Lacey

Larissa Vados (born April 27, 1983) is an American former professional wrestler who went under the ring name Lacey, most known for working with numerous promotions throughout Northern America such as Ring of Honor, Shimmer, IWA-Mid South, Full Impact Pro, and NWA Midwest.

She has also wrestled for Chikara, ChickFight, and was part of Wrestling Society X.

As well as managing many wrestlers, she regularly teamed with Rain as the Minnesota Homewrecking Crew (a play on the name of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew) and then with the addition of British wrestler Jetta as The International Home Wrecking Crew in Shimmer.

Lacey is considered one of ROH's Women of Honor, a title taken from the Straight Shootin' shoot interview of the same name.

She is now semi-retired, wrestling matches for custom shoots and websites and assuming a valet/manager role in Shimmer to the International Home Wrecking Crew.

Lacey made her ring debut in August, 2000 as The Lovely Lacey in Minnesota in a handicap match that also featured Shawn Daivari.

This includes a Falls Count Anywhere match held in MAW on September 28, 2002.

Lacey made her IWA Mid-South debut on November 2, 2002 in a three-way dance that featured Rain but was won by Hailey Hatred.

From then until late 2003 she regularly feuded with Rain all across the Midwest wrestling circuit in promotions such as Steel Domain Wrestling and Mid American Wrestling (MAW).

In late 2003 Lacey and Rain put their kayfabe differences aside and formed a tag team known as The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew.

The team proceed to have matches against the team of Daizee Haze and Mickie Knuckles, losing to them on December 20, 2003, but defeating them on May 7, 2004.

In singles competition Lacey had greater success.

On February 13, 2004 Lacey defeated Daizee Haze.

On March 6, she emerged the victor in a 6-way dance which featured Rain, Haze, MsChif, Mickie Knuckles and ODB.

Lacey defeated Mercedes Martinez and Haze in a 3-way dance to win a 1-night Tournament on May 30 to become the first NWA Midwest Women's Champion.

On September 17, she lost the title to Martinez, ending her 110-day reign as champion.

The following night, September 18 she was unsuccessful in winning the title back in a 6-way elimination match which was won by MsChif and featured Rain, Mickie Knuckles, Daizee Haze and Martinez.

Lacey made her Ring of Honor (ROH) debut as part of the Special K faction as a girlfriend in mid-2004.

During September up until November Lacey would become involved in arguments and then catfights with fellow Special K valet Becky Bayless, sparked by the factions frequent tag-team losses.

On December 4, after the group lost an 8-man tag to a team of ROH students Special K finally broke up as Izzy, Deranged and Lacey turned on Dixie, AngelDust and Bayless.

On December 26 Deranged and Lacey defeated AngelDust and Becky Bayless when Lacey pinned Bayless.

In 2005, as well as wrestling Lacey began a manager and valet role, leading Lacey's Angels of Izzy and Deranged, and now featuring Cheech and Cloudy.

On October 1, Lacey announced that after her men had failed to get the wins she wanted a new Lacey's Angels would debut the following night.

On October 2, after BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs defeated Izzy & Deranged, she fired them and hired Whitmer and Jacobs as her new angels.

Lacey accompanied Jacobs and Whitmer to the ring for their tag and singles matches.

As part of making the new Lacey's Angels into a dominant force, Lacey in particular made continued efforts to turn Jacobs into a serious wrestler away from his previous comical gimmick.

This including giving him a 'flashy' ring robe, refusing him to wear furry boots or shout 'Huss' and wear proper ring gear.

However, in doing so she had unwittingly made Jacobs fall in love with her, to the point where he was more concerned with winning her heart rather than matches.

Jacobs' antics began to aggravate BJ Whitmer when it cost them both matches.

Whitmer finally turned on Jacobs on January 2006 after losing an ROH Tag Team Championship match against Austin Aries and Roderick Strong when Jacobs paid more attention to Lacey at ringside than the match.

Lacey and Jacobs then entered into a feud with Whitmer, based on Lacey ordering Jacobs to put Whitmer out of wrestling.

Lacey went as far as offering advice to Christopher Daniels on how to beat Whitmer in a match.

On April 22, Jacobs made one last attempt to win Lacey's heart in a match with Colt Cabana.

Pre-match, Lacey gave Jacobs a final ultimatum, demanding that he win or he would never be allowed to talk to her again.

Jacobs subsequently lost the match.

But the following night Lacey gave the same ultimatum to Jacobs before his 6-way match.

Jacobs won the match.

From June onward, ROH began placing teases and hints that there was a 'romantic' relationship going on between Lacey and Colt Cabana.

On August 25, Jacobs confronted Lacey about the rumors and later that night lost his match.

On January 14, 2007, she participated in the seventh ChickFight tournament, losing in the first round to Eden Black.
