WWE: Bizarre real-life stories of WWE wrestlers

Waldo Von Erich and Lance Von Erich

Waldo Von Erich

When you think about the Von Erich family, the first word that comes to your mind is ‘tragedy’. And why shouldn’t it, after all, not every family has three men who commit suicide in the span of six years.

Nonetheless, Von Erichs, Adkisson in real life, had been very successful inside the three ropes. WWE, sly that they are, decided to bank upon the name and fame of Von Erichs. WWE introduced a father and son duo of Waldo Von Erich and Lance Von Erich.

Both of these wrestlers were, obviously, not Von Erichs, but neither were they a real life father and son duo.

Waldo Von Erich was, in reality, Walt Siebler from Canada and Lance Von Erich was none other than William Kevin Vaughn of Dallas.

No wonder these two members of the Von Erich family were able to defy all tragedies their ‘so-called’ family faced.
