On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Marshall Von Erich discussed his relationship with his grandfather, the late Fritz Von Erich.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his relationship with Fritz: “That’s a deep question. I love my grandfather so much. He’d pick me up and take me on the tractor and I’d spend time with him all the time.”
On how Fritz related to his grandkids: “He loved us grandchildren. We just saw him as a jolly, good-time, fun grandpa. The man I look up to the most, he’s [his father] so, I want to honor him in every way I can.”
On carrying on the family legacy: “We’re Von Erichs. We didn’t pick this name. We didn’t buy it. It was given to us, we didn’t deserve it, and so let’s honor it and start deserving it.”
