Professional wrestling career
= Early career (2000-2004) =
She debuted in wrestling on February 29, 2000, in Hardcore Wrestling Federation in Ontario, Canada, and she wrestled in various independent promotions around Canada under the ring name Angel Williams. Her all-time favorite wrestler Shawn Michaels was her inspiration to get into wrestling. She was first a valet for various wrestlers such as Chris Sabin and Eric Young, and then began in-ring training under Rob Fuego.
= Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004) =
Williams briefly worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in 2004, mainly wrestling on TNA Xplosion against Trinity.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2004/12/22/794113.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130115073652/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2004/12/22/794113.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=January 15, 2013|title=WWE deal pending for Angel Williams|date=December 22, 2004|last=Oliver|first=Greg|access-date=January 21, 2009|publisher=SLAM! Sports}}
= World Wrestling Entertainment (2004–2007) =
== Deep South Wrestling (2004–2007) ==
Williams was working for promotions in the United States when World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) scouted her, and invited her to a tryout in June 2004. In November, she trained at WWE's then-developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), and WWE signed her to a contract in late 2004. She was assigned to wrestle and train in another WWE developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling (DSW). Williams began managing Johnny Parisi in the summer of 2005. On the September 8, 2005, episode of DSW TV, Williams made her in-ring debut by defeating Michelle McCool. On September 22, Williams was scheduled to wrestle against McCool, but MCcool never showed up. Instead Daisy Mae came out, challenged Williams and Williams defeated Mae in a singles match. At the February 9, 2006, episode of DSW TV, Williams participated in the first ever Bikini Contest in DSW. She did not reveal her bikini because Palmer Cannon interrupted, which led to a match, where Love managed Cannon against Tommy Dreamer. On February 28, she underwent knee surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, to repair a torn ACL. After almost seven months of rehab, she stepped back into the ring at a DSW TV taping. At the beginning of November 2006, Williams started managing The Gymini, but The Gymini were released from their contracts in January 2007.
Williams then began a feud with General Manager of DSW, Krissy Vaine, with Williams claiming that Vaine did something immoral to be appointed General Manager. Over the next couple of weeks, Vaine would cost Williams her matches by forcing other DSW Divas into interfering in Williams's matches. On the January 4 episode of DSW TV, Williams defeated the debuting Brooke Adams, with Vaine on commentary. On the January 11 episode of DSW TV', Williams competed against Shantelle Taylor in a losing effort. On the January 18 episode of DSW TV, Williams teamed up with Shantelle in a winning effort, defeating Luscious and Tracy Taylor in a tag-team match. On the February 8 episode of DSW TV, Williams defeated Krissy Vaine by disqualification after The Bag Lady attacked Williams. Immediately following the match, Vaine ordered the match to restart, resulting in Vaine pinning Williams. The following week, Williams got a measure of revenge by defeating The Bag Lady. On the April 5, 2007, episode of DSW TV, Williams accompanied Vaine to a match, where she defeated Nattie Neidhart after interference from Williams. Over the following weeks, Williams teamed up with Vaine against Neidhart and Shantelle Taylor, losing to them on several occasions. The storyline, however, came to an end when Deep South Wrestling shut down in April.
== Ohio Valley Wrestling (2007) ==
After DSW shut down, Williams was moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling. Williams made her OVW debut in a dark match at the May 16, 2007, television tapings in Louisville, Kentucky, defeating Serena.{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/ovw/_2007/|title=May 16, 2007–OVW TV Tapings|date=May 16, 2007|access-date=January 21, 2009|publisher=Online World Of Wrestling|archive-date=December 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181222101647/http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/ovw/_2007|url-status=live}} Two days later, Williams was released from her developmental contract.

Love made her debut for Great Canadian Wrestling (GCW) on December 27, 2011, at the Season's Beatings event in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, where she teamed up with Shawn Spears in a losing effort to Seleziya Sparx and Brent Banks in a mixed-tag-team match.{{cite web|title=Matches = Angelina Love = Wrestlers Database = CAGEMATCH|url=http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=1781&page=4|publisher=CAGEMATCH|access-date=January 20, 2013|archive-date=April 13, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413171936/http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=1781&page=4|url-status=live}} Love made her debut for Indian promotion Ring Ka King on March 18, 2012, where she defeated Alissa Flash. After the match, Love began a storyline in which she was being pursued by Romeo and Zoravar. On the April 4 episode of Ring Ka King, Love defeated Raisha and Alissa Flash in a triple-treat match. Following the match, Romeo came to the ring with a gift for Love, but Zoravar would out-do Romeo by giving Love jewelry and a car. On the April 14 episode of Ring Ka King, Love defeated Raisha in a singles match. Following the match, Zoravar confessed that he was in love with Love. On September 22, 2012, during her time with TNA, Love and Velvet Sky reunited as The Beautiful People at a Northeast Wrestling event, where they were defeated by Madison Rayne and Rosita.{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/27616-notes-from-the-northeast-wrestling-show-9-22-fishkill-ny-updated|title=Notes from the Northeast Wrestling show 9–22 Fishkill, NY (updated)|last=Gillott|first=Geoff|author2=Strum, Phil|date=September 22, 2012|access-date=October 2, 2012|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter|archive-date=July 12, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712172506/http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/27616-notes-from-the-northeast-wrestling-show-9-22-fishkill-ny-updated|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/quicknews/article_63860.shtml|title=Beautiful People re-uniting post-TNA|last=Caldwell|first=James|date=July 31, 2012|access-date=October 2, 2012|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=November 3, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103225606/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/quicknews/article_63860.shtml|url-status=live}}

Adopting the personas of superficial prima donnas, who loathe and insult anyone they consider to be physically unattractive, they dropped the Velvet-Love Entertainment moniker and became The Beautiful People.

Love and Sky were oblivious to The Governor being an imposter, resulting in some comedy skits where Kip tried to convince them they were being fooled while others mocked their stupidity. The Governor, meanwhile, convinced the duo that they would have a makeover that would make them worthy of her cabinet; the makeover involved frumpy clothes, no make-up and unstyled hair. On January 15, Taylor Wilde and Roxxi revealed that it had all been a ruse to humiliate The Beautiful People who, in Wilde's opinion, were making a mockery of TNA's women's division. After this they had mud dropped on them from the ceiling.{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_29295.shtml|title=TNA Impact Report 1/15: Styles vs. Angle the scheduled main event, Sarah Palin exposed as a fake, Hernandez cashes in World Title shot|last=Keller|first=Wade|date=January 16, 2009|publisher=PWTorch|access-date=September 8, 2009|archive-date=December 17, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217084900/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_29295.shtml|url-status=live}} The following week, The Beautiful People brutally attacked Spruill backstage until Kip stopped them after a sufficient beating.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/01/23/8122026.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120630074406/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/01/23/8122026.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 30, 2012|title=Impact: Mafia dominates yet again|last=Sokol|first=Brian|author2=Sokol, Chris|date=January 23, 2009|work=Slam!

Love narrowly escaped a somersault leg drop from Kong, and as she was recovering Love pushed her towards the cage while Sky pulled her frayed hair through the holes in the cage and tied her to it. With Kong unable to move from the cage, Wilde dove onto Love with a cross body press and legitimately knocked her unconscious with her knee.

On May 28, Love defended her title again against Sojourner Bolt with all of her associates at ringside. After quickly defeating Bolt, Love questioned why Cute Kip was still appearing with them and officially fired him from the group.
