I saw this story on a website and had to laugh because we saw it countless times at the Louisville Gardens when talking to some wrestlers. God, I wish it was still "real" (although in Louisville circa 1995, you may be hard pressed to find someone who didn't believe!!!)
So thanks to a friend of mine (thanks B.P.!) I recently got my hands on some old Observers going back to the mid-80's. I was looking at the April '84 issue, which was discussing the death of David Von Erich, and all of the hysteria surrounding his death and funeral with the fans (primarily the female fans) in the Dallas and North Texas area. So somehow, sandwiched in amongst all of this, is this piece about how crazed the female fans are about all of the Von Erich boys, and in particular Kerry.
The article discusses Kerry's habit of walking to the ring at the Sportatorium to Rush's "Tom Sawyer", and how when he gets to ringside, he always picks a girl out and kisses her. So the article talks with this Dallas area woman who would watch this happen on a weekly basis who decided to go to the arena with her daughter (!!??) and by God get a kiss from Kerry Von Erich, wrestling superstar and sex symbol--to the woman and her daughter--which, just seems a tad creepy.
Anyway, so the woman and her daughter (didn't say how old) go to what basically amounts to the "kay fabe parking lot" where the wrestlers park their cars and wait for Kerry...along with, according to the article, about 30 other women. So here comes Kerry, and he parks his car, gets out, slides across the hood of the car, holds out his arms and says:
"Look at all the beautiful ladies!"
At this point, apparently all the women rush in and Kerry begins giving each one a kiss. So the woman in the story, the one with the daughter, mentions that she is waiting patiently for her turn at kissing the Modern Day Warrior, and finally its her turn...and Kerry gives her what is, apparently, a pretty passionate kiss (must have been halfway decent looking). Anyway, the woman recounts how...as she is being kissed, she notices that....well, let's just say that it seems that old Kerry had just finished a bag of Dorito's before arriving to the building. And as Kerry pulls away, the woman is noticing that her mouth now tastes like a bag of Dorito's. And she is quoted as saying:
"That was the best Dorito's I have had."
