IMPACT Wrestling star Sami Callihan appeared on an episode of the Women’s Wrestling Talk podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he believes former 3-time IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Deonna Purrazzo is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world.
Callihan said, “You want to talk about one of the best technical wrestlers in the world. Deonna Purrazzo has to be up there, male or female. Any ethnicity, any way of life, Deonna Purrazzo – when it comes down to pound-for-pound for professional wrestlers, is one of the best technical wrestlers on the planet. Like I say that all the time.”
Callihan also talked about how it shouldn’t be called Intergender Wrestling anymore and how women facing men inside of a squared circle should just be called professional wrestling at this point.
“Look, I’ve said this many times, many interviews before. I don’t even think you should be called intergender wrestling at this point. There’s just professional wrestling. You look at Marvel, you look at DC, you look at all these different things and pop culture, and that’s extremely relevant right now, and when you see Black Widow fighting the Incredible Hulk or Miss Marvel fighting Loki or whoever I know that’s not the people they fight but you get the explanation. Like it’s not called intergender fighting in the superhero realm, and I think professional wrestling is the exact same thing. I think it should just be called professional wrestling at this point.”
