Revisiting American Pickers Rob Wolfe and Frank Fritz ‘feud rumors’ after death
Revisiting American Pickers Rob Wolfe and Frank Fritz ‘feud rumors’ after death
Were Frank Fritz and the American Pickers cast feuding before his death? A look back at the rumors.
American Pickers’ Frank Fritz died in September 2024, but contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t engaged in a feud with his former co-stars.
The show, which is hitting the road again for new episodes just months after his death, has been blamed for “scripted clashes” between Frank and Mike Wolfe, but fans were still convinced they may have been real.
Now, as Mike reflects on loss and new beginnings, some are still wondering what the real story was between him and Frank.
However, despite the claims they had been feuding, Mike’s brother, Rob, said something differently after Frank’s death.
He quickly put the rumors to rest, admitting that while Frank had left the show years before his death, things were still good between him and the rest of the cast before he died.
Prior to Frank’s death, Mike’s brother, Rob Wolfe, spoke to the Daily Mail, saying that there wasn’t any bad blood between Mike and Frank.
“We’re in contact with him,” he said at the time. “The crew and I go up and see him.”
“It’s kind of hard to talk about Frank in general, because he can’t really talk about it for himself,” he continued. “My brother sees him more than I do.”
His comment came after Frank and Mike had a public feud in 2020, after it was said that Frank no longer fit in the show’s “big picture.”
Frank himself said that he hadn’t stayed in contact with Mike or talked to him in two years.

“He knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing,” he said at the time. “That’s just how it is. The show is tilted towards him 1,000 percent. I can’t even bend that far down to show you how much.”
“That’s fine. It’s like you’ve got Aerosmith and there’s Steven Tyler and he’s the front man. I found my spot, I’m second and he’s number one on the show.”
“That’s no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem.”
