Philly.com‘s Vaughn Johnson recently spoke with Deonna Purrazzo, who is preparing for the third annual ECWA Women’s Super 8 ChickFight tournament this Saturday.

Purrazzo talks about Ring Of Honor embracing women’s wrestling with Women Of Honor: 

“I think Ring of Honor as a company has really embraced women’s wrestling. It’s something they’ve done before, but it never really stuck. Now, they’re really pushing to give us our own brand and give us our own identities as characters and storylines, things that are really going to have people really invested in each of us.”

Purrazzo comments on working for several different national promotions and how it has helped her: 

“I think that being able to do NXT, TNA and Ring of Honor and work all of these is just making me a better wrestler. It’s making me have more experience in what I’m doing. In the long run that’s going to help me.”

“In the long run, eventually yeah, I would definitely like to cement my spot in one of these places, but right now, it’s fun to be able to do what I’m doing and still be able to do the independent shows. I’m scheduled to do a tour of Japan next year and if I was contracted somewhere I wouldn’t be able to jump on every opportunity that I get.”
