i recently learned about the von erich family and am so unbelievably intrigued by the fact that kerry von erich wrestled for years with a partially prosthetic foot. if there is anyone in this subreddit that has been following wrestling for 40+ years, i'm curious if there was any speculation that he may have had the amputation? were there rumors? knowing now that he had a prosthetic, it's easier to notice that his right boot appeared fuller. i know there's a story about his boot being pulled off during a match, but did word spread and did people believe it? or did it seem like a made up story since the von erichs were insistent that kerry was healed? thanks!
