The headgear WAS in fact because of the hair. I remember because I lived in Dallas at the time, and I was a Sportatorium regular. I kept up with ALL the storylines. So the Iceman/Roberts hair feud was the legit reason.

yeah i never understood the boxing headgear either, and you could see he had some hair underneath it, so i dont know what its purpose was. I had forgotten all about the Super D's until I watched the DVD. and hell, if i had known they sold it at Best Buy, I would have bought it there. Instead I ordered it on ebay and the seller took like a month just to send it out. David Von Erich was the man! I never saw too much of him because I was just a little kid when he died, I remember the fued with Garvin, but looking back on this now, you really see how important he was to the promotion, and how out of all the Von Erich kids, he was the best mic worker, and even though he didnt have the best physique (compared to kevin and kerry) he was probably the one that was destined for the most fame and noteriety Yeah, I was impressed with David. Is it true he worked as a heel in St. Louis for a little while?

What's on the second disc? a shoot video interview with jim cornette from ROH. heroes of world class promotional trailer. monday night mayhem audio interviews with brian harrison and bill mercer, and mickey grant. PW torch audio segments about heroes of world class. there are some deleted scenes on disc 1 which are pretty good.

Some parts were really shocking & sad, Kevin Von Erich has to be one of the men I respect most in all Wrestling, it was shocking when he told how his Dad put the same gun that Kerry used on himself to his head. I felt sorry for Kev but then he said "Don't feel sorry for me, I've had a great life". Another quote from Kevin "Once I had 4 brothers & now I'm not even a brother". I have this DVD and it is one of the best DVDs I have ever seen. Highly recommend it. As far as Kevin goes I think he is a jerkoff. This was written by Harry Simon during his Von Erich rating system. "You see, kevin is, and I'm being kind here, a scumbag. Listen to this story and tell me if you don't agree. When Kerry died in 1992, a memorial card was thrown together in Texas, with the proceeds going to the two daughters Kerry left behind. The main event was scheduled to be kevin & Chris Adams vs. Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts. The promoter of the show told the boys that he would cover any other bookings they had for the evening. So the night of the show rolls around, and kevin goes to the promoter and holds him up for $2,000, claiming that he could have made that much at a different show in Alabama. That's right, kevin HELD UP THE PROMOTER AT A BENEFIT SHOW FOR HIS OWN NIECES. And he's the one that lived."
