I was hoping that WWE would cut some extraneous divas and sign Lacey. Probably be put to better use in TNA though. Then again, the same could have been said for Natalya.

Uhm.. is Lacey no different than Kelly Kelly? Does she even wrestle? Why would WWE cut some of their lesser divas to sign her?
Posted By: Kato (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 02:19 AM
WWE released her because because supposedly they didn't view her as committed enough or progressing at all in the ring IIRC.

Well, guess Wrestlicious isn't doing to well, now is it? Sure they can sign Bobbi Billard, lose Lacey Von Erich and still have no TV deal.
On a brighter note: I STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHO COUSIN CASSIE IS AND IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!
Seriously, if anyone out there knows, leave a reply. Please!

Fear RUMAGA!
Posted By: Alienoid06 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 02:54 AM
actually, lacey has a child so working a full time wwe schedule is not possible for her.
in tna, she will earn less money but tna tapes their shows over a three day period and she likely will not have to work houseshows. just look at tara's schedule for tna.
Posted By: Guest#6606 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 02:58 AM
So how is Lacey working for TNA and for Hogan's Australian Tour?
Is she only going to work Impact tapings?
Is she not going to start with TNA until after the Hogan tour is over?
Posted By: Sammy (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 03:11 AM
lol at Rumaga. Cool that he's still wrestling, but Rumaga was the best he could come up with?
Posted By: Metalingus (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 03:16 AM
Booked my presale tickets for Hulkamania today. I'm stoked!
WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER?!? WHOOOOOOOO!!!
Posted By: Jay (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 03:20 AM
Not sure if shes a good wrestler but she looked pretty hot in pictures i've seen of her. Oh wait she's on the Hulkamania tour? Yeah i guess that answered my question about her wrestling ability. :(
Posted By: Alfredo Lara Jr. (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 03:28 AM
From what I read, Lacey will still be on
Wrestleicious and is filming new footage
with them. It's some kind of a talent sharing deal.
Posted By: CousinCassiesCousin (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 03:33 AM
Rumaga?!?!?!? Oh, that was a good laugh.
Posted By: Guest#9094 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 04:24 AM
Hogan was everywhere this weekend here in Australia and everyone knew who he was, you didnt have to know about wrestling to pick him, He was a special guest on a number of top rating shows including Half time of the Australian Rules Football game where over 2million people where watching which is 10% off the countries poppulation, nothing beats free publicity lol
Posted By: ChrisA (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 04:49 AM
She's smokin hot but can she work? I wonder if she's this rumored replacement of Angelina Love in TBP.
Posted By: Guest#9413 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 05:26 AM
Unless they've brought her in for Kevin Nash's valet search don't expect any miracles. The girl is terrible in the ring and doesn't even seem to be able to grasp the basics yet. She's probably lower than Christy and Velvet in terms of in-ring ability. Rhaka Khan bad.
Posted By: Guest#0105 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 06:00 AM
Lacey Von Erich is just awful.
Posted By: Jason (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 06:07 AM
I thought that Rumaga was an appetizer with chicken liver and bacon. Oh, wait, that's rumaki. Never mind.

Posted By: PHOENIXZERO (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 02:25 AM
I too have read about that. And it's pretty ironic seeing as how WWE don't care about a Diva's wrestling talents as opposed to how hot she looks. Now TNA on the other hand which has emphasised serious women's wrestling for the last 2 years is basically signing Lacey who is not good in the ring at all at this point.
Posted By: Guest#5316 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 06:57 AM
LOL Rumaga.
Posted By: Tim Haught (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 07:36 AM
Rumaga?!?!
Who the fuck came up with that, someone from FCW? They should just go with The Samoan Bulldozer...or hell, even just Maga.
Posted By: Devin (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 07:37 AM
WWE and Lacey parted ways because she has a kid, which is a priority for her. Wrestlelicious and TNA have a much lighter work schedule than WWE, thats why she signed with TNA. But in interviews she left the way to WWE open, maybe if her kid is some years older. Don't forget that Lacey is still only 23.
Posted By: Guest#4026 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 08:16 AM
oh, he's not Umaga he is Rumaga.
That should keep the lawyers away.
Posted By: demOcratic (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 09:01 AM
Surely Umanga would've been a better name? That's what he was called on Raw for however long, and it's different enough so as to avoid a lawsuit
Posted By: Craig (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Rumaga and Kishi? Wonder if Ron Cena, Evan Michaels and Hulk Logan will be there?
Posted By: Comment Board Poster (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 10:39 AM
Jeez, TNA really needs to slow down! They keep hiring more and more women.
They must be really confident in getting the Knockouts their own show because I don't see them using so many performers effectively otherwise.
By the way is Lacey anything like her dad?
Posted By: joemark0 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 11:54 AM
That tour will be sponsered by Geritol & Ben Gay!
Lacey Von Erich? WTF? Couldn't Dixie get someone with ACTUAL wrestling skills like Portia Perez or Alison Danger?
Posted By: gonzo2 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 12:21 PM
She is only 23 and she already has a kid? WHORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted By: Guest#8060 (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 12:27 PM
Lacey Von Erich? Sounds like TNA needed someone to fill the Beautiful People void left by Angelina Love.
Posted By: JD (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 01:28 PM
Rumaga? They should've went with Fatumaga...
Oh, and Lacey should fit well in TNA, I think. She'll probably be a MEM biznatch.
Posted By: Jimmy (Guest) on September 21, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Pretty surprised about Lacey. She has, no exaggeration, about zero wrestling ability which seems to fly in the face of TNA's women's division. And Cousin Cassie is nobody. If you think you've seen her in the indies no, no you haven't. She's a model working exclusively for Wrestilicious.
