Deonna Purrazzo comments on fans that chant Marty Scurll's name during her matches

By Greg Bush - March 17, 2019

NXT talent Deonna Purrazzo has already had a pretty strong career at the age of 24. Working for top promotions like Ring of Honor, TNA/Impact, and now WWE, it’s clear she’s got a bright future in the business.

However, The Virtuosa recently took to Twitter to talk about a somewhat common practice in the world of professional wrestling. Essentially, some crowds tend to chant the name of the significant other of a performer.

We’ve seen many times before, and WWE even turned it into a storyline with Tyson Kidd and Natalya, with the former usually hearing “Natalya” and “Natty’s husband” chants.

Purrazzo, who is dating ROH star Marty Scurll, has heard fans chant the Villain’s name at events recently during her matches, prompting her to take matters in her own hands.

I wrestled 4 yrs before I met my boyfriend. Worked for ROH, Impact, WWE/NXT consistently for years, helped create a women’s division & wrestled across the globe before meeting my boyfriend.

If you chant for him while I’m wrestling, you don’t deserve to see me wrestle.

Period 👁

Scurll is a top talent outside of the WWE, but Purrazzo feels that her accolades are enough for fans to appreciate her, and if they don’t, they don’t deserve to watch her.

Well they must know who she is as how else do they know who she is dating, you idiot?

Btw, are you saying then that is is ok to crap on you because they have no idea who you are? What a sad life you must lead.

Oh look, another child. No wonder wrestling is going down the pan with idiots out there who think it is ok to pull crap like this at shows.

No, I know nobody knows who I am, unlike this chick.

This is why no-one takes you guys seriously. All you do is regurgitate reddit/4chan buzzwords.

Per-Atz-zo.

Pretty easy, and three syllables, so perfect for chanting.
what?

Lmfao that’s priceless
Will Henderson

that’s what happens when the internet helps make non-kayfabe private wrestling relationships be public. it opens female wrestlers to getting disrespected by the fans as they chant for their lovers and not them.

the worst example of that is that night after WrestleMania 31 where the chants chanted “You suck (boyfriend’s name) at the women during a six woman tag match on Raw (which of course was AJ Lee’s retirement match).

Don’t be such a whiteknight dude , she’s not gonna read your comment

Well maybe she should have a better wrestling name so fans can even cheer fo her, i don´t even know how you pronounce that wierd ass name of hers, but that’s like a trend nowadays for westlers, just use your real name no matter how lame it sounds, or you can always come up with something worst like Hideo or Finn

Why should she? Just because you and a bunch of fans are ignorant does not mean a performer deserves to be disrespected while they wrestle, especially if they are talented.

Or maybe you think people should come to the place you work and take a crap on you because they have no idea who you are.
Mickey Thompson

Well, considering I’ve never heard of her, and the villian is super-over, she should expect it.
