Thursday will be the most memorable day of Steve Maclin’s life.

The Impact Wrestling will be a factor on Thursday night’s episode of Impact, where he is steadily building a case to dethrone Josh Alexander and become champion. Yet it is unlikely he will have time to watch.

Maclin—whose real name is Steve Kupryk—is also getting married today to Deonna Purrazzo. The couple, two of wrestling’s emerging stars. chose Nov. 10 as their wedding day for a plethora of reasons, including that it is celebrated as the birthday of the Marine Corps. A proud veteran of the Marines, Maclin is honored to have his wedding day associated with his time serving the country, which helped shape him into the man he is today.
