David Von Erich

In November 1979, David made his first and only appearance in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), competing on a card against Davey O'Hannon at Madison Square Garden.

On July 4, 1983, Von Erich began a feud with "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), which culminated with David defeating him in a match. As a result of David's victory, Garvin and his valet Sunshine were forced to serve as David's valets for a day, with the results of the day being broadcast on the WCCW weekly show.

David took part in many matches against the Fabulous Freebirds in 1983 and early 1984. Notable bouts include David versus Terry Gordy in a Handcuff Match on April 1, 1983 at "Wrestling Star Wars", David, Kevin and Kerry defeating the Freebirds on July 4, 1983 in Ft. Worth at "Star Wars" and, what would be David's next-to-last match was against Terry Gordy on February 3, 1984.

On February 10, 1984, Von Erich passed away.

In 2009, David (along with his brothers and father Fritz) was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
