Are you sitting comfortably children? Aunty Melanie is here to read you a bedtime story. There was once a Diva, trained in the deep mountains of Florida. She was destined to be a super-Diva. Claimed to be faster, stronger and more agile than all your household names: Beth Phoenix, Trish Stratus, Gail Kim. Meet Angela Fong…
WWE developmental performer Angela Fong is said to have the most potential at this stage of training of any WWE women’s wrestler in a quite some time. Fong’s athleticism is far and away above any of the women on the current roster, including the likes of Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix or former WWE Diva Trish Stratus, who were accomplished athletes before joining the wrestling business. Although it should be noted that Fong is a former gymnast and cheerleader. Fong is said to be significantly better at the same stage of training as Gail Kim was, not to mention actually significantly better athletically that Kim even is now. With that being said, Fong is by no means close to ready for television matches in WWE, although she has started getting feet wet in Florida Championship Wrestling after starting out as a manager. Fong’s pure athleticism is said to be on the level of the top Japanese women’s wrestlers, and she does things like bridging out of pins and moves reminiscent of that style and era. Fong, now simply going under the name Miss Angela in FCW, tried out for the 2007 WWE Diva Search, but didn’t make the final cut. WWE would later sign Fong to a developmental contract in February 2008.
That is a very tall order indeed. I barely know what to say, to be honest. I have heard some good things about Fong in recent months, but wow… Just wow. Really?
