Deonna Purrazzo wants to continue to change women's wrestling.
Deonna Purrazzo has been a part of numerous historic moments in IMPACT Wrestling, from Iron Man Matches, Texas Death Match pay-per-view headliners, and more. The "Age of Virtuosa" has changed the game for the Knockouts division and women's wrestling as a whole.
In an interview with PWMania, the current IMPACT Knockouts Champion discussed her long desire to change women's wrestling for the better, and the history she's made along her journey.
"For me, it was always my goal to change women’s wrestling. There are not very many firsts left. To be the first-ever, and only, Iron Women in IMPACT Wrestling is special, and history-making. That’s what everyone’s goal should be. You don’t get into something to be mediocre at it. You want to be the best, you want to be the champion, and make history. I wanted to do that from a young age. To be in a position after years, and years of struggle, to come into IMPACT Wrestling and win the Knockouts World Championship and become the first-ever Iron Women at Impact, and to just make all this history and ground-breaking moments, lit a fire under all of our butts. All of the Knockouts saw that we were getting all these first-ever moments, like the first-ever Ironman match, the first-ever Ultimate-X match, Mickie James, and I main event a pay-per-view which was another first-ever moment. It really showed the world that there’s still a lot of work to be done and a lot of history for the Knockouts to participate in and make," said Purrazzo.
The Virtuosa recently noted she'd like to be Champ-Champ again in IMPACT. Read more at this link.
