I believe adding Chris to the movie would've added even more to the story in a strong impactful way. Who cares if it makes it a longer runtime? This story deserves the long run time treatment

[troyprice]

You can tell, all he wanted was to be like his brothers and kinda disrespect to exclude him from his one chance to be held in the same light as his brothers.

[AdamPaul]

My wife and i found it disrespectful for the fact he wanted nothing more then to be a wrestler with his brother and they finally tell the story and just like in life he was left out and forgotten! God Bless Him… God Bless Them All… Von Erich’s FOREVER

It's a real shame they ignore him entirely. Who's story was more tragic than his? Right, none.

[MichaelMercy]

Thank you for remembering him. Rest in peace, Chris.

[afattori]

For me his death was the most tragic. He couldn’t measure up to his brothers or father. Fritz had their blood on his hands IMO.

[gdm]

Well done sir.

Its a dam shame chris wasnt big enough to be even mentioned in his own familys movie.

Its a slap in the face to his memory and i think the family.

[robertaustin]

Probably the most touching tribute to Chris I’ve seen in the days following the release of the film. No criticism here either but I appreciate you taking the time to share his story too.

Should've been a mini series on HBO or Netflix but I'm still excited for this in theaters.

I felt so bad for Chris. He wanted to be like his brothers so bad, but physically he just couldn't do it. His brothers seemed to have his back and tried to include him in everything as best they could, which I'm sure he appreciated. I remember him as a kid in the ring messing with Buddy Jack Roberts and being around the Von Erich brothers so yes he's definitely a big part of their legacy. It's a shame he decided to end his life, he seemed like a nice guy who just couldn't shake the disappointment of not being able to do what he loved so much. RIP Chris

I agree, they should have included Chris Von Erich in the movie.

They should've included Chris. Regardless of his wrestling experience and career, he was very much involved with his brothers.

Gone but not forgotten gone way too soon RIP Chris Von Erich 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I agree with not seeing the film. I grew up watching the Von Erichs. The fact that Jack Jr. Is mentioned and Chris is not. To me is totally disrespectful. Chris Von Erich's story is not only tragic but incredible. The added time to the film to add Chris in my opinion would have been worth it. Chris. You are not forgotten.

Great look at Chris and his contributions to the WCCW story. Respectful and well done. Thanks!

[baileyryan]

It really sucks they left him out of the movie because the one death i wanted to see since they showcased their deaths was his. I bet his would've been the more emotional one because it was kevin that found him. Kerry's death scene in the movie made me think of Chris

[thelordwapi]

Its funny how when he was alive, Chris felt left out and then a movie is made about the Von Erick family and Chris is left out of it once again.

If you could have had Mike and Chris switch bodies, I think both would
Have been happier:
Chris would have been the prowrestler he wanted to be and Mike would have been able to go into
Music like always wanted since he would have been ok
Never having to set foot in ring

[reneeleegreco]

Thank you for creating this ad I grew up watching all of these men. Yesterday I went to see the movie and it made me very upset to see him not pictured in the family portrait and movie. Disrespectful

[ninettaflores]

Thanks for this video as I was shocked that they left Chris out
