Ross and Marshall Von Erich (sons of Kevin Von Erich) will be getting WWE tryouts next month. Both men previously worked with TNA and got over in the Dallas market, but were never offered long term deals.
Also scheduled for that tryout camp is Matthew Riddle, a former UFC fighter who has been training for a few months at the Monster Factory. He’s gotten rave reviews from Sean Waltman and the Blue Meanie for his look, natural physique and athletic ability. Riddle actually defeated UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones in high school at the New York state championships.
Riddle’s wife, a former college gymnast, is still training with him, but he’s picking up pro wrestling faster than she is. He’s always wanted to be a pro wrestler but went the MMA route first.
There are several wrestlers from Texas attending the camp.
