Over the last week I’ve been hooking you guys up with the 411 on everyone’s favorite all-girl wrestling promotion, SHIMMER. I’m glad you guys are enjoying these ladies in action. Support them and buy the DVDs if you can. Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for one last(?) SHIMMER Spotlight.Â
Â
Name: LaceyÂ
Age: 25Â
Aliases: The Lovely LaceyÂ
Entrance Theme: “The Game” by DisturbedÂ
Finisher(s): TKO; Implant DDT; Lungblower
Accomplishments: FLWA Women’s Champion (1 time); MIW Women’s Champion (1 time); NWA Midwest Women’s Champion (1 time)Â
Years Active: 2000 – 2008Â
Â
I’m about to make a statement that is really gonna piss some people off. Lacey is possibly THE best heel in women’s wrestling ever. Oh yeah, I went there. Anyone who has seen this young lady work the crowd would be hard pressed to disagree. Sure Beth Phoenix can play the powerful, dominant heel and Maryse can be the sexy snob, but no one in WWE or TNA can make people love to hate them like Lacey.Â
Â
Don’t let her pretty face fool you. From insulting the fans at ringside to spitting water on them (and not in the cool HHH way), Lacey encompasses what it means to be a heel. I’ve even seen her rip up some money (isn’t that illegal?) that a smart-ass fan threw at her.Â
Â
Lacey has been wrestling in ROH since 2000 and has been a mainstay of the promotion. She’s taken on the likes of Allison Danger, Roxxi and Moose Knuckles. Her most notable rivalry has been with Daizee Haze. The two have been feuding off and on for years. They’re the indy version of Trish and Lita.Â
Â
For all her cattiness(is that a word?), Lacey has proved that she plays well with others. Along with Rain aka Payton Banks and British sensation Jetta, collectively known as The International Homewrecking Crew, she took ROH, NWA Midwest and SHIMMER by storm.Â
Â
Unfortunately for us, Lacey retired from professional wrestling in November 2008 citing ‘personal reasons’. I think her hard hitting style and brash personality would have made her a hit in TNA and her model-esque looks and technical skill would have made her more than a match for the WWE Divas. I would love to see her in the ring with Natalya or even Beth.Â
Â
Just in case you guys don’t have the cash to shell out for a SHIMMERÂ or Ring Of Honor DVD (it’s so worth it), here’s a few vids. Enjoy!:

she’s amazing! haah.
It may have a little something to do with her totally awesome name, lol, but I really love Lacey. She’s a super great talent and while I’m a little more reluctant to call her the best heel diva EVER, she is incredibly great at working the crowd and is just really crazy awesome in general. Of course having Jimmy Jacobs accompany you to the ring as he did in that second match isn’t going to endear you to the fans either =P
she sucks. she really not that great tbqh
WOW…Vassy is being a bit vicious O_o
Love Lacey! One of the best womens wrestlers I can think of!
I agree, I would totally pay to see Natalya vs Lacey!!
Great heel, great wrestler!
im vicious cuz i dont suck lacey’s cock or steven’s cock like everybody else does? whatever
lol actually it’s more to do with the unnecessary attitude in general, but I mean… you know… different strokes, different folks or something like that
She is decent, I personally would not go out and call her the best of anything. If she ever did reach higher levels (WWE/TNA) her upclose heel tactics would be non-existent. Also, her actually promo skills leave much to be desired.. Not talking about these random insults at ringside, actual mic work.. None the less, decent indy girl, but I’m not gonna get troubled over not seeing her in the “big leagues”.
I like her!
Her attitude is real rude
I couldn’t believe she ripped the money! She’s a badass!
Oh yeah, love her finisher
