He adopted the name Fritz Von Erich (Fritz being a family name and Erich being his mothers maiden name) and set out to become one of the most hated heels in the sport - his success was immediate.

After a dispute arose among NWA promoters, Fritz established World Class Championship Wrestling which he headquartered in Dallas. His choice for featured performers were easy to find - he used his own family. He had six sons. The oldest son Jack died at age seven when he was electrocuted by an electric fence on the family farm - this would seem to be a shadow of things to come. All of his other sons would eventually make their way into the wrestling Ring, winning championships across the United States and in Japan. In the midst of this success, the Von Erich curse arose. He was also very committed to his family and struggled to find answers to the tragedies through which his family suffered. Although very succesful, he was often blamed for the demise of his sons. Fritz divorced and spent the remainder of his life in sadness. He died on September 10, 1997.
