Biography:
Initially known as Talia Madison, Velvet Sky found her first success in TNA as part of the lovable and adoring Velvet Love Entertainment with the Canadian sexy blonde Angelina Love. However, the two quickly became mean and vicious and called themselves Beautiful People. They considered themselves to be the most beautiful women of TNA and would embarrass other Knockouts by putting paper bags on their faces. Beautiful People dominated the Knockout division in TNA for nearly two years until Velvet Sky left the company and moved onto a singles career. Sky has proven the fans that she can continue on her own by enjoying a reign as the TNA Knockouts Championship and has engaged in battles with some of the top Knockouts of the company.
