Yep Kevin.
I have heard from more than one source that after attending a benefit promoted by one of Kerry’s friends to raise funds for Kerry’s children Kevin charged a $3000.00 appearance fee. If true it is sad, if not it is sad that I believe it.
Wrestling is wrestling, but family is family. This my sound hypocritical to my friends as I have not had contact with my family for many years, but the Eakers never claimed to be close knit.
The Von Erichs (actually Adkisson) did.
One of my fondest memories is of my wheelchair bound grandmother getting in a lather about the “rasslers” not being fair in the late 60s and 70’s (I remember Wahoo, Haystack, Ernie “The Big Cat” Ladd and others)
There were many times I thought she would get out of that chair and give them “what for” herself.
I am glad she cannot see what the business has become, and often long for those simpler times.
I know what you’re saying. I’d like to say I’m shocked. But I’d be lying if I did.
And no it’s not hypocritical. Haven’t been in contact with the family I grew up with since the ‘80’s. We never pretended to be The Brady Bunch either.
