Kevin Von Erich discusses his sons getting into wrestling.
Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich have followed in the footsteps of their father, Kevin, joining the ranks of professional wrestling.
"My sons are just tickled to death to be wrestlers. I tried to talk them out of it, believe me," Kevin told Fox25. "I tired to talk them out of it. We were on the beach years ago and I said, 'Do you really want to be like this? Do you see how they live? I used to be a high jumper and loved to run. Now, I just can't do it.' They look at me politely, 'Yes sir, dad.' They were just like my brothers and I were. My dad didn't want us to wrestle. My dad wanted us to be scientists or doctors. We wanted to be like our dad. I wanted to be just like him and that's just how it is. My sons are like that, too. It's like trying to stop the Gulf of Mexico with a fork. You can't do it."
The Von Erichs aligned with Dustin Rhodes on AEW Collision, and will be featured throughout AEW's stay at the eSports arena in Arlington, Texas.
