“We’re able to continue the legacy,” Marshall added. “It’s humbling, we’re honored, and it’s the perfect timing—we’ve never been this ready for this big a stage before.”

The brothers claim they’ve turned down a tryout at the WWE Performance Center in lieu of signing with MLW because they want to be at home more with their father Kevin Von Erich.

MLW CEO Court Bauer, the multi-year deal allows Ross and Marshall Von Erich the ability to also work in Israel and for Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan.
