IMPACT Wrestling Star Deonna Purrazzo appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a variety of topics such as how getting released from the WWE was the most humbling experience of her career because that would lead to her having to go back to the drawing board and figure things out.
Deonna Purrazzo said:
“I think it (most humbling experience of my career) was getting released from WWE and just having to kind of go back to the drawing board and figure out — we talked about it. ‘Do I even want to be a wrestler? Do I have a passion for this anymore?’ And kind of just having to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and be like, find my passion again and then find the ability to find my confidence.”
Deonna Purrazzo also talked about how she had zero confidence when she arrived in IMPACT Wrestling as well as how she even talked with Tommy Dreamer and Scott D'Amore about it.
Deonna Purrazzo said:
“I had zero confidence when I came into IMPACT and you know, Tommy (Dreamer) and I talked about it, Scott D’Amore and I talked about it. I was this lost puppy that didn’t know who she was or what she could do and I needed someone to believe in me so I could maybe believe in myself and I think that-that reality is the most humbling of like, I’m not all I thought I was.”
Deonna Purrazzo then talked about how she went into NXT with a lot of hype from the indies and with a big head because of what she was able to accomplish in the past.
Deonna Purrazzo said:
“I went into NXT with all this indie hype, but I’d just been able to travel the world and I worked with WWE in so many different ways up until that point that maybe I went in with a little bit of a big head like, hey, I deserve to be here. I proved I deserved to be here and it was like, b*tch, you don’t deserve anything and you know, that was the really humbling experience of like, okay, what do I do to prove myself again and find if I love this?”
