And much More

Former TNA knockout tag team champion Lacey Von Erich took part
in a interview with Blue Steel Cage Radio primarily. she talked
about a number of things from working in TNA and WWE to the
Ultimate Warrior and the Von Erich family. Lacey also spoke a
bit about TNA, the pressure of being a Von Erich in the world of
Pro Wrestling and more.
the following are highlights from the interview
On the pressures of being a Wrestler and the differences between
TNA and the WWE:
If you never want to have a family or a wife or time to
yourself, and you like being verbally and mentally abused, then
you should [get into wrestling]. I say go for it. [That abuse
comes more from] the locker room. Definitely the locker room.
TNA is very different than WWE. WWE was very political. I wasn’t
in there yet. They were like, “You’re a Von Erich. You better be
amazing at wrestling,” and things like that and I wasn’t.
I’m more of an actress than I am a wrestler. I’d rather play a
character than get hurt on the mat. That’s what I’m better at.
I’m better at acting. That’s what I wanted to do. Vince called
me. He’s the one that got me into this. He’s the one asked me,
“Do you want to be a wrestler? Try to be a diva?” He brought me
out and and I signed the contract that night and went into
training. I wasn’t expecting it to come as much. It really blew
up and they expected so much of me. But then TNA called and they
really embraced me as like a family member.
On Wrestlers Battling Demons:
It’s so hard to leave [wrestling]. It’s really hard, once you
leave, because no one ever understands what you went through
ever. No one will know … People screaming your name or having
fans and having those experiences together. Going from hotel to
hotel, being on the road together. No one knows those
experiences but [other wrestlers]. It really shapes the kind of
person you can be. As you can see, in the past, [with]
wrestlers, it can either shape you to be a great person and you
can learn from it and become a great wife and mother, which I
hope I have. Or you can end up self-medicating because of all
that. You either get stronger or you get weaker. And luckily I
came out of it, unlike the rest of my family, a stronger, better
person.
On Her Earliest Memories of The Warrior:
My mom was just telling me that my dad actually trained
[Warrior] … I was really young when my dad passed away. I was
only 6 years old, but a lot of those memories have been grained
in my mind because of the traumatic experience I went through. A
lot of things when it comes to wrestling I don’t remember,
because when we went to wrestling matches it would be 10, 11
o’clock at night and we would just be asleep in the stands … I
remember more of Uncle Jimbo [Warrior] off of wrestling, not
actually on the mat with everyone. I remember him at his house,
and babysitting us, and things like that. It was like being
babysat by my dad. Basically the same. A lot of roughhousing. A
lot of fun.

Wow Lacey doesn't hold back about her experience being in
wrestling. I'm sure it can tough at times in the wrestling
industry especially when you got family that wrestle then it can
have a lot of pressure on you. I'm sure Lacey was happy to happy
to retire early
