	Athletes - Chris Von Erich

Chris Adkisson (September 30, 1969 - September 12, 1991) was an American professional wrestler, best known the ring name 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 often break them from performing simple wrestling maneuvers. He stayed with it as much as he could, and even had a small feud with Percy Pringle in the USWA.

Frustrated and depressed with his inability to excel in the wrestling business, Chris committed suicide on September 12, 1991 at the age of 21.
