Chris Adkisson

Chris Adkisson (September 30, 1969 – September 12, 1991) was an American professional wrestler, best known by his stage name of Chris von Erich.

Career

The smallest and least athletic of the famous von Erich family, all Chris wanted to be was a wrestler. He was the youngest son of wrestler Fritz Von Erich. His brothers, Mike, David, Kerry and Kevin all had success as wrestlers. He grew up working cameras and doing other odd jobs backstage for WCCW.

He became a wrestler in 1990 but his bones were brittle and he would break an arm just from being bodyslammed. He stayed with it as much as he could and had a small feud with Percy Pringle in USWA. He committed suicide on September 12, 1991 at the age of 21.
