Mercedes Martinez Hails Deonna Purrazzo As 'One Of The Best Female Wrestlers Out There'

Mercedes Martinez is full of praise for IMPACT Wrestling's Deonna Purrazzo, declaring her as one of 'the best female wresters' in the world today.

Speaking with WrestleZone, Martinez said: "Me wrestling Deonna outside of IMPACT has been a blessing. I think I wrestled her early in her career when she was brand new, maybe not even a year into the business and I was still making my name as well and from seeing her back then to seeing her now, it’s amazing what she brings to the table.

"I always said it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been in the business, it matters what you’ve done in those years. You can’t call yourself a veteran and can’t call yourself the best unless you put in the work and Deonna definitely has put in the work and has proven herself time and time again that she’s one of the best female wrestlers out there.

"Working with her at WrestlePro, just proves whether she’s a champion or not, she’s going to carry herself at a high standard and just getting in the ring with her, me being a veteran, I can learn from her as well, it’s not just her learning from me because again, it’s just bridging that gap of the new generation and the older generation, we just mesh so well and we have a good match and we adapt and Deanna’s one of those that can adapt to anything and everything that you put in front of her."
