23,557 --> 01:30:25,159
Mike!
1040
01:30:29,897 --> 01:30:31,032
Mike!
1041
01:30:33,768 --> 01:30:34,869
Mikey!
1042
01:30:46,013 --> 01:30:47,214
Mike!
1043
01:31:14,175 --> 01:31:17,678
Doris, honey, we should go.
1044
01:31:22,016 --> 01:31:23,884
I can't put it on.
1045
01:31:28,022 --> 01:31:30,224
Everyone will recognize it.
I...
1046
01:31:35,296 --> 01:31:36,664
I can't.
1047
01:31:40,101 --> 01:31:43,938
I can't. I... I need a...
a new dress.
1048
01:31:44,038 --> 01:31:48,409
Honey. Honey, listen to me.
People here love you.
1049
01:31:48,509 --> 01:31:50,344
All right? They don't care.
1050
01:31:52,346 --> 01:31:57,251
Doris... we all love you.
1051
01:31:59,653 --> 01:32:01,756
All right, come on.
1052
01:32:02,990 --> 01:32:05,926
-All right.
-Come on.
1053
01:32:07,728 --> 01:32:13,234
Today we are here
to lay to rest our son,
1054
01:32:13,901 --> 01:32:17,438
Michael Brett Adkisson,
1055
01:32:17,538 --> 01:32:21,709
my sweet, beautiful boy.
1056
01:32:24,513 --> 01:32:27,982
Kind, funny,
1057
01:32:29,450 --> 01:32:33,587
and, uh, truly good.
1058
01:32:36,357 --> 01:32:37,992
Are you coming home tonight?
1059
01:32:46,700 --> 01:32:50,738
I don't know. I'm not sure.
1060
01:32:54,675 --> 01:32:58,813
Um, I know how painful this is.
I do.
1061
01:32:58,913 --> 01:33:02,316
And, uh, I'm trying
to be patient but this...
1062
01:33:02,416 --> 01:33:04,585
this doesn't work for me.
1063
01:33:07,054 --> 01:33:08,689
-Okay?
-I know.
1064
01:33:08,789 --> 01:33:11,959
So, just come home, all right?
1065
01:33:12,059 --> 01:33:13,594
Just be with us.
1066
01:33:15,530 --> 01:33:16,697
Hey.
1067
01:33:17,631 --> 01:33:19,600
I don't want him to get it.
1068
01:33:20,569 --> 01:33:22,336
I don't want you guys
to catch it.
1069
01:33:22,436 --> 01:33:24,071
Kevin, you can't be serious.
1070
01:33:24,171 --> 01:33:25,139
I'm sorry.
1071
01:33:25,239 --> 01:33:28,209
-Just...
-I'm sorry.
1072
01:33:28,309 --> 01:33:29,977
Come home.
1073
01:33:30,077 --> 01:33:33,047
I can't, okay?
1074
01:33:37,985 --> 01:33:39,019
Okay.
1075
01:33:42,591 --> 01:33:43,624
Okay.
1076
01:34:51,492 --> 01:34:52,527
Ever since I was a child,
1077
01:34:52,627 --> 01:34:54,128
people said
my family was cursed.
1078
01:34:58,265 --> 01:35:00,467
It never seemed to worry
my father.
1079
01:35:02,803 --> 01:35:06,207
He said if we were the toughest,
the strongest...
1080
01:35:06,307 --> 01:35:08,275
The toughest,
the strongest...
1081
01:35:08,375 --> 01:35:10,110
...the most
successful...
...the most successful,
1082
01:35:10,211 --> 01:35:12,479
-the absolute best...
-...the absolute best,
1083
01:35:13,648 --> 01:35:15,416
nothing could ever hurt us.
1084
01:35:17,284 --> 01:35:19,253
Faster!
1085
01:35:19,353 --> 01:35:20,888
I believed him.
1086
01:35:23,457 --> 01:35:25,125
Faster!
1087
01:35:27,027 --> 01:35:28,395
We all did.
1088
01:35:39,541 --> 01:35:42,611
This match
is scheduled for one fall
1089
01:35:42,711 --> 01:35:46,847
and it's for the NWA World
Heavyweight Championship.
1090
01:35:46,947 --> 01:35:48,617
Now, Ric,
there's been a lot of talk
1091
01:35:48,717 --> 01:35:52,119
that you've been resisting
coming down to the Sportatorium
1092
01:35:52,219 --> 01:35:55,055
to defend your title
against Kevin Von Erich.
1093
01:35:57,592 --> 01:36:03,264
It is so hard to be humble
1094
01:36:03,364 --> 01:36:07,001
when you're looking
like Ric Flair.
1095
01:36:08,269 --> 01:36:12,707
You see the difference
between me
1096
01:36:12,806 --> 01:36:16,110
and a lot of these
so-called big-time stars
1097
01:36:16,210 --> 01:36:20,814
is that I'm custom made
from head to toe.
1098
01:36:20,914 --> 01:36:23,150
That's why I've got
the biggest house,
1099
01:36:23,250 --> 01:36:28,789
on the biggest hill
on the biggest side of town.
1100
01:36:28,889 --> 01:36:32,326
That's why this sports coat
costs $800.
1101
01:36:32,426 --> 01:36:36,263
And I don't know
what that costs!
I'd be ashamed to wear it!
1102
01:36:36,363 --> 01:36:40,134
That's why I've got
on lizard shoes
and a Rolex watch,
1103
01:36:40,234 --> 01:36:43,804
and I've got
a limousine out there,
a mile long
1104
01:36:43,904 --> 01:36:45,272
with 25 women in it
1105
01:36:45,372 --> 01:36:50,411
just dying for me to go,
whoo!
1106
01:36:50,512 --> 01:36:55,115
Now, let's get to
the less pretty facts of life.
1107
01:36:55,215 --> 01:36:57,786
Kevin, your daddy got together
with the powers that be
1108
01:36:57,885 --> 01:36:59,987
and ordered me back down
here to Dallas
1109
01:37:00,087 --> 01:37:04,024
a nothing-happenin',
second rate sports community.
1110
01:37:04,124 --> 01:37:06,460
I am the World's Heavyweight
Champion,
1111
01:37:06,561 --> 01:37:09,798
because I am the greatest
wrestler alive today,
1112
01:37:09,897 --> 01:37:12,099
the toughest wrestler
alive today.
1113
01:37:12,199 --> 01:37:16,036
I have bled and sweat
for this title
1114
01:37:16,136 --> 01:37:19,373
and no daddy's boy
is going to take that from me.
1115
01:37:19,473 --> 01:37:22,142
This is
professional wrestling.
1116
01:37:23,344 --> 01:37:27,047
It is the most grueling of all
professional sports.
1117
01:37:27,147 --> 01:37:31,118
I've been stabbed,
hit by chairs,
1118
01:37:31,952 --> 01:37:33,887
beat up by everybody.
1119
01:37:33,987 --> 01:37:35,489
I don't cry.
1120
01:37:35,590 --> 01:37:38,892
I don't complain. I carry on.
1121
01:37:39,794 --> 01:37:41,362
But the bottom line is...
1122
01:37:41,462 --> 01:37:42,797
You're denying--
I am talking
right now.
1123
01:37:42,896 --> 01:37:44,733
Hey, listen to me.
Listen to me.
1124
01:37:44,833 --> 01:37:47,434
I'll tell you what, you like
talking to me on the show.
1125
01:37:47,535 --> 01:37:49,771
You'll listen to me talk
while I'm out here.
1126
01:37:51,472 --> 01:37:55,242
The bottom line is,
if you're a man,
1127
01:37:57,010 --> 01:37:58,912
you take the ups and downs.
1128
01:37:59,012 --> 01:38:02,383
If you're a real man,
you'll never go down.
1129
01:38:02,483 --> 01:38:03,917
You'll just stay up.
1130
01:38:05,252 --> 01:38:08,989
That's why I am the World's
Heavyweight Champion.
1131
01:38:10,257 --> 01:38:12,527
And I can go through
Kevin Von Erich,
1132
01:38:12,627 --> 01:38:17,565
or any Von Erich
in the worst day of my life.
1133
01:38:22,737 --> 01:38:29,878
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
1134
01:38:29,977 --> 01:38:34,616
Walk the aisle, daddy's boy!
Walk the aisle!
1135
01:38:37,852 --> 01:38:39,253
And here comes Kevin.
1136
01:38:39,353 --> 01:38:41,155
A meteoric rise
these last two months
1137
01:38:41,255 --> 01:38:42,791
to become
the number one contender
1138
01:38:42,891 --> 01:38:45,025
for the NWA World
Heavyweight title,
1139
01:38:45,125 --> 01:38:47,294
the most prized belt
in all of wrestling,
1140
01:38:47,394 --> 01:38:49,731
the only title
that escaped his father,
1141
01:38:49,831 --> 01:38:51,733
living legend Fritz Von Erich.
1142
01:39:01,609 --> 01:39:03,477
Whoo!
1143
01:39:08,949 --> 01:39:10,718
Ric, come on.
1144
01:39:10,819 --> 01:39:12,854
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
1145
01:39:16,724 --> 01:39:19,993
Come on, now.
Come on.
1146
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:33,741
Kevin, come on, now.
1147
01:39:46,086 --> 01:39:48,790
Kevin, no, no, no.
Kev, Kev, come on.
1148
01:39:48,890 --> 01:39:50,625
What are you doing?
1149
01:40:28,830 --> 01:40:31,064
Okay, Kevin,
come on now. Break the hold.
1150
01:40:31,164 --> 01:40:33,367
One, two, three...
1151
01:40:33,467 --> 01:40:35,168
Come on, Kev, break the hold.
1152
01:40:36,771 --> 01:40:38,540
-Come on, Kev, back up.
-Leave me alone!
1153
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:41,843
-Come on, Kev!
-Leave me alone!
1154
01:40:41,943 --> 01:40:43,745
Ring the bell.
Ring the bell.
1155
01:40:46,480 --> 01:40:48,282
Winner by disqualification
1156
01:40:48,382 --> 01:40:50,384
and still NWA World
Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair.
1157
01:40:50,484 --> 01:40:52,720
-What are you doing?
-Come on. Hey! Come on, Kev.
1158
01:40:55,790 --> 01:40:56,891
Get off of him!
1159
01:40:56,991 --> 01:40:59,059
Kevin Von Erich
has been disqualified.
1160
01:41:03,765 --> 01:41:05,165
What the fuck happened, Kev?
1161
01:41:12,674 --> 01:41:13,741
I don't know.
1162
01:41:16,945 --> 01:41:18,111
I don't know.
1163
01:41:20,915 --> 01:41:22,517
Whoo!
1164
01:41:22,617 --> 01:41:23,818
Ah, Kevin.
1165
01:41:23,918 --> 01:41:25,452
Oh, man. You were great.
1166
01:41:25,553 --> 01:41:28,488
You were one
crazy son of a bitch.
1167
01:41:28,590 --> 01:41:30,992
I mean,
I always thought
you were a little soft,
1168
01:41:31,091 --> 01:41:33,327
but, baby, you got it.
1169
01:41:33,427 --> 01:41:35,063
I'll give you a rematch
any day.
1170
01:41:35,162 --> 01:41:38,198
Christ, let's get a drink.
1171
01:41:38,298 --> 01:41:40,434
Where can we get fucked up
around here?
1172
01:41:40,535 --> 01:41:42,604
Oh, I'm... I'm good. Thanks.
1173
01:41:43,905 --> 01:41:46,473
All right, well,
if you change your mind,
let me know.
1174
01:41:46,574 --> 01:41:48,776
I'll be down
at the Holiday Inn. Phew.
1175
01:41:48,876 --> 01:41:51,445
Oh.
1176
01:41:58,385 --> 01:42:00,253
Come on, son.
1177
01:42:35,857 --> 01:42:38,626
Hang on, I hear you.
1178
01:42:38,726 --> 01:42:40,394
Hang on, I'm just gonna
have to...
1179
01:43:02,482 --> 01:43:04,919
-Hey.
-What's up?
1180
01:43:05,019 --> 01:43:06,954
Hey, guys. How you doing?
1181
01:43:07,055 --> 01:43:07,989
-How was your day?
-Good.
1182
01:43:08,089 --> 01:43:09,222
It was amazing, yeah.
1183
01:43:09,322 --> 01:43:12,259
-What'd you learn?
-We have learnt...
1184
01:43:15,262 --> 01:43:17,899
Hey, boys,
come set up for dinner.
1185
01:43:23,905 --> 01:43:26,007
A couple more pieces of it.
1186
01:43:26,107 --> 01:43:27,608
-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, Mom!
1187
01:43:27,709 --> 01:43:28,509
Hi, Mom.
1188
01:43:28,609 --> 01:43:32,613
Oh, hello, hello. I love you.
1189
01:43:36,084 --> 01:43:37,952
May I be excused?
1190
01:43:38,052 --> 01:43:39,319
Have one more piece
of broccoli.
1191
01:43:39,419 --> 01:43:41,221
-All right.
-Make it two.
1192
01:43:43,390 --> 01:43:45,693
All right. Get out of here.
1193
01:43:48,462 --> 01:43:51,298
Hey, how was your day?
1194
01:43:51,999 --> 01:43:55,002
It was... long.
1195
01:43:55,103 --> 01:43:56,871
Yeah.
1196
01:43:58,039 --> 01:44:01,743
-You?
-Yeah, all right.
1197
01:44:08,549 --> 01:44:10,618
We need to make a change.
1198
01:44:12,854 --> 01:44:14,622
We need a bigger boat.
1199
01:44:45,385 --> 01:44:48,856
So, what did you decide,
boss?
1200
01:44:48,956 --> 01:44:52,193
I think we need
to cut down again
to one show.
1201
01:44:52,292 --> 01:44:54,562
Two is still too many.
1202
01:44:54,662 --> 01:44:56,798
We can get the guys touring
during the week.
1203
01:44:56,898 --> 01:44:59,332
Bring 'em home
for a Saturday night.
1204
01:45:01,869 --> 01:45:05,673
That sounds painful,
but smart.
1205
01:45:05,773 --> 01:45:10,377
The numbers just haven't been
there since Kerry went
to the WWF.
1206
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,884
Jerry called again this morning,
It's a good offer.
1207
01:45:16,984 --> 01:45:18,485
You should think about it.
1208
01:45:34,367 --> 01:45:35,937
Hey, Dad.
1209
01:45:37,705 --> 01:45:42,610
So, we have an offer
on the table
from Jerry Jarrett.
1210
01:45:45,213 --> 01:45:47,148
He wants to buy us out.
1211
01:45:52,352 --> 01:45:54,822
Son, I didn't give you
the company
1212
01:45:54,922 --> 01:45:57,558
so you could turn around
and sell it.
1213
01:45:59,694 --> 01:46:03,396
I need to think about
my family, Dad.
1214
01:46:05,833 --> 01:46:09,604
I'm almost broke.
We need a house.
1215
01:46:09,704 --> 01:46:11,839
And we can't fit
in that apartment anymore.
1216
01:46:11,939 --> 01:46:16,711
If you sell, you can forget
about stepping through
these doors again.
1217
01:46:16,811 --> 01:46:18,679
Damn, you're almost
40 years old.
1218
01:46:18,779 --> 01:46:20,380
Still can't take care
of yourself.
1219
01:46:23,483 --> 01:46:27,487
I've been through the books.
It doesn't add up.
1220
01:46:29,489 --> 01:46:32,727
I didn't make nearly
what it says I did.
1221
01:46:33,294 --> 01:46:36,197
I did what was right all along.
1222
01:46:36,297 --> 01:46:39,200
You think living here
was a free ride?
1223
01:46:39,300 --> 01:46:40,902
Don't you dare question me.
1224
01:46:43,137 --> 01:46:45,239
One, two, three!
1225
01:46:45,339 --> 01:46:46,473
Yes!
1226
01:46:46,574 --> 01:46:50,077
Atta boy, Kerry.
That's how you do it.
1227
01:46:50,711 --> 01:46:53,047
Look at your uncle, boys.
1228
01:47:02,223 --> 01:47:03,324
Hey.
1229
01:47:03,423 --> 01:47:05,092
-Welcome home, champ.
-Hi.
1230
01:47:05,192 --> 01:47:07,261
We've been watching
every match on the TV.
1231
01:47:07,361 --> 01:47:08,329
Thanks. Thanks, Pop.
1232
01:47:08,428 --> 01:47:10,197
Oh, hands-man.
1233
01:47:10,298 --> 01:47:12,566
Hey, Pam.
Where's the babies?
Where's the babies?
1234
01:47:12,667 --> 01:47:14,201
-They're asleep.
-Yeah?
1235
01:47:14,302 --> 01:47:15,202
It's so nice to meet you.
1236
01:47:15,303 --> 01:47:16,337
-Hey!
-Hi.
1237
01:47:16,436 --> 01:47:17,672
-You're late.
-Yeah, I know.
1238
01:47:17,772 --> 01:47:21,075
-Who's this?
-That's uh, that's Tania.
1239
01:47:21,175 --> 01:47:22,643
-Hi.
-Hey.
1240
01:47:22,743 --> 01:47:24,211
-How do you do?
-It's so nice to meet you.
1241
01:47:24,312 --> 01:47:26,247
Let me get a look at you.
1242
01:47:26,347 --> 01:47:31,419
You look strong, son.
WWF Intercontinental Champion,
1243
01:47:31,519 --> 01:47:33,287
second biggest title
in wrestling
1244
01:47:33,387 --> 01:47:34,922
since your brother ruined
our promotion.
1245
01:47:35,022 --> 01:47:36,657
Knew it was time to retire
when I did.
1246
01:47:36,757 --> 01:47:38,693
Kerry, Kerry.
Can you get me a drink, honey?
1247
01:47:38,793 --> 01:47:41,028
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dad, I got you, um...
1248
01:47:41,128 --> 01:47:43,931
I got you something
for Christmas
and I... I don't wanna wait.
1249
01:47:44,031 --> 01:47:44,999
I wanna give it to you now.
Is that all right?
1250
01:47:45,099 --> 01:47:48,169
No. Kerry, no.
We wait for Christmas.
1251
01:47:48,269 --> 01:47:50,304
Oh, come on, Mom.
It's so good, it's so good.
1252
01:47:50,404 --> 01:47:51,672
And Tania and I,
we're going to, uh,
1253
01:47:51,772 --> 01:47:53,507
to Mexico for Christmas. Right?
1254
01:47:53,607 --> 01:47:55,209
I thought you were home
for Christmas.
1255
01:47:55,309 --> 01:47:56,711
I'm here now,
1256
01:47:56,811 --> 01:48:00,581
but we got this great deal
on a Christmas day flight
to Mexico.
1257
01:48:00,681 --> 01:48:04,118
And, you know,
I need the rest.
Been hitting it hard.
1258
01:48:05,386 --> 01:48:09,489
That's, um... That's for you.
1259
01:48:10,992 --> 01:48:12,259
Go ahead.
1260
01:48:14,895 --> 01:48:19,100
Now, that's a...
a Smith & Wesson .357
25th anniversary.
1261
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:20,634
What do you think?
1262
01:48:20,735 --> 01:48:25,006
Hmm. It's beautiful, son.
Thank you.
1263
01:48:25,106 --> 01:48:26,540
Yeah.
1264
01:48:28,009 --> 01:48:29,610
Don't... don't do that.
Don't do that.
1265
01:48:29,710 --> 01:48:30,811
What are you doing?
You gotta shoot that.
1266
01:48:30,911 --> 01:48:32,380
Oh, I don't wanna
shoot it now.
1267
01:48:32,480 --> 01:48:34,148
Well, you always shoot a gun
when you get it.
1268
01:48:34,248 --> 01:48:35,649
I don't wanna shoot it, Kerry.
1269
01:48:35,750 --> 01:48:36,984
Why the fuck not?
1270
01:48:37,084 --> 01:48:38,352
Kerry,
what is wrong with you?
1271
01:48:38,452 --> 01:48:40,087
What, me?
What's wrong with him?
1272
01:48:40,187 --> 01:48:43,557
Watch it, son.
You brought company
to the house.
1273
01:48:43,657 --> 01:48:45,559
Now, we don't wanna be rude.
1274
01:48:45,659 --> 01:48:47,895
Just settle down and we'll have
a nice dinner
1275
01:48:47,995 --> 01:48:50,498
that your mother worked hard
to prepare.
1276
01:48:55,436 --> 01:48:56,771
Yeah.
1277
01:48:58,506 --> 01:49:00,074
Yeah, okay.
1278
01:49:00,174 --> 01:49:01,842
Now, come tell me.
1279
01:49:01,942 --> 01:49:04,845
When are you getting
your world title shot
over there?
1280
01:49:04,945 --> 01:49:05,980
Hmm?
1281
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,149
I see your old tag team partner
Hellwig's holding.
1282
01:49:08,249 --> 01:49:10,519
That guy's got nothing on you.
Never has.
1283
01:49:10,618 --> 01:49:13,654
Oh, soon. Soon, Pop. Soon.
1284
01:49:15,790 --> 01:49:20,027
Are these the boys?
They're so cute.
1285
01:49:20,694 --> 01:49:21,695
Yeah.
1286
01:49:27,368 --> 01:49:28,602
-Hi.
-Hey.
1287
01:49:29,904 --> 01:49:31,472
Man.
Oh, I'm so excited to be home.
1288
01:49:31,572 --> 01:49:33,307
Yeah, I can see.
1289
01:49:33,407 --> 01:49:36,143
Let me look at you. Hmm.
1290
01:49:37,678 --> 01:49:40,815
-You look good.
-Yeah, you too.
1291
01:49:43,717 --> 01:49:45,386
Hey, stop. Stop.
1292
01:49:45,486 --> 01:49:48,889
-Hey, you okay?
-Yeah.
1293
01:49:48,989 --> 01:49:51,425
-Yeah?
-Yeah. Never been better.
1294
01:49:51,526 --> 01:49:53,627
Yeah, okay.
1295
01:50:03,437 --> 01:50:04,805
Hello.
1296
01:50:04,905 --> 01:50:08,109
-Oh, hey. Good. Good.
-You're still up?
1297
01:50:10,744 --> 01:50:13,013
Yeah, yeah, I'm up.
1298
01:50:14,415 --> 01:50:16,183
Where are you?
1299
01:50:16,283 --> 01:50:18,319
Oh, I'm in some hotel
in Dallas.
1300
01:50:21,155 --> 01:50:24,391
Why didn't you go home?
You okay?
1301
01:50:27,596 --> 01:50:28,796
Kerry?
1302
01:50:32,500 --> 01:50:34,235
Oh, I'm scared, man.
1303
01:50:37,771 --> 01:50:39,807
I'm scared. I'm out of control.
1304
01:50:41,442 --> 01:50:43,377
Well, you've got
to get some help.
1305
01:50:45,446 --> 01:50:46,714
I'm in pain.
1306
01:50:49,717 --> 01:50:52,286
I'm in pain all the time.
I'm fucking deformed.
1307
01:50:52,386 --> 01:50:53,954
It takes too much to hide it.
1308
01:50:54,855 --> 01:50:57,424
Well, it doesn't show
in the ring.
1309
01:50:57,526 --> 01:50:59,293
They're not giving me
a new contract.
1310
01:51:01,295 --> 01:51:03,632
And they got me
in house shows
from now on.
1311
01:51:05,065 --> 01:51:07,168
They don't want me anymore.
1312
01:51:07,268 --> 01:51:09,638
Well, I've got...
I got nowhere to go.
1313
01:51:09,737 --> 01:51:11,005
I got no one.
1314
01:51:12,641 --> 01:51:13,741
Where's Tania?
1315
01:51:13,841 --> 01:51:17,044
-Who?
-Tania.
1316
01:51:17,612 --> 01:51:19,079
Ain't... That was nothing. I...
1317
01:51:23,518 --> 01:51:25,119
I need someone.
1318
01:51:27,922 --> 01:51:29,723
You know, I need a family.
1319
01:51:29,823 --> 01:51:35,329
Just come here. Stay with us.
1320
01:51:35,429 --> 01:51:38,232
No, I can't.
I can't let your boys
see me like this.
1321
01:51:43,204 --> 01:51:45,940
Well, then let's get
breakfast somewhere.
1322
01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:49,076
Or meet me at home.
Mom can make us pancakes.
1323
01:51:54,583 --> 01:51:56,150
You know, I want it all to end.
1324
01:51:56,250 --> 01:52:00,154
No, you don't. No, you don't.
You don't mean that.
1325
01:52:00,254 --> 01:52:01,989
I do.
1326
01:52:02,856 --> 01:52:05,426
I'm fucking cursed.
I wanna die.
1327
01:52:06,661 --> 01:52:12,233
How are you gonna
say that to me, huh?
After everything?
1328
01:52:13,234 --> 01:52:17,771
It's in me now.
It's got ahold of me.
1329
01:52:25,112 --> 01:52:32,119
Kerry, just tell me
where you are,
and I'll come and get you.
1330
01:52:38,492 --> 01:52:39,994
Kerry?
1331
01:52:57,811 --> 01:52:59,146
Hello.
1332
01:52:59,246 --> 01:53:02,983
Dad. Dad, all right.
Sorry for the early call.
1333
01:53:03,083 --> 01:53:06,420
It's okay.
I'm heading out
to do some work.
1334
01:53:06,521 --> 01:53:07,656
Where's Mom?
1335
01:53:07,756 --> 01:53:10,057
Sleeping.
1336
01:53:10,157 --> 01:53:14,361
Hey, I just talked to Kerry.
He's in a pretty bad state.
1337
01:53:15,429 --> 01:53:19,967
I'm worried about him.
I'm gonna come out there.
1338
01:53:20,067 --> 01:53:22,369
We need to figure out
how to help him, okay?
1339
01:53:26,473 --> 01:53:30,010
You boys need to work it out
between yourselves.
1340
01:53:30,110 --> 01:53:32,514
Just look out for him,
okay, Dad?
1341
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:34,582
I'll be there as soon as I can.
1342
01:54:35,643 --> 01:54:39,880
No! No!
Kerry, Kerry, Kerry.
1343
01:54:39,980 --> 01:54:42,082
Come on. Hey, Kerry.
1344
01:54:42,182 --> 01:54:43,150
Kerry.
1345
01:54:55,830 --> 01:54:57,931
I told you to look out
for him!
1346
01:54:59,768 --> 01:55:01,736
You didn't take care of him!
1347
01:55:01,836 --> 01:55:03,103
You didn't take care
of any of 'em!
1348
01:55:03,203 --> 01:55:05,673
He called you,
and you didn't help him!
1349
01:55:05,774 --> 01:55:07,274
You--
1350
01:56:25,118 --> 01:56:27,689
I don't know
what's on the other side,
1351
01:56:27,789 --> 01:56:29,524
but I can't be here anymore.
1352
01:56:30,892 --> 01:56:33,393
Tonight,
I walk with my brothers.
1353
01:57:57,912 --> 01:57:59,379
Hey!
1354
01:58:00,848 --> 01:58:02,584
Brother.
1355
01:58:02,984 --> 01:58:04,953
Hey brothers!
1356
01:58:05,053 --> 01:58:06,486
There he is.
1357
01:58:17,565 --> 01:58:18,700
Hey, Mikey.
1358
01:58:26,541 --> 01:58:27,675
Hi.
1359
01:58:34,448 --> 01:58:36,618
World champion
of the afterlife, huh?
1360
01:58:36,718 --> 01:58:37,952
Oh, finally.
1361
01:58:42,023 --> 01:58:43,524
Hey, where's Jack Jr.?
1362
01:58:54,702 --> 01:58:57,304
You must be
my oldest brother, Jackie.
1363
01:58:58,271 --> 01:58:59,841
So nice to meet you.
1364
01:58:59,941 --> 01:59:01,509
Come here.
1365
01:59:20,061 --> 01:59:21,863
I love you, Kerry.
1366
01:59:35,643 --> 01:59:36,744
Thanks, Kevin.
1367
01:59:36,844 --> 01:59:39,614
No, I'd love for you
to stay on wrestling
if you want.
1368
01:59:40,682 --> 01:59:43,483
I appreciate it.
I could use the extra work.
1369
01:59:45,553 --> 01:59:49,489
Just so you know,
your dad called me
out to his ranch.
1370
01:59:49,590 --> 01:59:51,826
Tried to intimidate me
out of buying this from you.
1371
01:59:55,163 --> 01:59:56,898
Oh, he never stops.
1372
01:59:58,599 --> 02:00:02,402
-Well, glad it didn't work.
-Yeah.
1373
02:00:03,838 --> 02:00:04,939
Well...
1374
02:00:06,974 --> 02:00:08,710
I'll give you a minute.
1375
02:00:26,828 --> 02:00:27,962
Dottie?
1376
02:00:29,362 --> 02:00:30,932
In here.
1377
02:00:42,009 --> 02:00:43,310
What are you doing?
1378
02:00:45,378 --> 02:00:46,681
Painting.
1379
02:00:52,019 --> 02:00:53,320
What's for dinner?
1380
02:00:54,021 --> 02:00:55,623
I didn't make anything.
1381
02:00:58,159 --> 02:00:59,459
I'm not hungry.
1382
02:01:39,901 --> 02:01:41,969
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up!
Whoa, okay.
1383
02:01:42,069 --> 02:01:44,539
-Careful, careful.
-Hey.
1384
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:47,141
We want pancakes!
1385
02:01:47,241 --> 02:01:48,810
Mmm-hmm.
How about a good morning?
1386
02:01:48,910 --> 02:01:50,711
Good morning!
1387
02:02:09,096 --> 02:02:10,363
Marshall.
1388
02:02:15,636 --> 02:02:17,038
Oh.
1389
02:02:18,573 --> 02:02:19,907
Marshall.
1390
02:02:31,319 --> 02:02:32,854
You okay, Dad?
1391
02:02:32,954 --> 02:02:37,725
Hey, I'm sorry.
I... I'm sorry, boys.
1392
02:02:39,794 --> 02:02:41,829
You shouldn't see me
like this.
1393
02:02:42,429 --> 02:02:44,131
A man doesn't cry.
1394
02:02:45,933 --> 02:02:46,968
I'm sorry, boys.
1395
02:02:47,068 --> 02:02:50,503
It's okay, Dad. You can cry.
Everyone cries.
1396
02:02:50,605 --> 02:02:53,808
Yeah. What are you
talking about?
We cry all the time.
1397
02:02:57,578 --> 02:02:59,747
Do you think you know
why you're sad?
1398
02:03:05,119 --> 02:03:08,723
Well, I guess it's because
1399
02:03:09,389 --> 02:03:11,058
I used to be a brother
1400
02:03:11,926 --> 02:03:13,393
and, uh...
1401
02:03:14,394 --> 02:03:16,097
and now
I'm not a brother anymore.
1402
02:03:17,031 --> 02:03:20,668
Oh, well.
We'll be your brothers, Dad.
1403
02:03:20,768 --> 02:03:23,037
Yeah, Dad.
We'll be your brothers.
1404
02:03:27,708 --> 02:03:29,844
Oh.
Thank you, boys.
1405
02:03:29,944 --> 02:03:31,411
Thank you.
1406
02:03:33,381 --> 02:03:34,315
Thank you.
1407
02:03:47,161 --> 02:03:50,064
All right. Thank you, boys.
