During a recent episode of the “Straight Talk Wrestling” podcast, Steve Maclin, a former TNA World Champion, shared insights about his wife, renowned AEW wrestler Deonna Purrazzo. He also discussed the challenge of not working in the same setting with her.
Some key takeaways from the podcast are detailed below:
When asked if not sharing the same working environment as his wife is challenging, Maclin said, “In some ways it is, but in others it isn’t. Watching her recapture her passion on a new stage is exhilarating. After reaching substantial success in TNA — now known as IMPACT — as a serial world champion and one-half of the Knockouts tag team champions, she now has to redefine herself for a new fanbase at AEW.”
Maclin seemed quite thrilled about perceiving Purrazzo’s renewed zest at AEW. He remarked, “Her relit spirit is amazing to witness. She’s fervently chasing her spot. She always had the drive, but now there’s a new surge of energy in her pursuit, a deeper drive. I thoroughly enjoy watching this, because that is the ethos of our household. We strive to be the best in what we undertake.”
