Professional wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment (2007)

Adkisson signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in August 2007.[2] She was assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) in Tampa, Florida, and became the first third generation wrestler from the Von Erich family.[2] She made her debut for FCW on September 15, 2007 managing Billy Kidman under the ring name Lacey Von Erich.[3] On September 25, 2007, Lacey then appeared as the valet for Ryan O' Reilly along with Maryse Ouellet.[4] On October 9, 2007 Von Erich made her in-ring debut in a loss against Nattie Neidhart.[2][5] She was released from her development contract in late 2007.[2]

Lacey made an appearance at WrestleMania XXV, where the Von Erich family was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. She was seen in the audience as her uncle, Kevin Von Erich, accepted the induction.

Independent circuit (2008–present)

On March 8, 2008, Von Erich returned to the ring with Missy Hyatt in her corner in a match against Angel Orsini in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey. Wrestling barefoot like her uncle Kevin, Von Erich won the match by defeating Orsini with the Iron Claw. On March 22, 2008, Von Erich made her debut in Professional Championship Wrestling in Arlington, Texas. She teamed up with Action Jackson to defeat Mike Foxx and Claudia in a mixed tag team match.[6] Von Erich joined Pro Wrestling Revolution on June 7, 2008.

In 2009, Von Erich began working for an all-female wrestling promotion, Wrestlicious, which was created by Jimmy Hart.[7] She, however, had to be released by the company after signing with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.[1] On July 10, 2009, Lacey Von Erich defeated Mia Martinez , Faith, Huntress, and Kimberly Kash to become the new WCPW Ladies Champion.[8]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2009)

On the October 1, 2009, episode of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Impact!, Von Erich debuted as a heel (villainous character), by aligning herself with the Beautiful People of Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne and attacking the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions, Taylor Wilde and Sarita.[9] On the October 15 edition of Impact! she made her in-ring debut teaming with Sky and Rayne in a six knockout tag team match, where they defeated the team of Awesome Kong, ODB and Tara.[10] Two weeks later on Impact! she once again teamed with Sky and Rayne in a six knockout tag team match, where they defeated ODB, Christy Hemme and Hamada, when Von Erich pinned Hemme after a chokeslam, scoring her first victory in TNA.[11] At Turning Point, the Beautiful People were unsuccessful in gaining any gold in TNA, as ODB pinned Rayne in a six knockout tag team match with all the gold on the line to win the match for the reigning champions.[12] The Beautiful People began appearing in backstage segments they dubbed as their reality show "The Meanest Girls", an allusion to the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls.

Hulkamania: Let the Battle Begin (2009)

In November 2009 Von Erich took part in the Australian tour "Hulkamania: Let the Battle Begin" created by Hulk Hogan. On November 21 she won a bikini contest, while also interfering in the main event between Hogan and Ric Flair, on Flair's behalf.[13] In other matches on the tour she was used as Flair's manager and each in match she was pantsed by Hogan's manager Jimmy Hart.

Adkisson is part of the Von Erich family. Her grandfather was Fritz Von Erich, and she is the daughter of Kerry Von Erich.[2] She has a sister.[2] She also has a son.[2]
