Forget reality television -- former "Jersey Shore" star Angelina has found her calling ... and we're told, it involves fighting gorgeous women in a wrestling ring while thousands of people watch.
Sources close to Angelina tell TMZ, it all started after her appearance on TNA last week -- Angie had the most incredible time getting choked out by a smoking hot blonde chick ... and now she's hooked on suplexes and sleeper holds.
According to sources, she's already taking her new career ambitions extremely seriously -- in fact, the former "Jersey" girl is all set to begin training next Tuesday at the Independent Wrestling Federation in West Paterson, NJ.
It starts out pretty basic -- holds, how to take a fall, etc. -- but the schedule is pretty grueling ... four days a week.
So far, no word on any long-term deal with TNA or WWE.

The guy who infamously punched Snooki in the face back in the early days of "Jersey Shore" has had such a tough time finding work since the incident ... he's had to hit up Uncle Sam for a job.
Brad Ferro pled guilty to one charge of simple assault, paid a $500 fine and served six months probation back in 2009 for the Punch Heard 'Round the Shore.
His dad tells the NY Post Brad hasn't been able to find work, so he's now in training to be a Cavalry Scout -- which, according to GoArmy.com, means he's "the commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield."
If we ever invade Seaside Heights, he's our guy.

She doesn't have a catchy nickname or any discernible talent, but that's not stopping "Jersey Shore" cast member Deena Nicole Cortese from positioning herself to make a little dough off her newfound fame.
TMZ has learned Deena has applied for a trademark on the name "Deena Nicole" -- and the logo shown above -- under the category of wearable garments and clothing (such as shirts, pants, hats, lingerie and outerwear).
We're told Deena doesn't have any specific deals lined up, but is just trying to be smart by securing the trademark now ... just in case.
For once it seems Snooki and Jwoww have set a good example.

She's made a TON of cash in the last few years -- but Snooki claims she's never written a real check before in her life ... and now she's gonna exploit the hell out of her bank ignorance on her upcoming spin-off.
It's just another one of the jewels we discovered in the rundown of Snooks' new show -- "Snooki and Jwoww Vs. The World" ... yes, that's the actual working title.
According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, one of the big scenes takes place inside of a Jersey bank, when Papa Snooki tries to teach the 23-year-old how to fill out a check book.
When Snooki ... who's reportedly banking $30k per ep ... finally opens her first checking account -- she asks the banker, "Do you have any blinged out checks?"
The rundown explains, "She gets a crash course in balancing her checkbook ... but adding and subtracting from the ledger proves too much for her."
Shocker.
