Kerry, Kevin & David were an awesome working trio. I think Kerry was genuinely great and though I'm not willing to call him great, I fucking love prime Kevin Von Erich. David is fine in tag settings. The Jumping Knee is one of my favorite moves in wrestling & that was one of David's regular spots so he worked for me at least on that level. Of course the heat for their peak runs were outrageous. On the level of anything, including 80s AJW. They came across violent, stiff & out of control (probably because they were) so a lot of their matches felt like they might go off the rails at any moment. Tons of great matches in tags against Feebirds, Gino & Chris Adams, their big singles matches against various NWA champs or their tag rivals. The Von Erichs were awesome.
If you want to include Fritz as part of the core group and lump his available footage in with the kids, they're even better because Fritz was awesome in the limited stuff I've seen.
