In the resurgence of interest sparked by the A24 production, “The Iron Claw,” surrounding the renowned Von Erich family, the current generation members of the Von Erich dynasty are steadfast in ensuring the perpetuation of their family’s esteemed legacy. Ross and Marshall Von Erich engaged in a dialogue with “Busted Open Radio,” shedding light on the formidable challenges associated with upholding an iconic family name.
Navigating the intricate landscape of being a Von Erich comes with its share of complexities. Marshall elucidated, “It’s undeniably challenging to bear the Von Erich name; there’s a misconception that we strive to outshine our family, but we’re merely playing the cards we’ve been dealt. Our goal is to make our father and family proud in the process.”
Despite having their father, Kevin, to guide them through the initial phases of their wrestling journey, breaking into the wrestling business proved to be a formidable task for the third-generation stars.
“Wrestling has been a relentless adversary, quick to humble you,” remarked Ross. “While the public witnesses the zenith of our careers, they remain oblivious to the moments spent scrubbing the dojo floors in Japan.” According to Ross, the brothers grappled with doubts about their commitment to wrestling due to the myriad challenges they faced, yet they tenaciously endured.
The Von Erich siblings are presently in the midst of transitioning into free agency, following the expiration of their contract with MLW on May 1st. Garnering recognition as MLW Tag Team Champions for an impressive 438 days from 2019 to 2021, the duo is set to make a significant appearance on “AEW Dynamite” alongside their father, Kevin, in their hometown of Dallas, TX. This marks the inaugural appearance of the Von Erich family on AEW, underscoring a momentous occasion for the wrestling enthusiasts.
