    Standing 6’4” and tipping the scales at a mammoth 640 pounds, the gargantuan hillbilly was one of the foremost drawing cards amidst the industry’s “Golden Age” of the 1950’s and 1960’s while sporting his trademark white T-shirt, blue overalls, and horseshoe necklace. The chief pioneer for the sport’s super-heavyweight attractions, William “Haystacks” Calhoun is #98 on the list of professional wrestling’s 100 Most Influential Figures.

    Yeah it sucks. Kerry was one of my favorites. Heck, I remember watching Fritz Von Erich and "the iron claw" back when I was a kid... and even when Ivan Putski came on the scene. I don't care much for it nowdays though. It used to be entertaining, now it's just plain stuipid.

    I saw Fritz Von Erich apply the "Iron Claw" at the old Sportatorium when I was 7 or 8 years old. After the matches I went down and got an autographed picture. Too bad about his kids. After Kerry killed himself and Fritz finally died his wife did a TV interview and basically blamed him for their deaths for being a crappy dad & pushing them all into wresting. A sad story. There is one surviving son (Kevin I think) & the family lives in my town somewhere but don't know where.

    Aren't they around the Denton area??? Really sucks about the way things turned out for that family. I can't believe they haven't been approached to make a movie about them yet...
