Angel Williams (born September 13 1981) is a Canadian professional wrestler and valet currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring name Angelina Love.
Career
Angel debuted in wrestling in 2000, working for independent promotions around Canada. She was first a valet for various wrestlers such as Chris Sabin and Eric Young and then began to train under Rob Fuego to become a wrestler, as well. She was working for promotions around America when World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) spotted her and signed her to a developmental contract. After being let go from her developmental contract in May 2007, Williams resurfaced in Mexico's Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) promotion under the name Canadian Angel on June 10 2007.[2] Angel has also appeared on an episode of The Jenny Jones Show about former geeks turned into physical competitors.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Deep South Wrestling
Williams began managing Johnny Parisi in the summer of 2005. On September 8 2005, Angel won her first match in Deep South by defeating Michelle McCool. On September 22, Angel was scheduled to wrestle against McCool, but Michelle never showed up. Instead Daisy Mae came out and challenged Angel. Williams was injured at the February 9, 2006 DSW TV Tapings, but she still managed to participate in the first ever Bikini Contest in DSW. She didn't reveal her bikini because Palmer Cannon interrupted, which led to a match that featured him and Tommy Dreamer. During the match she couldn't physically get involved, so she walked backstage. On February 28, she underwent knee surgery to repair her torn ACL. By September 2006, Angel had recovered from her knee injury and returned to DSW that fall.
During November 2006, Angel started managing The Gymini. This didn't last long due to The Gymini being released from their contracts in January 2007. Angel then got in a feud with General Manager of DSW, Krissy Vaine, after she made Angel lose her matches due to distractions by other Deep South Divas. At one point Angel had enough and even attacked Vaine in her office. At the March 15 2007 Deep South TV Tapings Angel aligned herself again with Vaine and was promoted the Co-GM of Deep South Wrestling. When Deep South Wrestling shut down in April, Angel was moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling.
Ohio Valley Wrestling
Williams made her Ohio Valley Wrestling debut in a dark match at the May 16 2007 television taping in Louisville, Kentucky, defeating Serena. However she was released from her developmental contract one day later.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
Angel briefly worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in 2003 and 2004, mainly on Xplosion. Three years later in September 2007, she was contacted again by TNA to appear at their annual pay-per-view Bound for Glory, which was confirmed on the October 9 edition of TNA Today where she was interviewed by Jeremy Borash. At Bound For Glory, Williams participated in a 10 Knockout Gauntlet to crown the first TNA Women's Champion. During the match, she was eliminated by Gail Kim and O.D.B., and the match was won in the end by Kim. At Genesis, Angel competed in a 4-Way Match for the TNA Women's Championship with Kim retaining her title.
For trademark purposes, Angel began competing under the ring name Angelina Love. Love has since formed a partnership with Velvet Sky, calling themselves "Velvet Love Entertainment". The duo defeated ODB and Roxxi Laveaux at Turning Point in a Knockouts Tag Team Match.
