Rampage Exclusive: “Cool Hand” Angelo Parker was in the
ring!
Cool Hand Ang: “The last year of my life has been a bit of a
rollercoaster both professionally and personally. A few
months ago, I had to walk away from my mentor, and I lost
some family and some friends. But I gained the love of my
life along the way.
“Unfortunately, because of some of my actions, I lost that
too. Going into the match on Rampage last week, I said it
was a must win for me. I lost against Zack Knight. After the
year that I’ve had, I realized I don’t have a lot of things
to fight for. So, I came out here tonight to announce my…”
Ruby Soho came down to the ring!
Ruby: “I can’t let you do this. No, it breaks my heart to
hear you say you have nothing to fight for. Because I’m out
here to tell you that you have something very important to
fight for. Angelo, I’m pregnant. I didn’t know how to tell
you.”
Parker grabbed Ruby and they kissed!
Cool Hand: “I’m going to be a dad? I love you!”
Ruby: “I love you!”
