EXCLUSIVE
Lacey Von Erich — part of the legendary Von Erich wrestling family — says she was forbidden to date wrestlers by her family … because the profession is riddled with drug addiction and suicide.
We got Lacey — who’s developing a female wrestling league with Hulk Hogan‘s daughter, Brooke — and she talked to us about her childhood crush on The Rock … pretty fun stuff.
Lacey then opened up why she’s glad they did — her father, Kerry, along with his brothers, Chris and Mike, committed suicide … and her other uncle, David, died of a suspected drug overdose … pretty rough stuff.
