TNA announced via social media that Mickie James would be joined by The Beautiful People to comprise an all-women’s class in 2025 for the TNA Hall of Fame.
Velvet Sky and Angelina Love, who teamed together in in various runs between 2007 and 2015 in the company, responded to the news with gratitude during an appearance on Busted Open Radio.
Love noted the level of surprise she had in being honored:
I may mention this in my speech as well, spoiler alert. But I kind of had a bucket list when I first got into wrestling, but being in a Hall of Fame was never on that bucket list and I think it’s because I didn’t even think that was attainable. So, I’ve been able to be honored with something that is beyond what I ever could achieve in this business so, it is incredibly cool. It is so cool and it’s such an honor too.
Sky talked about the legacy of the duo being “cemented and forever etched in TNA history,” adding:
I mean, it’s so nice to be recognized and to be honored by the company that gave us our shot, that gave us our big break. Not only as The Beautiful People but as individuals too; Velvet Sky, Angelina Love. We’ve accomplished so much as a tag team. Always hoped, one day, TNA would give us this highest honor.
It’s just one of the most humbling honors and experiences of my career and our career personally, professionally. It’s what you work your whole youth for in hopes to just have your legacy be recognized and cemented and honored, and forever in company history so it is a huge honor and humbling experience for us both and we are so excited about October 12th.
The ceremony honoring this year’s Hall of Fame class takes place the same day as Bound For Glory, emanating from the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
