Deonna Purrazzo has opened up about a creative pitch she made during her time in AEW that never made it to television. Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, the current ROH Women’s Pure Champion discussed both the learning curve she faced while joining AEW and the segment ideas she developed that even convinced Chelsea Green it was worth pursuing.

Purrazzo first talked about the adjustment he had to make upon arriving to AEW, explaining that going back to live television was harder than many expected. He received a big promotion early in his career, but the experience was not always pleasant.

“Now, though, I felt like going to AEW was one of those big moments where it was a change again, because TNA wasn’t live at the time. Everything was taped except the pay-per-views, and so I hadn’t had a commercial break in three years,” she said.

“So going back to live TV was really a big learning curve after I hadn’t been there for so long. Then learning the format and things like that, I felt like I was a little bit behind the ball, actually, about two years ago when I started there.”

It was during her tenure in AEW that Purrazzo came up with the segment concept she called “Purrazzo in Picture”. The idea was built around the picture-in-picture format that AEW regularly uses during commercial breaks, but was turned into a comedic vehicle for her character. He explained in detail about the pitch during the Fightful interview.

“I introduced Purrazzo into the picture. It was a mock picture-in-picture segment where we could pop my floating head on, and I could say shit about an opponent, or like a pop quiz, an AEW history question, and make it about one of the girls, and they had a problem with it, and then I could just get crushed,” she revealed.

“I was like, I don’t need to be like a serious ‘wrestler.’ I can just do ‘Purretto in the Picture.'” When I came up with this idea I ran it to Chelsea and she said, ‘Deonna, this is gold. You need to pitch it.'”

Despite Green’s enthusiasm for the idea and Purrazzo admitting that it would take his character in a similar direction to Green’s, it never aired during his AEW tenure. She is currently competing in ROH, where she holds the Women’s Pure Championship.

Deonna Purrazzo 公开了她在 AEW 期间所做的创意宣传，但从未在电视上播出。这位现任 ROH 女子纯粹冠军在接受 Fightful 的肖恩·罗斯·萨普 (Sean Ross Sapp) 采访时，讨论了她加入 AEW 时面临的学习曲线，以及她提出的细分理念，甚至让切尔西·格林 (Chelsea Green) 相信这个理念值得追求。

Purrazzo 首先谈到了她在来到 AEW 后必须做出的调整，并解释说，回到电视直播的过渡比许多人想象的要困难。她的职业生涯很早就让她经历了重大晋升，但这段经历并不总是一帆风顺。

“不过现在，我觉得去 AEW 是一个重大时刻，再次发生了这样的转变，因为当时 TNA 还没有直播。除了按次付费之外，所有内容都被录制下来，所以我已经三年没有插播广告了，”她说。

“所以，当我很久没有回到电视直播时，这是一个真正的大学习曲线。然后学习格式和类似的东西，我觉得我有点落后了，实际上，大约两年前，当我开始在那里时。”

正是在 AEW 期间，Purrazzo 提出了她称之为“Purrazzo in Picture”的细分概念。这个想法是围绕 AEW 在广告时段经常使用的画中画格式建立的，但将其转变为她的角色的喜剧载体。她在 Fightful 采访中详细介绍了这一点。

“我在 Picture 中推销了 Purrazzo。这是一个模拟的画中画片段，我们可以弹出我漂浮的头，我可以谈论对手的狗屎，或者像一个流行测验，一个 AEW 历史问题，并使它关于一个女孩，他们对此有疑问，然后我可能会被压扁，”她透露。

“我当时想，不需要像一个严肃的‘拉斯勒’。我可以做‘Purrazzo in Picture’。”当我提出这个想法时，我由切尔西运营了这个，她说，‘德安娜，那是金子。你需要推销这个。”

尽管格林对这个想法充满热情，而且普拉佐也承认这会让她的角色朝着与格林相似的方向发展，但在她在 AEW 任职期间，这个想法从未播出过。她目前正在 ROH 参加比赛，并在那里获得了女子纯粹锦标赛冠军。
