On this day in history:
May 11th, 2008 | At 2008′s Sacrifice, the Knockouts took part in a Makeover Battle Royal, the winner becoming the number one contender to Awesome Kong‘s Knockouts Title. A Battle Royal would take place, and the final two competitors (Gail Kim and Roxxi Laveaux) would then compete in a Ladder match, the loser having her head shaved. Complicating matters a bit more was the fact that Gail had won immunity on Impact, so even if she lost, she wouldn’t lose her hair. Angelina Love, the last woman eliminated from the Battle Royal, would take her place in the barber’s chair. Therefore, Angelina did all she could to ensure that Gail won, and her efforts succeeded. Gail won the match and became the number one contender, while Roxxi was forced to have her head shaved.
