* JerkassWoobie: There are stories of Fritz being emotionally abusive to his sons and forcing them to wrestle (though Kevin denies this) and Kevin once said that his father told him that he was only alive because he wasn't man enough to kill himself like his brothers had. That said, he watched almost all of his sons die, was divorced from his wife, and witnessed the collapse of his promotion, not to mention he had to live with the brain cancer that eventually killed him. It's likely that he didn't really mean what he said to Kevin, and that these were the words of an old, tired, and broken man, consumed by anger and grief. Kevin would even state that he was glad he was dead as his father wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

** Chris wanted nothing more than to follow in his family's footsteps, but his size and being prone to injury meant he never really had a chance of making it in the industry. After the death of his brother Mike, Chris ended his own life at the tragically young age of 21.

Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementScrappy: Downplayed in regards to Kerry winning the NWA World Championship from Wrestling/RicFlair. While it was an overall good moment for him, the Von Erich Family, and fans in general and it was beyond their control for [[DiedDuringProduction obvious reasons]], many believed that it should've been David winning the belt. It didn't help that Kerry had developed a reputation of being unreliable which resulted in his title reign being CutShort.

* MisBlamed: Partially, in the case of Lacey. She was ''never actually trained to wrestle'' and although she shares the blame for actually agreeing to do it, it was the bookers who put her in the ring because she was attractive and part of a famous wrestling family regardless of her lack of training.

Also, as detained in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_zT5gJdAnw [=MarkyD's=] review]] of Lacey's TNA run, she was trying to improve her wrestling skills, and despite having a ton of room for improvement, she ''was'' getting better, and she was beginning to get some regard from the fans when she abruptly quit.
