She is best known for her time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where she was a one-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion. Her family roots are German. Her grandfather Fritz Von Erich was a professional wrestler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Von Erich has faced a lot of criticism for her role on TNA Impact. She has been called an &#8220;airhead&#8221; by her opponents, and others from the company have said that they&#8217;re glad not to work with her. She is the daughter of Kerry Von Erich, who made a name for himself in the WCW and AWA. Unlike her father, Lacey is a different wrestler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leaving WWE, Lacey Von Erich wrestled for several independent promotions. She joined Women Superstars Uncensored and Texas&#8217; Professional Championship Wrestling, as well as the all-female promotion Wrestlelicious. She had a feud with Angelina Love, who had recently left the promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Von Erich&#8217;s father was a former World Class World Champion and multi-time tag team champion. He also won the NWA World Championship and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Unfortunately, he committed suicide at the age of 33. Lacey Von Erich is the first third-generation Von Erich to enter pro wrestling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In TNA, Lacey Von Erich was booked as a dumb bimbo character that was not ready to wrestle. Her outings were not as good as her talent. She did a good job as a manager and had some decent matches, but her outings were mediocre. TNA did not promote her enough, and she was a flop. Despite her lack of charisma, Lacey Von Erich is still a part of the wrestling family. However, she needs to improve her wrestling skills and become a competitor with Alissa Flash or Hamada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Von Erich was also linked to a plan to create an all-female promotion. The promotion would have included Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky. Eventually, this plan fell apart and Von Erich joined SWE instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams feud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first match in the Kevin Von Erich vs. Chris Adams feud was on May 26, 1986. It was a six-man tag match. Von Erich and Adams were working as a tag team when Adams was brought in to replace the injured Bruiser Brody. The match had some early tension between the two men, but as the match went on, Adams and Von Erich grew closer. At one point, Chris Adams nearly lost his left eye when a piece of a wooden chair lodged in his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Von Erichs and Freebirds feud was one of the most brutal in modern-day wrestling history. The rivalry continued on and off throughout the decade and involved several other wrestlers. In addition to the Von Erichs, the feud also involved Brian &#8220;The Devil&#8221; The Rock, Steve or Shaun Simpson, and Terry Gordy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adams was a popular babyface in the World Class during the early part of the 1980s. He had good looks, an accent, and talent. He was also loyal to Sunshine and the fans. However, his popularity waned by late summer 1984. Meanwhile, Jimmy Garvin and Stella Mae were becoming the most popular wrestlers in the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Adams lost the heavyweight title to Black Bart in 1986. A few months later, Adams was convicted of misdemeanor assault on a co-pilot aboard a plane. The incident happened during flight, when Adams was under the influence of alcohol. When the liquor was no longer available on the plane, he became belligerent and head-butted the co-pilot. Luckily, Von Erich was able to restrain him and keep him from hurting anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two brothers had a long and distinguished wrestling career. Kevin Von Erich was the elder son of a wrestling dynasty, and his career had seen him reach incredible heights. During his career, he faced numerous setbacks, including the premature death of his friends. Despite this, Von Erich remained a profile of courage in professional wrestling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Adams and Kevin Von Erich&#8217;s feud started when Adam Adams turned heel. At the time, both competitors were feuding with each other, but this feud would eventually turn sour. The two men fought each other for two months before they reconciled. After that, they became friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin Von Erich&#8217;s family history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in learning about Kevin Von Erich&#8217;s family history is to look up his father&#8217;s name. His father was a legendary wrestler named Fritz Von Erich. He had four brothers, including the late Jack. Kevin Von Erich is the last of this generation to be alive. The wrestler won three world championships and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Von Erich family has been connected with the Dallas wrestling scene since the 1960s. Von Erich&#8217;s father, Fritz Von Erich, ran World Class Championship Wrestling. The Von Erich clan has had many notable wrestling matches, and today the Von Erichs have a presence on the Texas scene alongside the Funks and Guerreros. The family no longer lives in Texas, though. In fact, Lacey Von Erich has moved to Southern California after retiring from professional wrestling in TNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Von Erich brothers have a wrestling history, too. Kevin and David Von Erich fought for several championships in the NWA and MLW. They were also the tag team champions of NWA Texas, All Asia and World. However, David Von Erich died in Japan of acute enteritis in 1984. This shattered the symmetry of the rivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Von Erich&#8217;s family history was a complicated one. Although the Von Erichs were billed as &#8220;unbeatable&#8221; all-Americans, the facts surrounding their lives are often obscured. The Von Erich family was a good family with dark sides. There are two sides to every story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Von Erich family had a history of tragedies. After losing four brothers in less than a decade, Kevin Von Erich took a break from the wrestling business to raise his children in Hawaii. His father, Fritz Von Erich, suffered from lung cancer and died at a young age. Nevertheless, the Von Erich family&#8217;s legacy remained. In 2009, the WWE honoured the Von Erich family for its contribution to the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kevin Von Erich&#8217;s family has a storied history in professional wrestling, and this has come with heartache throughout the years. While the last name in the Von Erich family is Adkisson, many members of the family have used the name &#8220;Von Erich&#8221; in wrestling. Their patriarch, Fritz, gave the family the name. At the age of 68, Fritz Von Erich died by suicide, leaving behind five sons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Von Erich, whose real name is Kevin Ross Adkisson, is a retired American professional wrestler.
