Kerry Von Erich, outside of Sting, was my favorite wrestler when I was a kid. The guy was awesome. I remember my mom being absolutely in love with him, like pretty much any woman who saw him at the time. I think her being literally the only wrestler she gave a damn about played a small part in me liking him so much, but to this day when I watch Kerry, I get this great nostalgic feeling. He meant the World to me when I was young and I was devastated when he passed away.

I got to see him wrestle at a WWF house show, and outside of Hogan vs. Earthquake, he's the one thing I honestly remember about the show. He wrestled Dino Bravo and he was the only guy I truly marked out for. For most of the show, I was miserable because everything was so damn loud and this wasn't long after me having ear surgery, so of course I had sensitive ears as it was. But I remember the Texas Tornado being the one guy that made me forget about it all and just enjoy his presence.

Anyway, to answer the question, what could he have been? I would like to think he could've been a WWF World Champion and a huge draw for the company. A part of me actually believes that that would've be a possibility, but looking at it now and realistically, overall, I think he would've had a run similar to someone like Jake Roberts had in the late eighties. You know, a hugely over mid-card babyface who was fed to new heels to see if the heel had any potential to draw with Hogan or another World Champion. While Kerry was a tremendous athlete, had an unbelievable look, and was charismatic as hell, he wasn't a great promo cutter and at the time Kerry was around I think Vince wouldn't have put his company in the hands of someone who couldn't talk well on the mic.
