Steve Maclin has a pretty sensible accolade to be proud of, but it’s not the one you might be thinking of.
Maclin is a former TNA World Champion, and he’s the current (and inaugural) TNA International Champion. He’s also been on national television for both TNA and WWE, but Maclin says his biggest accomplishment in the pro wrestling business is buying a home.
Steve Maclin spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, who asked Maclin what his most frivolous purchase as a wrestler has been. Maclin took a pretty practical approach to his answer and explained why buying his own home meant so much to him.
“I think if anything, being able to provide for my family and put a roof over our heads. Buying a house, I think would be my number one accolade,” Steve Maclin said. “Just because I grew up in apartments my whole life, just going from apartment to apartment. All my friends lived in these big houses growing up. So, it was always just something that I wanted to work towards at some point to have. And just, when [Deonna Purrazzo, his wife] and I bought this house, it was just a really cool moment.”
With a new home comes new projects…
Maclin joked that he gets tasked out to do a bunch of home renovation projects now. That also includes a laundry room that was a birthday gift to his wife.
“That was one of my gifts to my wife for her birthday. I was like, ‘What do you want?’ And she’s like, ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Would you like me to finish the laundry room?’ She’s like, ‘Sure.’ I was like, ‘Perfect, that’s an easy gift for me to give to you.’”
