Kelly Kelly's first gig in WWE was to dance seductively on ECW and strip down to her underwear for the ogling audience. It was the kind of thing that wouldn't fly in WWE today, but it was something Kelly said on 'Chasing Glory' she considered a "foot in the door".

Her family felt the same, at least about the chance to perform on C-brand ECW. It turns out they didn't know she'd be dancing half naked, or that she'd be removing her bra before on-screen boyfriend Mike Knox stormed out to cancel the scene. That entire segment was a complete surprise to them.

Daddy Kelly must've been delighted.

After the show, Kelly soothed her worried folks by telling them the storyline would only be temporary. She reminded them of their own "foot in the door" positivity, and said WWE's ever-changing product meant she wouldn't be dancing in her smalls for long.
