Ross and Marshall Von Erich talk choosing MLW over WWE, family legacy, and “Dark Side of the Ring” special

Third-generation stars Ross and Marshall reveal what brought them to MLW, how they plan to honor their family’s legacy, wrestling all over the world, and much more.

It’s an incredibly exciting time for wrestling fans and wrestlers alike, especially with there being so many viable alternatives to WWE out there. AEW, ROH and IMPACT all come to mind, but one of the most consistently entertaining promotions week after week is Major League Wrestling (MLW).

Since their grand relaunch in 2017, MLW has boasted a super star-studded roster, and in May 2019, they added the illustrious likes of Ross and Marshall Von Erich to their ranks. The up-and-coming Von Erich family scions have been bright prospects for several years and are ready to make their mark in MLW.

Ross and Marshall debuted for MLW at Fury Road on June 1 and teamed with MLW World Heavyweight champion Tom Lawlor in a victorious effort against CONTRA Unit. Their post-match brawl with the dangerous faction set the stage for the two teams to clash again at Kings of Colosseum in Chicago on Saturday, July 6.

Daily DDT spoke with the Von Erich brothers ahead of the highly anticipated event to discuss their decision to sign with MLW, skipping out on a WWE tryout, appearing on Viceland’s Dark Side of the Ring, and much more.
