Its not quite a documentary, more a biopic (like the Elvis movie or Bohemian Rhapsody) but, reality is actually even sadder...there was a 6th brother... So, Jack Jr passed when he was 6, in 1959. Only look up what exactly happened to him if you're mentally prepared... The others David (d.1984), Mike (d.1987), Kerry (d.1993) happened pretty much as it was shown. Chris, the 6th brother, passed away in 1991. Davids funeral in Texas was a huge deal...the Von Erichs were very popular there and it's true that Kerry wrestled for him against Rick Flair - who was the only casting choice here I think wasn't very good - but he was so notoriously unreliable that he lost the belt back to Flair two weeks later. Kerry really did wear a prosthetic to wrestle (though, it wasnt his entire foot he lost, he still had his heel, but still!) And really hid it for years. Folks suspected something was up because he'd reportedly shower with his boots on in locker rooms but the public didn't know for sure until his death in '93. So, it really was just...a terrible tragedy. Kevin really is the only Von Erich brother still alive and he's doing fantastically well by all appearances. He also, reportedly, enjoyed the movie. Though, he did take issue with the harsh portrayal of his father, its hard to argue that he was wholly innocent either. If you want to know more, the wrestling docuseries "The Dark Side of the Ring" did an episode on the Von Erichs, and you'll get as much of the real story as it's publicly known from that! Thanks for the reaction, Josh!
