Behind The Iron Claw : The Von Erich Story Part 3 : The New Generation

Hello Everyone! Here is the third and final part of ‘ Behind The Iron Claw: The Von Erich Story ’. If you haven’t read Parts one and two , please go check them out ! I also want to say thank you for taking the time to read this series and my other articles I have here on my blog! In this article , I’ll be discussing the third generation of Von Erichs in professional wrestling.

Lacey Dawn Adkisson ( Lacey Von Erich ) was born July 17, 1986. Lacey is Kerry Von Erich’s daughter and Fritz Von Erich’s granddaughter. Lacey stepped foot in the squared circle in 2007 with WWE as a developmental talent for Florida Championship Wrestling ( FCW ) . She was also the first member of the third generation of the Von Erich family to do so. Lacey would make her debut as a valet for Billy Kidman on September 15,2007. She would also be a valet for Ryan O’Reilly ( Konner ) alongside two time WWE Divas Champion, Maryse. In October, she would make her in ring debut against another third generation wrestler , Natalya Neidhart, the daughter of Jim ‘ The Anvil Neidhart ’, granddaughter of Stu Hart, and niece of Bret ‘ The Hitman ’ Hart and Owen Hart. She would also manage Alicia Fox and team with Natalya and Maryse in a match against Fox and Brie and Nikki Bella ( The Bella Twins ). She would be released from her contract after asking to go to OVW. She would spend time on the independent scene and become the Windy City Pro Wrestling Ladies’ Champion in 2009. She won the championship in a Fatal 4 Way match which was her debut for the promotion. Thus, she vacated the championship after being signed to TNA. She would also have a run in Wrestlicious , a women’s wrestling promotion started by Jimmy Hart. Von Erich would make her TNA debut on October 1,2009 as Heel and becoming a member of The Beautiful People ( Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky). She is a one time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion along with Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne .

Kevin Marshall Adkisson and David Michael Ross Adkisson ( Marshall and Ross Von Erich ) are the sons of Kevin Von Erich and grandsons of Fritz Von Erich. Marshall was born on November 10,1992 and Ross was born on June 1, 1988. Lacey Von Erich is their cousin. Marshall and Ross made their profession wrestling debut in 2012 at World League Wrestling, losing in a tag team match against Jason Jones and Brian Breaker. They would also debut for a Japanese promotion called Pro Wrestling NOAH the same year . The brothers would make their wrestling TV debut in 2014 at TNA’s Slammiversary Pay Per View. Kevin would be managing his sons. They would make appearances in TNA from 2014 and 2015 . They would also compete in Action Zone Wrestling , a promotion in Hawaii where they lived. They would win the tag team championships. In the Summer of 2017, they would wrestle alongside Kevin at Rage Megashow in Israel. Therefore , in 2019, Marshall and Ross would find their way to Major League Wrestling ( MLW ). They would become MLW Tag Team Champions after defeating MJF and Richard Holliday ( The Dynasty ) . In 2022, they would face The Briscoes ( Mark and Jay ) at the show for Ric Flair’s Last Match. In 2023, the Von Erichs would appear in AEW and ROH. In 2024, they would team with Dustin Rhodes , the son of the ‘ American Dream ’ Dusty Rhodes , to win the Ring Of Honor World 6-Man Tag Team Championships at AEW Battle Of The Belts XI (11). ( I did do an article on that match and my reaction to it ! ). Marshall and Ross are also the hosts of The Von Erich podcast. They would interview guests such as ‘ The Perfect 10 ’ Baby Doll, and their mother , Pam.

Lacey’s sister , Hollie alongside Marshall and Ross’ sister , Kristen , also have a podcast. It’s called Growing Up Von Erich. They feature guests such as Natalya Neidhart and family members such as Cathy , Hollie and Lacey’s mother.

My Final Thoughts:

I have so much respect for the Von Erich family. I wrote this series to hopefully help all of you , my amazing readers, to understand who they are and how they impacted wrestling through tragedy and triumph. I enjoy both podcasts and enjoy watching Marshall and Ross when they appear on AEW TV. Lacey was also my favorite member of The Beautiful People . This has to be my favorite series I’ve done here on my blog. Trust me, it took hours of research to put the series together.

Love You All,

- Kay

Slammiversary preview

Alex Shelley vs. Nick Aldis - Aldis won a match on June 9 to earn this shot at the Impact men's world title. It had been looking like they were setting up a feud between Aldis and Steve Maclin, but then Shelley captured the title from Maclin (also on June 9), so I'm not sure what's going on. Regardless, Aldis turned heel by attacking Shelley on June 15.

Aldis originally came to Imapct (then known as TNA) in 2008 as "Brutus Magnus," and quickly got lost in the shuffle until the company remembered to push him to a world title run in 2013-2014. Magnus might have become a fixture in Impact, but the company was facing hard times and he left for (seemingly) greener pastures in Global Force Wrestling, where he held their world title as Nick Aldis. When GFW was absorbed into Impacft, he returned just long enough to drop the belt, and this time left to work for Billy Corgan as the NWA men's world champion. After that relationship soured, Aldis has finally come home, sort of. So he's spent most of his career excelling in relative obscurity--he's probably best known to casual fans for losing the NWA title to Cody Rhodes at All In in 2018. But Impact's fortunes have improved, and it might finally be a proper stage for him to be the top star.

I still don't know what to make of Shelley as champion. It's cool in a "you deserve it" kind of way, in that he's been with Impact for most of the last 20 years and they finally put the top belt on him. But I was really expecting 2023 to be the year of Steve Maclin. Is Shelley meant to be a long-term champion? Or is he just here to put over Aldis, so they can save Aldis vs. Maclin for later? I suppose it'll be interesting to find out.

Impact could plausibly go with either guy on top for the next six months. But my money is on Aldis. I can't picture him fitting into AEW/ROH, and nobody's going to WWE right now, so the best place for him is playing Harley Race in the #3 US promotion. You put your world title on Aldis and he makes it mean something, simple as that.

Deonna Purrazzo vs. Trinity - Purrazzo is defending the Impact women's world title. Trinity is of course Trinity Fatu, formerly known as Naomi in WWE until she left in 2022 and finally debuted with Impact in April. I'm surprised this is where she landed, but it's a big get for Impact. I don't know if she passed on AEW and NJPW, or if they weren't interested in her, but either way I'd like to see her prove she can excel wherever she is.

The natural storyline here is a longrunning champ like Purrazzo resenting the arrival of a much bigger star from the big leagues. Impact has done that story so many times they've got it down to a science. It's promotional malpractice not to book Trinity as champion, but Purrazzo was already in the middle of dominating the division and trying to prove Mickie James isn't its top star. Trinity has to either disrupt all that, or get knocked down a peg and find her way back to the top. My guess is she'll just win the belt straight away. And if it was up to me, I'd keep it on her until Mickie James is ready to return.

Bully Ray & Cody Deaner vs. Scott D'Amore & ??? - D'Amore is the on-screen president of Impact Wrestling. On May 26, Bully Ray and Steve Maclin threw him through a table they set on fire. D'Amore, who used to be an indie wrestler years ago, took a leave of absence from his duties to feud with Ray and Maclin, which was kind of one-sided until PCO improbably showed up to help. So Ray & Maclin vs. D'Amore & PCO was signed for this show...but the heels set PCO on fire on July 6, and then Maclin was sidelined with a legit injury. Deaner stepped up to replace Maclin, and we don't know who D'Amore has in mind for his partner. Is Petey Williams available?

I assume this will be the usual clusterfuck whenever Bully Ray does a big blowoff match with somebody he's been picking on for months. I assume the mystery partner pins Ray to end the feud, but the whole buildup to this match has been chaotic so I don't think you can predict anything going forward.

Chris Sabin vs. Lio Rush - Sabin is defending the Impact X division title. Rush has mainly been in New Japan this year, including some great babyface moments in the Best of the Super Jr. tournament, but he's a heel in Impact after aligning with Nick Aldis against Sabin and Alex Shelley. I don't care, I remember that couple in Japan that let Lio hold their newborn baby, and I want him to win all the belts, starting with this one.

Ace Austin & Chris Bey vs. Moose & Brian Myers vs. Rich Swann & Sami Callihan vs. Mark Andrews & Flash Morgan Webster - Austin and Bey (ABC) are defending the Impact men's tag team title in a four-way match, so whoever scores the first fall on any opponent wins the match and the title for his team. Moose and Myers formed an alliance recently because neither of them have anything better to do. I think Swann and Callihan joined forces against The Design, which seems to be done, but they're still teaming, I guess. The real story here is Subculture (Andrews and Webster, along with Dani Luna) coming in from the downfall of NXT UK. If anybody's going to beat ABC for the tag titles, I'd like to see them do it, just to shake up the tag division.

Eddie Edwards vs. Frankie Kazarian - I don't know, it's two aging wrestlers who've been around forever and now they're fighting again and I guess their wives are involved. I guess Kaz wins.

KiLynn King & Taylor Wilde vs. Killer Kelly & Masha Slamovich - The Coven (King & Wilde) are defending the Impact women's tag team title. Last I looked Slamovich and Kelly were two scary mean ladies who hated each other but now they're scary mean ladies working together, which sounds like bad news for the Coven. I'm cool with witches vs. ass-kickers as a long-term program, so whoever wins I hope they keep doing this.

Jonathan Gresham vs. KUSHIDA vs. Mike Bailey vs. Kevin Knight vs. Alan Angels - This is an Ultimate X match but I think the show starts in about fifteen minutes so I'm not going to spend any time explaining how that works. The winner gets to challenge for the X division title. Angels seems to be getting repackaged for a push so I'll pick him to win.

Jody Threat & Courtney Rush & Jessicka vs. Gisele Shaw & Savannah Evans & Jai Vidal - This is scheduled for the pre-show. Rush and Jessicka used to be Rosemary and Havok, but I guess a bunch of spooky storyline shit turned them into regular people. Vidal is Shaw's male valet, and in wrestling if you're a guy who acts like a lady wrestler's assistant, that makes it okay for you to regularly team with her against women. I don't pay enough attention to Impact to know what Evans or Threat has to do with anything. I'm guessing Threat, Rush, and Jessicka win.

Joe Hendry vs. Kenny King - This is set for the pre-show, and Hendry is defending the digital media championship, which might as well be the PPV pre-show title. I guess Hendry wrote an amusing song making fun of his opponent again, ha ha, lather rinse repeat. Hendry probably retains.

He came he saw he beat Moose’s Ass  @axelwolf8109 @wrasslin-kpop-and-bullshit @moxleyunstable @mandyeminem77 @sassymox

[siscosfavoritecomics]

The first match of the actual PPV card is the Ultimate X Title match.

Jack Evans has been replaced by Andrew Everett. Not sure if this change will have a major effect on the match.

I still think that Ace Austin retains the belt.

Top 20 Female/Joshi Wrestlers of 2021 (Part 2)

Description: We’re a long way away from the “Women’s Revolution” and in some ways the treatment of female wrestling talent in the West has reverted back to the “Diva Era”. In contrast, Joshi Wrestling at companies like STARDOM, has not only been able to stay afloat but grow during the pandemic. Not to be outdone though; the women’s divisions of WWE, AEW, Impact & ROH still put up and good fight and overall made it a competitive year for women in Pro Wrestling.

8. Thunder Rosa-Rosa came in to AEW as a champion in 2020, holding the NWA Women's Title. She challenged a few of the top talents in the company eventually making her way to Dr. Britt Baker. Britt would cost Rosa the NWA Women's Championship in a rematch with Serena Deeb on November 18th, 2020, as their feud would grow more and more heated. AEW's women's division was struggling at this point. Before Britt had beaten Shida and taken the title off of her she had suffered some injuries and even though she was making her presence felt as a heel after her turn, the division wasn't faring well under Shida. She had kind of exhausted a lot of the best opponents that the company had to offer so when Rosa came in and Britt finally beat Shida, that was seemingly the turning point for the division. While it's still struggling, the Unsanctioned Lights Out Match in March of 2021 @ St. Patrick's Day Slam showed us all the possibilities for what this division could produce. I don't think it's even debatable..this was the greatest women's match in company history. For this company it will probably be like Sasha Vs. Bayley @ Takeover: Brooklyn where all the best matches following it will be compared to it.

7. Deonna Purrazzo-After being released by WWE in 2020 without really being given a chance to show what she could do on the main roster, Deonna has been plenty busy. She signed with Impact in 2020 and kind of became the focal point of The Knockout's Division. Deonna prides herself on her technical wrestling ability and which just wasn't going to work out in "Sports Entertainment". The Virtuosa made her in-ring debut in Impact on June 9th of 2020 attacking Jordynne Grace. By Slammiversary in July of that year she had taken the Knockouts Championship off of Jordynne, winning her first title in the company.

Deonna dominated the Summer of 2020, and by 2021 she still remained the "woman to beat". While knocking down all the competition Impact could throw at her, she set out to extend the limits of her reign as one of the most commanding women in the sport by winning the AAA Reina de Reinas title from Faby Apache @ TripleMania XXIX making her a double champion.

Her reign in Impact came to an end when she was defeated by Mickie James @ Bound for Glory, but she became a Double Champion again by beating Rok-C for the Ring of Honor Women's Championship. At 27, we still haven't seen the upper limits of Deonna's potential but 2022 is a new year and i'm sure she has more to show us.

6. Charlotte Flair-In terms of accolades 2021 was a great year for Charlotte. With Sasha Banks passing the torch to Bianca Belair @ WrestleMania and taking a backseat to her, Bayley & Asuka getting injured and Becky Lynch being at home with her baby, Charlotte had plenty of room to shine. She didn't really do that great of a job of it with many of her opponents not being elevated and falling by the wayside, but she was still dominant at least. When she exchanged titles with Becky Lynch that made her a 6-Time Raw Women's Champion and an overall 13-time Women's Champion on the main roster.

5. Utami Hayashishita-Judo Black Belt, Utami Hayashishita only began training to be a Joshi wrestler in 2018. She was already getting high marks for her wrestling ability and won the tag league as well as the Goddess of Stardom Championship with Momo Watanabe in her first year. In 2019 she won 4 championships, The Pro Wrestling: EVE International Championship, The Future of Stardom Championship, The SWA World Championship & The Artist of Stardom Championship with her Queen's Quest stablemates which she held all at once. She won the 5★Star Grand Prix in 2020 and then the World of Stardom Championship. By 2021 in only a short time in the business, Utami had established herself as one of the top women in the company having main evented almost every STARDOM event that year. Her rivalry with Syuri had been building up to The big Dream Queendom show at the end of the year where her reign would come to an end but not before she had the first 5★Star match in Stardom history.

Utami is nothing short of amazing. Out of the 12 women that held the World of Stardom Championship, she has had the 4th longest reign behind decorated veteran Mayu Iwatani, Seadlinnng Founder Nanae Takahashi & The former Ace, Io Shirai. Although she's not the top Champion anymore, STARDOM’s future looks bright with her.
