The Von Erichs celebrate their successful AEW debut.
On the December 15 episode of AEW Rampage, The Von Erichs (Marshall and Ross Von Erich) made their AEW in-ring debut; they teamed up with Orange Cassidy to defeat Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, and Jake Hager. Their father, Kevin Von Erich, made the save when Hager, Menard, and Parker attacked them after the bell.
On Twitter/X, AEW shared backstage footage of The Von Erichs discussing their AEW in-ring debut.
Kevin Von Erich: Oh man, [there’s] just no place like home.
Ross Von Erich: Man, we couldn’t have asked for a better reception on a grand stage here at AEW. We’re speechless right now. The fans, being out there with my brother and my dad, it was amazing. Incredible.
Marshall Von Erich: As we took this wrestling journey, my brother and I have gotten closer as brothers, but we’ve related with my dad at a different scale. The same towns, the same roads, it’s crazy how this is all coming. This almost like felt like Dallas, grand scale, nothing’s bigger than AEW, like the torch was passing. It was a beautiful moment, and I’ll remember this for the rest of my life.
KVE: So proud of you. What a great night.
Marshall and Ross then highlighted their father's support, and Kevin noted that he never doubted his sons.
MVE: Our father’s taught us everything that we know. Him being wrestling in line at Walmart as kids, we were always wrestling, got each other in holds. He’s an amazing, great wrestler, but he’s an even better father. This man taught me every I know. He’s teaching me how to be a father now.
RVE: The one man that believed in us the whole time, and he called it from a young age.
KVE: Never doubted it.
Ross and Marshall looked forward to the future, as Ross said he was hopeful they would have more moments like that. Marshall stated that the future was bright. He pointed to "The Iron Claw" and stated that the movie would make fans want to learn more about their father and his story. Ros stated that they wanted to win titles for him one day.
RVE: Hopefully more feelings and moments like this.
MVE: The future is bright. We 100% believe the Von Erich name, when you see this movie [The Iron Claw], there’s a reason this movie happened. People are gonna Google my father, this man that’s seen everything, has lost everything, and they’re gonna say, ‘Where is his life at now? Is he happy?’ They can confidently say yes, and his sons are following their footsteps, and we’re successful.
RVE: They’re surrounded by people that love them, his family, and one day we’re gonna bring belts and say, ‘Here you go, dad.’
KVE: So great to come to Texas. We do everything hard in Texas. We hit hard, we fight hard, we claw hard. It’s a great night
