Fritz Von Erich and Joe Blanchard ended up being in a promotional war. Blanchard broke away from Fritz, before that he was a local promoter for him. I think part, but not all, of it had to do with Fritz wanting to push his kids who were coming into the business then. Fritz Von Erich wasn't at all shy about doing what he thought was best for Fritz Von Erich. Of course Blanchard later got his show on the USA network, which ended up being the ruin of him financially, and that's what got the WWF on USA...Look how that all turned out!! Heh...
