Velvet Sky Says TNA Hall Of Fame Nod Was A Surprise To The Beautiful People, ‘We Were Not Expecting It At All’
Velvet Sky got worked.
On September 24, the world of wrestling was surprised with a huge announcement from TNA, as the company revealed that The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky) will be inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame at Bound For Glory.
As it turns out, this news was a complete shock to Love and Sky. Speaking with SoCalVal for a new interview, Velvet Sky recalled the first call that she got from Dreamer.
“Tommy Dreamer, he got us good. When he originally reached out and asked, he reached out to both Angelina and I and said that he wanted us to be a part of Bound For Glory this year. To me, it was like a no-brainer, immediately yes because that’s where Angelina and I got our start in TNA so Bound For Glory holds a special place in my life and in my heart because it’s where we started. He told us over the phone what they were looking for her and I to do on the show, come out, talk on the microphone during the girls segment, blah blah blah, hit the music. Play the bird and then leave, like classic. We were like, ‘Yeah, sounds great. Let’s do it.’ Then, he mentioned a meet and greet. We were just excited enough for that. Lowell, they always had the hot crowd. If you remember Lockdown 08, that was in Lowell so that news was exciting just to be a part of it.”
Sky then said that Dreamer was able to disguise the announcement by saying that they were doing an interview about the history of Bound For Glory.
“Then, I remember Dreamer had asked her and I to do an interview cause they said they were interviewing a bunch of people in the company about the history of Bound For Glory and what it means to you. The way he staged it, it was like a package was going to be put together with a bunch of TNA alumni and current stars, just getting their two cents on how they feel about TNA and Bound For Glory.”
Sky went on to recall Carlos Silva joining the call and breaking the news.
“We were not expecting it at all. He’s in the middle of question number three and then all of the sudden out of nowhere, Carlos Silva comes on and we still didn’t think anything of it. We’re still just like, ‘Oh, hey Carlos, so nice to meet you.’ He’s just like, ‘Girls, thank you for agreeing to be a part of Bound For Glory, it’s the biggest night. You guys are legends in your own right, we’re happy to have you.’ We’re just telling him that we’re so excited to be there and thank you for having us and then out of the blue he was like, we want you to come and be inducted into the 2025 TNA Hall Of Fame. I immediately just started balling because literally nothing catches me off guard. I can usually sniff anything like that that might be going on anywhere but I was not expecting that at all. Angelina and I, we both just teared up. It was just so exciting, my heart was racing out of excitement. Carlos was thrilled being on the call, ear to ear smiles all around.”
