TNA's Knockout Angelina Love was recently interviewed by Mike Mooneyham of the Charleston Post & Courier. The Beautiful People member said she's confident she would be one of the top divas in WWE right now had they evaluated her talent correctly when she was in WWE's OVW developmental system a few years ago. "I was probably the most talented girl they had in developmental, but they were more interested in hiring Hooters girls and models and putting them on TV without any experience."
Angelina tore her ACL and was out of action for 10 months during her time at OVW and feels she wasn't given another chance to prove herself. "They had me up at TV for a few ideas but it never panned out, and I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason," Angelina said. "So obviously there's a reason why my first run in WWE didn't work. We'll see what happens in the future."
Any Knockouts even considering a move to the WWE is risking career suicide. As a woman wrestler in WWE, your wrestling skills come second to your physical appearance, and they could care less whether or not you can pull a moonsault off the top rope. They'd much sooner give the title to whoever draws the most money from Playboy.
Angelina Love would be wise to remain loyal to the company that gave her notoriety, as the Beautiful People will almost always remain in the picture at TNA. With the WWE, they'll have her jobbing out with all the other heel divas on a weekly basis, jeopardizing her entire career.
Good call Luminaire, it's obvious Beth Pheonix has been champion most of the year for her looks.
And despite holding the belt for months, she has yet to be involved in a single credible feud or storyline. Instead, she's the sidekick for a weekly comedy routine on Raw. If WWE showed any concern for their women's division, you'd be seeing a lot more of a Mickie James/Beth Pheonix storyline.
The Beautiful People are a waste of time. I just fast forward the awful promo's and boring matches they put on. They put more emphasis on sexuality with the Beautiful People then any diva in the WWE. Neither company has a good women's division. Aside from Roxxi, Kong, and to a lesser extent ODB (who apparently doesn't wrestle at the moment but instead host a fucking talk show),none of them are any different from the diva's in the WWE.

Their emphasis on sexuality may be their gimmick: copying the MO of WWE's women 'division'. I have wondered why they haven't pushed that angle at all because the TNA fans would love it. Most likely because it is not honourable, and the two of them can actually wrestle (love 10x moreso than velvet though).
Angelina is jobbed out in almost every match in TNA.
What in the world are they doing for her?
And in terms of "Playboy looks", I feel like Angelina has "Playboy looks" personally. And she can wrestle!
Angelina doesn't 'job out'. 'Jobbing out' is when he or she is hardly featured, doesn't get to do many promos and gets beaten by everybody and is hardly featured in ppvs.
Now if your beef is that she isn't a dominant force in the ring...well, that's not her current appeal, it isn't her strength. Her strength lies in being sexy, mean, cowardly, treacherous and controversial. It's all about being in character and she is a heel.
And you ask... "what in the world are they doing for her?", well, think back a year an half from now...where was Angelina Love? I didn't know her. I never heard of her, her parter or how beautiful and athletic she was. TNA has made her prominent in pro wrestling.
