Working within the Professional Wrestling Entertainment Industry, one always starts out with the high hopes of meeting up in the Ring with some of the Great Veteran Wrestler Headliners. My opportunities began to blossom as Manager "Miss Lacy" as I managed such famed Wrestler's while Ringside, LA STEELE, Greg "THE HAMMER" Valentine. I have one particular Englishman to Thank for ALL of my infamous opportunities, he was my Trainer, my Mentor & my Friend. Of all of my Matchs, of all the States we traveled together, of all the Shows we literally worked on together, "GENTLEMAN" Chris Adams...MADE it happen for LA STEELE & Miss Lacy. Working Independant Shows for a Englishman who ~refused~ to take no for an answer. Chris had a dream & he made it a reality. The rush was working a Chris Adams Show with all the top name Preformers he could bring in & continue to do so... Who would have ever dreamed of the Film opportunity that would happen for all of us back in 1998, Again...Thanks to a Chris Adams Booking in Nebraska.
BEYOND THE MAT was the highlight of our Wrestling Career, when we arrived back home to Dallas, we were booked on another Show, sitting around in a dressing room when Chad Hart came up & asked if LA had seen the 2 page spread in WOW magazine...the only picture to be taken from the Film BTM was of Jake & LA & Jake's SNAKE lying atop LA's breathless chest, not only did it make into WOW, but TIME weekly, PEOPLE magazine, PWI magazine, ENTERTAINMENT weekly. Chad began showing the entire dressing room & suddenly the friction became so thick you could cut it with a knife. What gave us such a thrilling HIGH was the beginning of the "local haters club", the jealousy, the name calling. Like I told ALL of them, we didn't tell this Film Producer to put us in his Film, he CHOSE to, he GAVE us our spots & NONE of you can ever take that away from US. Chris Adams made that opportunity happen for us, he selected us, LA STEELE & Miss Lacy. As Chris Adams told us hundreds of times....

As a Ringside Wrestling Manager, I was the Wrestler's "gimmick". I also had my own "gimmick". In fact, Miss Lacy became notoriouly infamous for her trusty WHIP during the length of my career, I WHIPPED ALOT OF FAMOUS ASS'S OVER THE YEARS, both in & around of the Ring. Some of those BIG whining boyz didn't like little ole me to...
In 1998, "GENTLEMAN" Chris Adams while on his last run stretch of Independant road shows, during his pre-WCW days, hooked up with a self made Monster Truck Promoter and booked a BBOW Wrestling Promotion in North Platte, Nebraska for a weekend. Little did any of us know that Jake Roberts was bringing along a Film Producer Barry Blaustein, who was in the midst of filming his wrestling documentary, BEYOND THE MAT. The hand picked "MAIN EVENT" for the evening, before a SOLD OUT Colliseum of at least 6,000 Wrestling Fans...Jake "THE SNAKE" Roberts & "GENTLEMAN" Chris Adams ~VS~ Greg "THE HAMMER" Valentine & LA STEELE, Managed Ringside by Miss Lacy. Miss Lacy, known for her "hair gimmicks" in the Ring...the deed was done...as Jake sneered at LA STEELE, suffering Jake's DDT, Jake's SNAKE laying atop LA's breathless chest, Miss Lacy rolls into the Ring & courageously grabs Jake's 8 foot Python by the tail & just as she begins to pull the Python off of LA's chest, Jake suddenly jumps to attention & lunges at Miss Lacy! I couldn't run fast enough to get away from him! Jake caught the very tip of my long blond wig & RIPPED MY HAIR OFF OF MY HEAD!!! Before a crowd of 6,000 screaming Fans, Jake "THE SNAKE" Roberts shook a fist full of blond hair, as Miss Lacy rolled out of the Ring to Tag Partner Greg Valentine, who graciously took his Robe to cover the humiliated head of Miss Lacy and the 3 of them, left the Ring in defeat. A Shining moment for the "SNAKE" & the "GENTLEMAN"... never to be forgotten.
