7 Second generation wrestlers who didn’t live up to the legacy of their famous fathers

Which wrestlers failed to live up to their family legacy?

3: Lacey Von Erich (daughter of Kerry Von Erich)

Lacey Von Erich just didn’t belong inside the squared circle

Lacey von Erich, as you can tell from her name, is a member of the Von Erich family, which sort of makes her wrestling royalty. The daughter of the legendary Kerry Von Erich, she is a clear example of how talent can sometimes skip a generation. Wrestling is almost literally in her blood. Her grandfather, Fritz Von Erich was one of the pioneering architects of the industry.

Lacey had managed to earn a developmental deal with WWE early on in her career, but she was released just a few months into it. She then wrestled occasionally on the indies for a few years before TNA signed her.

She was featured on TNA programming quite a bit but always looked like a fish out of water. TNA continued to try and push her to cash in on her name and looks but she was terrible in the ring and prone to botching even the simplest of maneuvers. She announced her retirement out of the blue in 2010 and left TNA. She now runs her own advertising company in Southern California.
