This isn’t a wrestling story.It’s a story about you.About the expectations others place on us.The roles we’re told to play.And the emotions we bury just to keep going.In this episode of The Shadows Podcast, we take a powerful, emotionally intelligent look at the legacy of the Von Erich family—not through the lens of tragedy, but through the pressure of persona.We explore:The danger of conditional love and performance-based identityEmotional suppression passed through generationsWhat happens when your title becomes your entire identityWhy vulnerability is strength—not a flaw to hideThis isn’t about wrestling.It’s about what we carry.And who we’re allowed to be when we finally put the persona down.⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses suicide and emotional trauma.
