AboutDave Wolf Expertise Hi everyone. I am 32 years old, and have been a wrestling fan ever since I can remember. My earliest memories of pro wrestling come from the old AWA back in the early 1980's. At the time, the AWA was the only wrestling I got on TV, but that soon expanded to the WWF(WWE)and NWA(WCW), and even World Class Championship Wrestling for a while.
I feel I have a good knowledge of wrestling and can help you out with pretty much any question you have. If I don't know the answer off hand, I am not afraid to do a little research, whether it be through the internet, or from other various personal resources I have. I am proud of the fact that I am rapidly approaching 1000 questions answered, which is the most in the pro wrestling category.
So if you have a question about something, feel free to ask. However, due the number of questions I've answered regarding this subject, I am asking that you please refrain from asking questions regarding pro wrestling schools and how to get into pro wrestling. It's a good question, but it does get a little old answering the same question over and over again. As an alternative to asking this question, please see my previous answers.
I check my email pretty much everyday, so most of my questions are answered within 24 hours, if not much earlier.
Experience I don't have any first hand experience in the world of pro wrestling, but I have been a fan for as long as I can remember, and spend a lot of time reading up on the subject, whether it be from magazines, books, dirt sheets, or websites.

Question QUESTION: Whatever happened to David's wife Trica? and Kerry's ex-wife and his kids.
ANSWER: Hi Lyndie. Thanks for the question.
I honestly have no idea what happened to David's wife & Kerry's ex-wife. I heard a blurb many years ago about Tricia, but that only said she was still living in the Dallas area. I haven't heard anything about Kerry's ex-wife since he passed away.
Kerry had two daughter, Lacey & Hollie. Lacey has actually started wrestling, and was even working at WWE's developmental league, although she was eventually released. She has/is wrestling on the independent scene. She does have a MySpace page, and just doing a search of her name will get a lot of results. I haven't heard a whole lot about Hollie, so I don't know what she's doing. I have seen a few pictures of her on a couple of Von Erich themed websites, although I don't remember what they are offhand. Again, you should be able to do a search and find some pictures of her. Not that it matters, but both Hollie & Lacey are very attractive young women.
Thanks again for the question. Let me know if you have anything else.
Have a great night!
Dave

QUESTION: i WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET A COPY OF THE DVD FADED GLORY THE VON ERICH STORY I HAVE SEEN EXCERPTS & I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET ONE. IF ANYONE KNOWS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS LYNDIE
ANSWER: Hi Lyndie
I don't know anyplace offhand that sells it. I remember watching it online when it first came out, but that was several years ago.
I don't know if you've checked eBay or not, as you never know what you'll find on there.
I'll keep it in mind and I'll send you a follow-up if I run across it.

QUESTION: I was on a website called kayfabememories and some one ask a question about david and mike von erich they said that mike had a wife and fritz didn't think she was von erich material so he did not like her, also that david and trica had a baby girl that died of crib death and that their marriage was on the rocks at the time of his death. I have never heard any of this is there any truth to any of it. thanks Lyndie
Answer Hi Lyndie.
I've heard that David's marriage was on the rocks at some point, although I can't really confirm it. It wouldn't surprise me, as the Von Erich brothers had a reputation of not exactly being faithful to their wives/girlfriends.
Yes, David did have an infant daughter that died about 5 years before his own death.
As far as Mike's wife goes, I've heard the same rumors that Fritz didn't necessarily like her, but I don't really know for sure.
Also just a quick follow-up about Kerry's ex-wfe: it turns out she married Shaun Simpson, if you remember him. He wrestled for World Class, along with his brother Steve.
