Velvet Sky Reveals Surprise on Learning About the Beautiful People’s TNA Hall of Fame Induction

During a recent interview with So Cal Val for WrestlingNews.co, former TNA Knockouts World Champion Velvet Sky discussed learning her surprise about her TNA Hall of Fame induction and how Tommy Dreamer worked her over the announcement. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Velvet Sky on Tommy Dreamer asking her and Angelina Love to be part of Bound for Glory this year: “Tommy Dreamer, he got us good. When he originally reached out and asked, he reached out to both Angelina and I and said that he wanted us to be a part of Bound For Glory this year. To me, it was like a no-brainer, immediately yes because that’s where Angelina and I got our start in TNA so Bound For Glory holds a special place in my life and in my heart because it’s where we started. He told us over the phone what they were looking for her and I to do on the show, come out, talk on the microphone during the girls segment, blah blah blah, hit the music. Play the bird and then leave, like classic. We were like, ‘Yeah, sounds great. Let’s do it.’ Then, he mentioned a meet and greet. We were just excited enough for that. Lowell, they always had the hot crowd. If you remember Lockdown 08, that was in Lowell so that news was exciting just to be a part of it.”

On Dreamer disguising the announcement: “Then, I remember Dreamer had asked her and I to do an interview cause they said they were interviewing a bunch of people in the company about the history of Bound For Glory and what it means to you. The way he staged it, it was like a package was going to be put together with a bunch of TNA alumni and current stars, just getting their two cents on how they feel about TNA and Bound For Glory.”

Sky on Carlos Silva joining the call to make announcement: “We were not expecting it at all. He’s in the middle of question number three and then all of the sudden out of nowhere, Carlos Silva comes on and we still didn’t think anything of it. We’re still just like, ‘Oh, hey Carlos, so nice to meet you.’ He’s just like, ‘Girls, thank you for agreeing to be a part of Bound For Glory, it’s the biggest night. You guys are legends in your own right, we’re happy to have you.’ We’re just telling him that we’re so excited to be there and thank you for having us and then out of the blue he was like, we want you to come and be inducted into the 2025 TNA Hall Of Fame. I immediately just started balling because literally nothing catches me off guard. I can usually sniff anything like that that might be going on anywhere but I was not expecting that at all. Angelina and I, we both just teared up. It was just so exciting, my heart was racing out of excitement. Carlos was thrilled being on the call, ear to ear smiles all around.”
