Although she is having sexy looks, Angelina Love must not be taken as an easy competitor. She has dominated TNA's Knockout division and has captured the prestigious TNA Knockouts Championship a record five times. She started her TNA career as Angel Williams but quickly became popular as Angelina Love. She has been a part of TNA's earliest Knockouts. She became a part of the lovely and nice tag team Velvet Love Entertainment with Velvet Sky but it did not take them much time to become mean and cocky girls and call themselves Beautiful People. They considered themselves to be the most beautiful women in TNA and would embarrass other Knockouts by putting paper bags over their faces. Love has made a name for herself in the Knockout Division and can give her opponents a very tough time in the ring.
