Fresh off AEW’s biggest U.S. event, All In Texas, AntMan sits down with Ross and Marshall Von Erich to break down the unforgettable weekend both in and out of the ring. The guys kick things off by sharing some classic Von Erich family antics from their road trip with their dad, Kevin, swapping stories about spontaneous river swims and the chaos of having three generations working the same event. They recap the honor of opening Zero Hour in Arlington, reflecting on what it was like to perform in front of a packed stadium, the challenges of keeping up with production cues, and how the legendary Claw even required some last-minute training for the whole crew.

There’s also talk about what makes Tony Khan’s approach different for fans, the value AEW brings to its audience, and memories from the weekend—including Bill Goldberg’s memorable showdown and how he’s evolved inside and outside the ring.
