Kayfabe!: Missy Hyatt’s Pajama Party with Lacey Von Erich and Amy Lee  

KAYFABE!
Missy Hyatt’s Pajama Party with Lacey Von Erich and Amy Lee

Shoot interviews have given us hardcore fans of the business, specifically the inner workings of it, some fascinating and entertaining looks behind the curtain. Kayfabe Commentaries in particular, through innovative concepts like YouShoot and Guest Booker have provided fans with some very interesting looks into the business. This is not one of those instances.

Missy Hyatt hosts a Pajama party with current TNA Beautiful Person Lacey Von Erich and female indy wrestler Amy Lee, we’re a fly on the wall while they drink beer, liquor, and basically gab about whatever seems to pop into their heads. This isn’t bad visually, because Missy doesn’t look too bad (honest), and if you look ‘Smoking’ up in the dictionary, there will be a photo of Lacey. But the main problem is that, well, it’s three women together. I might be letting some great big cat out of the bag, but women like to talk, so this is all three of them usually talking at the same time and there’s no sort of flow to what they talk about. One second they’re talking about an indy fed Lacey and Amy worked for and the next thing you know they’re singing South Park songs. Luckily, there are a few times that Amy steps aside and leave Missy and Lacey so that Lacey can talk, because Lacey has some great things to say.

If you’re like me, a huge fan of the business and its history, then you’ll appreciate a lot of what Lacey has to say. She talks about growing up in Texas during the WCCW heyday with a very famous father. She tells a story about the family going out for dinner and fans approaching Kerry, and Kerry, just being a nice guy, invited the fans to sit down and have dinner with them. Considering how most people’s only memories of WCCW during that time seem to be that the Von Erich boys were all high on drugs and treated like kings (none of which I’m trying to deny or disprove, mind you) it was nice to hear a nice story about him. Lacey also tells the story of the last time she saw her father, which was the night he was arrested and the night before he committed suicide. I give her infinite props for getting into that sort of thing, on what’s basically meant to be a joke DVD.

Lacey also speaks at length about how she got into the business, her training in FCW, and delves into why she chose to leave the WWE. She realized that the nanny she’d hired was more or less taking over as her child’s mother and was also smart enough to look at the surroundings and realize that she could potentially be in developmental for years and left so she could be a mother first. Finally she talks a bit about working with Jimmy Hart and Wrestlicious, which has the exact same production crew and director as GLOW.

Joke or not, this is certainly entertaining. The girls make prank phone calls, Missy wants a pregnant Dawn Marie to fly to Paris for a match shortly before having her baby. Lacey calls Honky Tonk Man and pretends to be Dixie Carter’s secretary and wants to know if HTM is interested in doing an angle with “Jeff Jerott” and even offers him $200! They also play a round of the YouShoot favorite, F-Marry-Kill, where the girls are given three names (HTM, New Jack, and Iron Sheik) and decide which they’d fuck, which they’d marry, and which they’d kill. After Missy confesses that she’d marry New Jack, because he gets a monthly paycheck, Jack actually runs in and surprises them, to end on a funny note.

The 411: This is pretty short, clocking in at about 80 minutes. The comments and stories from Lacey are really good, and the "girly" stuff like the prank calls is funny. It's a bit of a mixed bag though, some will love this and other will hate it with a passion.
 
Final Score:  7.0   [ Good ]  legend
