That Ric Flair, he’s a tough one, I tell ya. And that Kevin Von Erich, bless his heart, he’s a good boy, strong as an ox. I seen ’em wrestle, oh, it musta been years ago now. Back when folks still cared ’bout that kinda thing. They was somethin’ else, them two. Always goin’ at it, like two tomcats in a sack.
This one time, Ric Flair, he was the champion. Had that shiny belt, all fancy-like. And Kevin Von Erich, he wanted it. Oh, he wanted it bad. They had this match, I remember it clear as day. Lots of folks watchin’. Ric Flair vs Kevin Von Erich, that’s what they called it. Everyone was yellin’ and screamin’, you couldn’t hear yourself think. And they is just throwin’ themselves at each other.

Now, Ric Flair, he’s a sneaky one. Always playin’ dirty, pullin’ hair, pokin’ eyes, you name it. That’s just how he is. But Kevin, he’s a good boy, like I said. He don’t play like that. He just wants to wrestle fair and square. But Ric, he just keeps on with his tricks. And Kevin is startin’ to get mad.
And you can see it in his eyes, he’s had enough. He’s gonna snap, you just know it. And then, BAM! He loses it. Just goes wild on Ric Flair. Throws him around like a rag doll. The referee, he’s tryin’ to stop him, but Kevin, he ain’t listenin’. He just wants to smash up that Ric Flair. They is so mad, the audience are so excited.
- Ric Flair, he’s the champion.
- Kevin Von Erich, he wants the belt.
- Ric Flair, he’s a dirty fighter.
- Kevin Von Erich, he’s a good boy, fights fair.
- Kevin, he gets mad, real mad.
Then they called the match over, cause Kevin, he done somethin’ he weren’t supposed to do. Disqualified, they said. He didn’t even care that he was a DQ. He just wanted to hurt Ric Flair. That’s why Ric Flair vs Kevin Von Erich is so famous. It weren’t right, but that’s what happened. Some folks said it weren’t planned that way, that Kevin, he just lost his temper for real. I don’t know ’bout all that. I just know it was a sight to see. And I seen a lot of fights in my day, let me tell you.
They had other matches, Ric Flair and Kevin Von Erich. Always the same. Ric playin’ dirty, Kevin tryin’ to be good. But folks remember that one match, the one where Kevin just lost it. That’s the one they talk about. Cause it was just so…wild. Like nothin’ you ever seen before. Everyone want to see the Ric Flair vs Kevin Von Erich fight.

Ric Flair, he had a long, long time in wrestlin’. Wrestled for more years than I can count. All over the place, too. Even went to that Memphis place, I heard. He’s an old man now, like me. But back then, he was somethin’. A real showman, that one. Always stirrin’ up trouble. And folks loved him for it. Or hated him. Depends on who you ask. He wrestled everybody, that Ric Flair. He is the greatest wrestler, some folks say.
And Kevin Von Erich, he was part of that Von Erich family. A whole bunch of ’em, all wrestlers. Strong boys, every one of ’em. But they had a lot of sadness in that family, too. More than their share, I reckon. But Kevin, he kept on wrestlin’. He was a good one. One of the most famous Ric Flair vs Kevin Von Erich fight is that one they said Kerry Von Erich made history. Kerry is Kevin’s brother, such a poor family. But Kerry is so strong and he became the youngest champion. That makes Kevin so proud, they always love each other.
That’s all I know about Ric Flair vs Kevin Von Erich. It was a long time ago. But I remember it like it was yesterday. That one time, they just went at it. And that time, poor Kevin. That’s how things were back then. Wild and crazy. But you know what? It was sure somethin’ to watch. And I wouldn’t trade those memories for nothin’. Not for all the tea in China. It’s a good story, people will always talk about it.
