Summary

Deonna Purrazzo praised Steve Maclin’s long-term upside in wrestling production during a new interview.

Purrazzo and Maclin have been married since November 2022. Since then, Purrazzo has won two singles titles, while Maclin has won six singles championships.

Steve Maclin’s producer track could shape TNA talent development

Steve Maclin already working with Lance Storm in TNA creates a clear path for him to influence younger wrestlers, because Purrazzo described him as a constant idea generator and a serious student of the craft.

Purrazzo also said she is jealous of the wrestlers who will work with him when that next phase arrives, which signals she expects his in-ring knowledge to translate into coaching value once he shifts further into producing.

Quote from Deonna Purrazzo

His brain doesn’t stop and I have to be like, ‘Whoa, turn it off. We’re at home. Wrestling’s not on the TV. Relax,’ you know? He’s texting and his opponents and, ‘What about this?’ and wants to pitch a million ideas and it’s like, ‘Dude.’

Deonna Purrazzo later went on to say:

But he has trained under some of the best people in the world, and he’s working with Lance Storm at TNA right now and Ace Steel, and he trained with Robbie Brookside and Norman Smiley and Terry Taylor. So he’s just been around so many great minds and he’s a real student and he’s like, ‘I’ll do what you tell me to do and if it works, I’m going to keep it.’ So I really look forward to that day. He’s not at the end of his career and he has so much more to do and he’s in his mind, he’s 20 years old still. But when that day does come, I’m jealous of those kids that get to work with him.
