Deonna Purrazzo Comments on Adjusting From TNA to AEW Career

A recent episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast featured Deonna Purrazzo as the guest. One of the topics discussed Purrazzo’s thoughts about the differences in working in Impact/TNA Wrestling and AEW and adjusting to her new career in AEW.

“I really just think it’s been the scale of the company. IMPACT was IMPACT when I was there, it’s officially TNA now. I don’t want to say it’s a skelton crew, but it is. Everyone has multiple jobs, we’re in smaller venues, there are smaller crowds. If I need to fix my travel, there’s one person that does that. If I need comp tickets for my family, there’s one person that does that and I think adjusting to not knowing who is what department and who to go to for whatever question I have, and just the scale of production here in AEW is such a difference for me.”

Adam Copeland Comments on Importance of Having Different Options in Wrestling for Consumers

Sports Illustrated held a recent interview with Adam Copeland. One of the topics discussed included Copeland’s thoughts about the importance of having different options available in wrestling for consumers and fans.

“Any time there is more than one place to ply your trade, that’s good for everyone who is part of that trade. A monopoly is never a good idea. That goes for me as a consumer, too.

As a consumer, I want more choices. That doesn’t mean you have to choose one over the other. You can choose them all. I remember growing up and dying to be able to get my hands on NWA tapes. It didn’t air where I lived, where there was WWF. I found International Wrestling from Montreal. I found All-Star Wrestling from Vancouver. I found all these other shows, and I loved that. I’d get little snippets of guys I’d only seen in magazines. Then the show Pro Wrestling Plus with Ed Whalen, who was the announcer for Stampede, started, and I finally got to see wrestlers from the NWA and Continental. I just thought, give it all to me.

That’s why AEW is great. It’s so cool to see different wrestling. This is really special, and I’m having a blast being here.”
