TNA Knockout Getting the Boot?

Lacey Von Erich's brief tenure with TNA Wrestling may be coming to an end soon as the second generation performer is said to on "thin ice" with management.

Stay tuned.

This doesn't surprise me in the least, but I am pleased that it's happening. Lacey is beautiful, but it doesn't excuse her attitude or her lack of ability inside and outside the ring. She really seems to have no clue for the business she was brought up in. It seems that she has had problems with her attitude and lack of work ethic backstage, and she was even booted from Ebay for selling TNA merchandise.

I won't be sad to see her go, and I think the Beautiful People are better without her. What do you think about her situation? Should TNA reconsider and let her stay? If she does stay should she have a different role?

Hold on Lacey got fired when did this happen. Oh and I think that Lacey shouldn't stay. Just because her father was a wrestler doesn't mean she has to be one. I mean not everyone is made to be a wrestler she has no in ring skill at all. The Beautiful People used to be my favorite female stable because of the way there characters acted they were very entertaining. Now with Lacey replacing Angelina the stable is horrible nobody will ever be able to take Angeline's place it is impossible. So can someone tell me if she has already been fired please.

 

[Paradox]

I really wasn't impressed, she didn't do that much for the beautiful people. The only reason that she seemed to be there was for eye candy. I'm not denying that she is gorgeous, but her lack skills in the ring really hurt her. She seemed to be forcing a lot of things, like she didn't care to be there. Her promos were bad, and her in ring work was worse. I'm not sad that she's leaving, and it's really no surprise that she is. The beautiful people will be better off without her, I do hope that Love comes back...

 

[Lethalfan]

I think if she is leaving the company or about to get fired. It would be a good thing she didn't really do anything to help the beautiful people. Or make seem like the top female brats in the company like when Angelina was around. If Anglina does indeed return in someway be getting rid of Lacey then I think the wrestling world would be a little bit more happy.

Let's see...lack of wrestling talent? Check.

Pissing everyone off because you think you should have everything based on your family heritage? Check.

Just as hot blonde, who can work, coming back? Check.

Yeah, this cuntie is done.

She has pissed off ENTIRELY too many people in the business with her big mouth and "look at me! I'm HAWT AND a Von Erich!" attitude. She's an embarassment to next-generation performers anywhere (and that's a tall order considering the existance of Slam Master J aka the Son of Gordy).

 

[NSL]

I'm thinking this means Lacey is done with more than just TNA. Her attitude has rubbed too many people the wrong way, and you can't disrespect the business, just because your family is full of wrestling talent.

I'm not sad to see her go, and I don't want to see her ever come back. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if she popped up in WWE, since that's where she was heading before TNA snatched her up, in all their infinite wisdom

 

[wrestling fan 666]

Sadly, why did you have to bring up another let down...Terry Gordy Jr.? He's just sad.

As far a Lacey:

-I've said it before; she's dangerous in the ring. One day, she's going to hurt someone unintentionally and will have to live with it.

-She's pissed off the wrong people in the business. They can make or break you...she should be thankful for the opportunities given her.

-Her impact on TNA was so poorly executed, she won't even be missed.

I've been a fan of the Von Erichs for years. I think that they are truly underrated in their legacy. But a name does not make a star. Sometimes a reputation is so overwhelming that no one can match it (David Sammartino, Scott Putski, David Flair). I'm not saying that it can't be done; but you have to put in the effort, sweat, and tears into it... earn your own way (Randy Orton, The Rock) and prove yourself. She simply does not have the work ethic needed to become a true superstar.

What the hell are people on about? Lacey Von Erich is average at worst... especially for her to be so green.

I mean she's only been wrestling for what, three years now? Of course she's not going to be perfect. Hell, even Kurt Angle isn't perfect.

Lacey has some great abilities for her to be so green. She's also got decent mic skills, and to be fair on her, this is her first time playing the heel roll.

Honestly, I will miss her as I liked what she can do and from what I've seen in TNA, she isn't that bad at all. Way better than the WWE Champion, that's for sure.

I don't know who you've been watching, but it hasn't been Lacey Von Erich. She's horrible, just beyond horrible. I suppose you're going to tell me that Rob Terry is underrated as well?

I mean she's only been wrestling for what, three years now? Of course she's not going to be perfect. Hell, even Kurt Angle isn't perfect.

So, if she's been wrestling for three years what's her excuse for not being able to pull off a chokeslam? I mean, it's one of the simplest and most basic power moves in wrestling today. It would also help if she didn't trip over her own two feet, as she's been known to do during Impact tapings on several occassions. Nobody is expecting perfection out of her, just some degree of compotence that she hasn't shown.

Honestly, I will miss her as I liked what she can do and from what I've seen in TNA, she isn't that bad at all. Way better than the WWE Champion, that's for sure.

That a line of such baffoonish proportions that it doesn't really deserve a response. The fact that she's a fuckable woman of the highest physical quality doesn't mean she has ANYTHING to offer in terms of pro wrestling. As to the Sheamus comparrison...yeah ok...that's officially the dumbest thing I've read today in any forum or in any publication about any subject in the world today. I'm not saying that Sheamus is the shit...but that's like saying Cody Deaner is better than Ric Flair.

So TNA is fiinally getting rid of that train wreck of a wrestle Lacy Van Erich, i am not sad to see her leaving TNA it is better for every one. and we will not have to worry abut he maybe hurting some one in the ring, and she didnt do much for TNA any way.

The matches she wrestled i would rather watch paint dry then watch Lacy Wrestle,

 

[mdcclxxvisoad]

Still, by saying someone is average, decent, green, and it's her first heel role, only admits that she is untalented. If your only credentials is your last name, she might as well be Paris Hilton.

That being said, even Paris Hilton can be entertaining, but that doesn't mean she should be wrestling. You have to cover up all her flaws, and enhance her abilities. Yet she still has to be productive. What are the benefits of keeping Lacey Von Erich? To me the benefit would be that she is the Kelly Kelly of TNA, she can't wrestle, but her presence is pleasing regardless.

I think if she was dealt with properly she could be a great asset to TNA, but unfortunately I don't think TNA knows how to properly book anyone, so I think she's on her way out. However I think WWE would do a better job booking her and she would be more suited as a Diva. She needs to get more comfortable and come out of her shell, and if she does she could be the next Stacy Keibler. However at this point in time Kelly Kelly > Lacey Von Erich.

 

[nwotaz23]

well she already did wrestle for wwe and they let her go for all the same reasons i think u bring back love to kick her out and after a few months if she trains hard and gets her act together she comes back as a face and take on the beautiful people

WOO WOO WOO U KNOW IT

 

[wwe fan2009]

good. she sucked big time, I love the BP when Angelina was in it, Lacey kind of ruined it, with her lack of skills, Angelia wasnt the best either, but better than Lacey .

 

[Viola Moonlight]

TNA hasn't been booking Lacey von Erich at how she performs well in from the get go. Couple this with the fact that she has such a bad attitude both on and off-screen concerning other stars, and you have a recipe for disaster concerning von Erich's career in TNA.

I am not sad that she is going to get her walking papers as she really wasn't that much of an addition to the BP as a wrestler. She did work the role as the "typical blonde" character fairly well considering her abilities, and she could of continued down the line as the manager carrying around her ugly stick handing it off to Sky/Rayne to gain some sneaky wins and possibly lead them to Tag Team gold... but it is not meant to be. Wrestling-wise, she can't even hold a candle to nothing without botching (poorly at that).

It is mainly Lacey's fault for getting the sack, but TNA putting her in a different role could of did something of a change to the entire situation. Then again, part of being a wrestler is to adapt to what the company has given you and explore what you can do personally. Lacey couldn't and wouldn't do that.

 

[Fallen Angel 21.3]

PRAISE THE LORD YESSSSSS, holy shit its about time TNA finally realized she has no talent in the ring and is only using her looks and Von Eric name. I mean respect what the von erics have done for this great bussiness but hopefully she gets her shit together and fuckin trains alot harder to be better. Thats what Orton, the rock, hell even Golddust had to do to get out of there families shadow

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

Oh I won't be able to sleep at night lol. No she's horrible. She messes up like chokeslams and claws which both are very easy to pull hell I could wrestle a better match with my pillow then I could Lacey but I would like to wrestle Lacey . But still she will not be missed she was only eye candy pure and simple!

 

[Thriller Ant]

Good riddance. She's not that good on the mic, a drunken monkey could perform better in the ring, and she was somehow worse for the Beautiful People than Love leaving. Let Velvet and Madison do their amazing mic work and work on getting Angelina back. Lacey needs to go to wrestling school and, if the reports are true, needs to work on her attitude. She could be an asset to what may very well be the best women's stable ever, but right now she is a waste of money, air time, and oxygen for TNA.

 

[Dagger Dias]

What do you think about her situation? Should TNA reconsider and let her stay? If she does stay should she have a different role?

I am one of the few who would actually be sad to see her go. I do realize that she's not that great in the ring, but she's attractive and decent on the mic. She was in the right place at the right time to be able to be part of the Beautiful People when Angelina left. I would think they could keep her around as a manager and/or a talker for the stable unless Angelina is coming back. Even if Angelina returns at some point, Lacey could still find a role somewhere if they looked hard enough. I know she wasn't great but I would be sad to see her go anyhow. If she doesn't get to stay then she probably would only have herself to blame then though.
