Purrazzo Reflects on the Evolution of Women’s wrestling
Deonna Purrazzo recently discussed the notable advancements in women’s professional wrestling during an appearance on the ”Gabby AF” podcast. She noted the dramatic shift in opportunities over the past decade.”We couldn’t even imagine a Women’s world Championship 10 years ago,” Purrazzo stated. “And now we have a World Championship, a TV Championship, and a Pure Rules Championship.”
Purrazzo expressed amazement at how far she and her peers have come, imagining the reaction of her younger self. “If you asked 20-year-old Deonna, like, her mind is blown, right? Like, no one believed in women in Ring of Honor that much.” she specifically cited Athena’s reign as a testament to this progress. ”And to see that Athena has held the championship for over 1,000 days. She’s on Dynamite, on collision, on pay-per-views now. She’s worked her way up to television with this championship and is putting women on the map. I want to do the same thing.”
Understanding the ROH Pure Championship Ruleset
Both the men’s and women’s Pure Championships within Ring of Honor are designed to showcase technical wrestling prowess. A key feature of these championships is a unique ruleset that restricts the use of rope breaks. Wrestlers are limited in their ability to use the ropes to avoid submissions or pinfalls, emphasizing in-ring skill and strategy. Currently, Lee Moriarty holds the men’s Pure title. ROH Wrestling reported Moriarty’s retention of the title at Final Battle 2023.
