Sammy’s Swerve, Dustin’s Comeback & Von Erich What-Ifs

Back in Philly and feeling like it’s a residency, the Von Erichs chop it up about life at the 2300 Arena—best gyro spots, that infamous autograph wall (yep… in the bathroom), and why running the same building rules. We hit the gridiron detour too: Arch Manning hot takes, Oklahoma’s prime-time win, and a Red River Shootout bet that might cost Ross his shirt (literally). There’s family talk—Marshall’s nephew Eli lighting up Friday nights—and transfer QB storylines that have AntMan fired up.On the wrestling side: the fallout from Sammy Guevara’s swerve, Dustin Rhodes’ post-surgery update (“feels like a new man”), and what happens if Sammy wanders into the Von Erichs’ lane again. Plus, a fascinating “what if” on the Von Erich–WWF deal that never was, Kerry’s WWF travel grind, and which U.S. state truly shaped pro wrestling the most. The boys wrap by heading back to Philly for ROH and promising receipts if they run into Sammy. Tap in and ride with us.Keywords: AEW, Ring of Honor, 2300 Arena, Von Erich, Sammy Guevara, Dustin Rhodes, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns, Arch Manning, Red River Rivalry, ECW, Philly wrestling history.Subscribe + review if you dig the show—see y’all next week on THE CLAW POD!****************Be sure to connect with us!Ask your questions via email: TheClawPod@Gmail.comInstagram: https://www.Instagram.com/TheClawPodTikTok: https://www.TikTok.com/@TheClawPodX: https://www.X.com/TheClawPodFaceBook: https://www.FaceBook.com/TheClawPod

From River Swims to Ring Ropes: The Von Erichs’ All In Weekend

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. The conversation shifts to AEW’s booming momentum, the energy of Texas wrestling crowds, and why the Lone Star State keeps showing up big for pro wrestling. The guys also react to Dustin Rhodes’ emotional and unexpected TNT Title win, discuss how injuries like Adam Cole’s can shake up major pay-per-views, and share their perspective on wrestling in stadiums versus intimate arenas. 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. Packed with behind-the-scenes stories, real talk about the business, and plenty of laughs, this episode offers a genuine look at the world of wrestling, Von Erich-style, as the crew looks forward to what’s next for AEW and beyond.****************Be sure to connect with us!Ask your questions via email: TheClawPod@Gmail.comInstagram: https://www.Instagram.com/TheClawPodTikTok: https://www.TikTok.com/@TheClawPodX: https://www.X.com/TheClawPodFaceBook: https://www.FaceBook.com/TheClawPod
