Timeline
Michael Brett Adkisson (March 2, 1964 – April 12, 1987) was an American professional wrestler under the ring name Mike Von Erich.
His four brothers, David, Kerry, Kevin and Chris, also wrestled.
He was the son of longtime Texas wrestler and wrestling promoter Fritz Von Erich and a member of the Von Erich family.
Mike had five brothers: David, Kerry, Kevin, Jack and Chris.
His father, longtime Texas wrestler and wrestling promoter, Fritz Von Erich, trained all his sons in professional wrestling.
Instead, he wanted to work for his father's company, World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), as a cameraman.
He knew how to play the guitar and wanted to be a musician.
Mike made his debut on November 24, 1983, winning a match against Skandor Akbar during "WCCW Wrestling Star Wars" at the Reunion Arena.
He was then involved in several encounters with The Freebirds.
Von Erich and Michael Hayes brawled on October 17, 1983, in Ft. Worth, after Hayes ripped a jacket given to Mike by his brother Kerry.
Mike teamed up with his brother Kevin against Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts on December 25, 1983.
The only time Mike ever teamed up with his brother David was in January 1984 when, along with Kerry, they battled the Freebirds.
Mike took David's place teaming with Kerry after David's death in February 1984.
Mike was married on February 14, 1985, to Shani Garza.
He was a born-again Christian.
He underwent shoulder surgery on August 22, 1985, due to an injury suffered during a wrestling tour of Israel.
He was released from the hospital but later he developed a fever of 107 F. He was later diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome.
He suffered some brain damage as a result of his illness and lost a great deal of weight.
WCCW tried to give Mike a feud of his own against Brian Adias in October 1986, since Kerry was out of wrestling with an ankle injury.
In 1986, he suffered head injuries from a car accident in which his vehicle overturned after he lost control.
In addition, Kevin cited an incident in which Mike attacked a streetlight in frustration over his current condition.
Kevin once said that Mike also suffered from the pressure of having to "be David" after his brother's death.
Since the beginning of his career, the pressure was on for Mike to succeed on the same level as his brothers.
Mike and Adias were to battle in a match at Parade of Champions on May 3, 1987, but Mike died on April 12 of that year.
His final match took place at the Sportatorium on April 3, 1987, against Mike Williams.
While wrestling for World Class, Mike ventured to Japan for the first and only time in his career, to wrestle for New Japan Pro-Wrestling in January 1987, during their New Year Dash series tour.
Even though he didn't wrestle for very long on that tour, Mike had a strong encounter with then IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Shiro Koshinaka, facing him on January 3, in a losing effort.
He also teamed with fellow foreigners such as Tony St. Clair, Black Bart, Konga The Barbarian and The Cuban Assassin against the likes of Antonio Inoki, Tatsumi Fujinami, Osamu Kido and Yoshiaki Fujiwara.
However, he also enjoyed some success in it, scoring victories against veteran Kantaro Hoshino, young lion Shunji Kosugi and South Korean wrestler Kim Su Hong.
After wrestling for 10 days in their tour, Mike returned home to America.
