Angelina Love Reveals Nixed WWE Debut, Explains Why She Left Impact
The Pancakes and Powerslams Show interviewed former Knockouts Champion Angelina Love. You can see submitted highlights below.
Having her Smackdown debut canned:
"I was literally sitting, planted in the crowd, with my debut segment on SmackDown next, and I got pulled. My segment got completely cut out, and the people I was supposed to work with went straight into a completely different storyline. In 2006, there were talks about doing something with JBL, but that never happened. Then I had gone back up to SmackDown in August of that year, to do something with Matt Hardy.
"I remember they had me [sitting] in the front row in the crowd. The first segment was Booker T, when he was King Booker, knighting Finlay and Regal. The next segment was Matt Hardy — supposed to go over Psicosis or Super Crazy. I was standing there, so happy and clapping, and he would [come over] and say, 'who's this blonde girl?', and eventually I would end up being his girlfriend. We're like minutes, if not less, of my segment starting, and the guy, the floor manager who planted me, patted me on the shoulder, pulled me over and said 'your segment got cut.' [Eventually] I was told that as soon as the show started, Vince rewrote the whole show."
Leaving Impact:
"Once [Davey Richards and I] had our blow-off match, the writing was on the wall, and I'm just at a point in my life where I'm a mother, I've been with Impact for 10 years. I saw where it was going, and it just was not something that I [was interested in]. Use me full force, because I'm worth it, or I gotta go. I know my worth."
