KEVIN VON ERICH: The Legend of Texas Wrestling is the powerful, deeply human story of a man born into a dynasty - and destined to carry its name through triumph and tragedy.
As the barefoot warrior who helped define World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980s, Kevin Von Erich captivated fans with his fearless athleticism, quiet strength, and unwavering loyalty to his family. But behind the roar of the crowds and the bright lights of the ring lay a story far more personal: a journey through loss, faith, and ultimate resilience.
Written with compassion and insight by Shirley S. Kelley, this compelling biography traces Kevin's path from the heart of Texas to a life of reflection and healing in Hawaii. Through championships, heartbreak, and survival, Kevin emerges not just as a wrestling icon, but as a symbol of enduring hope.
A tribute to family, faith, and the enduring spirit of Texas wrestling, this is the definitive portrait of Kevin Von Erich - the last son standing.
