During Friday night’s ROH Final Battle 2023 ‘Zero Hour” kickoff show, The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall) made their ROH debut, scoring a victory over The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) in tag team action.
The Von Erichs also teamed with Orange Cassidy, defeating Daddy Magic, Cool Hand Ang, and Jake Hager in a six-man tag team match on Friday night’s episode of AEW Rampage.
During the post-ROH Final Battle 2023 media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan discussed bringing in The Von Erichs for the two shows and whether fans will see them in AEW/ROH again.
You can check out some highlights from the media scrum below:
On bringing in The Von Erichs for this week’s shows: “I was really interested in the Von Erichs and using them. I think they had a representative months ago reach out to Sonjay, and Sonjay called me and said, ‘Would you have interest in the Von Erichs in Dallas?’ I said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ I think the timing with Iron Claw would work out well for everybody and it would make sense. We have a presence in that movie, MJF is an executive producer, MJF and Ryan Nemeth are in the film as actors. We also have a partnership with Warner Brothers Discovery and they have a partnership with A24. There was a lot of reasons why I thought they collaboration would make sense, but the biggest reason is, Dallas Metroplex is Von Erich country, this is their territory. When I saw them, the first thing I said to Kevin Von Erich was, ‘Thank you for letting us do the show in your territory.’ It was really great working with Ross and Marshall these last few days, and they’re going to be back with us tomorrow. It’s been tremendous having them the whole week. I really liked getting them out there. I tried to set them up to succeed and they’re two for two. I wanted to give them opponents that were perfect opponents for them. I think they did great on Rampage and on ROH.”
On if he has any plans to use them again: “I would love to use them again in the future, not only exclusively in Dallas. They are tremendous, Ross and Marshall it was my first time working with them and they did a great job. Kevin is tremendous. It was something I wanted to do and I’m glad they reached out. When Sonjay called me and said, ‘would you have interest in the Von Erichs in Dallas,’ I said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’”
