Its a tricky one because as you said for a lot of us it is before our time, I have read about it though in the past and with hindsight its easy to say these things could of been prevented, but considering how many deaths there have been since, a bigger question would be why this family tragedy didn't manage to transform the business. (In a positive manner) I think you highlighting how it was in the mainstream "WWF" is probably why it didn't have a profound effect like the Benoit incident has.
Aside from reading about them the only one I EVER saw wrestling was Kerry Von Erich in the WWF as Texas Tornado, I always enjoyed watching his matches on old VHS tapes his theme music was a winner to, he clearly had a wealth of potential, I think the match that I remember most is his IC Title win over Mr. Perfect, and cool as it was to see him win I remember it being surprisingly a bit meh. (Wikipedia'd it, it only went 5 minutes, that explains it).
