Marshall on the Von Erich legacy in wrestling: “Obviously [it’s hard to be a Von Erich], you have people thinking that you’re trying to be better than your family but we’re just playing the hand we’re dealt. We’re just trying to make my father proud and my family proud.”

Ross on coming into the business as third-generation stars: “Wrestling has kicked our ass and it’ll humble you real quick. People see the high points of our career but they don’t see scrubbing piss off the dojo in Japan.”
