Despite a life of misfortune, Kerry Von Erich had a great winning percentage
There is no story more tragic than that of the Von Erichs. The Texas Tornado, Kerry Von Erich, lost his leg in a motorcycle incident, wrestled with a prosthetic leg, and committed suicide with a gunshot to the heart. But if there’s a silver lining to be found in this sad story, it is that during his run, he suffered few losses. In fact, through his long Intercontinental Championship reign and thereafter, Kerry Von Erich was only pinned a few times.
His winning percentage, after 70 matches was 82.85%. Rest in peace, Texas Tornado.
