Priest seems like a really cool dude to be around, and he's a hell of a talent for WWE
Yes I thought that also
Priest is one of my favorite wrestlers.
Total package.
His vignette for “Clash at the Castle” is one of WWE’s best ever.
I hope Triple H bring back 90s wrestling and 2000s as well because today’s wrestling feels like it is coming back
I love hearing his interviews! He gives the best answers and he really draws you in to the conversation! Love you Damian Priest!
Priest deserves a successful cash in!
on who ?
Drew McIntyre wins the WHC Night One with the help of Judgement Day, Cody Rhodes wins the WWE Championship Night 2 with Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and (in a twist that realistically a lot of people will see coming) The Rock’s help.
Damien will disagree on the following RAW with Judgment Day’s decision to recruit Drew and later in the main event when Judgement Day attacks Cody from behind (as they often do) they’ll try to convince Damien to cash in on him… only for Damien to attack Drew from behind with the briefcase, and with help from R-Truth (who helps Priest despite the Judgment Day attacking him because Damien was always the nicest) wins the WHC, starting a Judgment Day Civil War storyline for the WHC on RAW, and leaving Cody to defend the WWE title on Smackdown.
@@BucioTheZenith or how about they sucker Drew in, help him win, and immediately after the win Priest cashes in.
Yup
@@williamkramer9731 Honestly, if they plan on Priest becoming a mega heel, then they should have him cash in at mania itself and cost drew his fan moment.
If they want him to turn face this year, then do it on the RAW after
I’ve heard him in interviews before. But this one made me a fan of him.
Give him a few more years and Priest is gonna fill those Edge and Taker spots weve been missing.
A few more years he'll almost be 50 lol
He won’t fill that Taker spot, lol
lol what?
maybe just edge
What? lol taker is a once in a life time talent. Who took a goofy gimmick and made it the greatest gimmick of all time.
Awesome promo for NHPW! Well deserved too, they put on great shows.
I buy two tickets today after that press conference
Damian Deserves to cash in and become champion he has been working hard
Great interview again!
This guy, has had the BEST interviews the last few weeks.
It was the best display ever in 🇵🇷 you are something special bro 😎
The attitude era is one of one. Yall might can do ruthless aggression pt 2 🤣
Luv the interview❤️
Going to be great watching Judgement Day and Rhea 💪🖤💜
It's not quite there, but it's getting closer and it's great to see.
My favorite wrestler! 🇵🇷
Puerto rico 🇵🇷
I can’t wait for Damian to be champion, so happy he getting so much recognition❤❤
He amkes a good point about Social Media spoiling everything. As a kid, i always hated the one fan in the Arena with a "Welcome Back Jericho" sign at a show where (for example) Chris Jericho makes a surprise return. Its just him flexing that he read the blogs and backstage rumors and reports and spsiled the surprise for himself and anyone who sees him holding up that sign. Now you hear rumors of Orton and possibly a CM Punk signing heading into Survivor Series and youre left with "i wonder which one will be true" rather than having your mind blown that it happened in real time.
It would be amazing if Damian Priest cashed in on the winner of the main event and took the championship to the Judgment Day!
Yoo I was just thinking about this the other day after the press conference lol it would be crazy after the match which is gonna be a war Priest comes running out and cashed in
Judgement Day getting all that gold. I think after he cashes in and pins the winner of that match. He’s gonna turn the color of the Undisputed Championship black and purple to be Judgement Day themed
If people would stop interfering. I want to see him with a big belt again.
Drew is going to face seth n Priest is going to face Drew
His cash in will be a failure. Unless he dose it without the judgement day.
great interview
Good interview and good research 👌
It would be amazing if wwe went back to attitude era…
Just imagine how much viewerships would grow! Most true fans of attitude era fell off the viewership when it turned PG…
We are still here cheering all of you on
God Bless 🎉
It would be hilarious if there’s a R-Truth video pipe in during Elimination Chamber, where he thinks he’s in Australia but is actually in Austria. 😂
TBH I would laugh my ass off cause I get those 2 mixed up too😂😂😂
Yeah!! 💪🏽
Give that man the title!
This also proves the notion that they didn't know that CM Punk would show up following Wargames.
Damien Priest cash in at WMXL and steal the night 😅
This is a great truth! This generation has amazing talent in it!
Damian Priest is my favorite wrestler
🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
I like Damian..❤
I see Priest as a future top star like Undertaker. 🙌🏻
First time i see a Wwe superstar looking well rested without sever bulging tired eyes.
The dude has a Skeletor bust sculpture !! 💜💜💜💜
I could honestly see him going to cash in on Cody at WrestleMania and backing off, telling him to enjoy the night and he will see him at raw. 🤷🏼♂️ That would have more of an impact IMO
All Rise For The Judgement Day!
He should be world champion
I hope Truth shows up in Melbourne and be like My Bad This on Me
Truth showing up in a video in front of the sydney opera house or something would be hilarious.
I used to can't stand DP, but ever since he's had more screen time and off production things to see how he is actually like, he is much more enjoyable to see around. Same with Dom & Rhea as well.
He's so rigth . suprise is getting rarer in Wwe and it's really a shame . For the past 2 years the men's title have been super predictable (gunther roman and even seth ) .
Judgment day becoming a family 😢🖤
I really hate that the WWE is completely forgetting about Damian Priest’s MITB contract
I think they want us to forget. So that we don't see it coming when he finally shows up to cash in.
@@leorusgrundy5364i think it will be Drew vs Seth at wrestlemania and Damian will cash in and win it and give seth time off for surgery or to recover from his knee injury
Yeah man, cant believe they gave him his own design of it and it being his whole character now and is always brought up. UGGGHHHHH
He needs some momentum first but all the contenders (Drew, Sami, Cody) all have more momentum. I think we hold off until the deadline and he cashes in on Sami or Punk if they beat Drew for it.
I absolutely assure you that they haven't.
Skeletor!!!
Thanks to my boi la knight
Priests needs to cash in at Wrestlemania this year
That might be the plan
Time for creative to start booking Priest as a powerful and fearsome unit. To build momentum so that itll be awesome the moment he cashes in.
It's definitely the most interesting since the attitude Era. But the attitude Era was more mainstream.
Yea imagine that it was more mainstream WITHOUT social media
@@theworldisimmense It was the cool thing to watch back then. Now a days it's a guilty pleasure.
This is a top interview mate from sydney Australia sending nothing but love to my western Australian 🇦🇺 battlers ELIMINATION CHAMBER WILL BE AWESOME DO AUSTRALIA PROUD PERTH and damien priest he is my favourite in the new generation and come on rheaaa destroy nia jax
Big fan of this guy from India he was the one I always bet my money on there were others like riddle , keith lee , karrion kross and others who were initially booked better than him but he proved everyone wrong and now is the most successful from the batch of 2019-2021 Nxt he is the hardest wokrer always looking to improve his craft and also is friendly and has a pretty good image backstage
I wouldn't say all that but it is interesting
Damien is so cute 🥰❤
The renaissance era
That attitude era was a lightening in a bottle. I doubt wrestling will ever see talents like rock and Austin ever again. Those 2 crossed over into the mainstream and were huge. Rock was on music videos and Austin was extremely huge on skits. Can’t see any current talent being in music videos or connect with the mainstream.
Love you Guys n Gals 😂
When I see this man I just see Xerxes I see him playing him in 300 it would be easy for him to be here for Halloween.
Cash in on Seth
It doesn't feel like the Attitude Era since WWF had insanely over acts at the time like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock at the peak of his wrestling career, DX, Undertaker, Kane, Mankind, Hardy Boys, Sable, and on and on. Even their midcard acts like The Godfather, D'Lo Brown, Al Snow, Val Venis, etc., were over. Additionally, you had 8-10 million people watching back then. There'll never be another Attitude Era, sadly. WWE doesn't have that cool vibe that it did back then. I'll say, though, this is the hottest they've been in a real long time. Maybe if they keep getting a little edgier like during that WM Kickoff show, I'll watch on a weekly basis.
I don't know bro, I doubt they'll reach that level. Like you said, they had an abundance of over CHARACTERS.
Now a days there's barely any to speak of. Most Wrestlers now a days have no gimmick and can't work the mic. It's like if superheroes were replaced by little regular people.
Bray was one the last of the throwback wrestlers 😔 Sadly he's gone now.
It's been mid carder era for nearly 20 years. It ain't changing anytime soon
Double check
R truth in Australia
Damien priest reminds me of Roman Reigns little brother
I don't really find that social media has taken from it ... mostly because what you read is usually just something by someone with a keyboard, not an expert. I will say this about social media is that it hasn't really made a great difference in the fans. We see clips of them as parents, granting wishes, going back to neighbourhoods etc but it doesn't stop us from getting right back into it when we watch wrestling.
Need about 5-6 million more viewers for it to feel like the Attitude Era there, bub. I’m not saying that period was the second coming of Jesus Christ, but the product and wrestling as a whole was still MUCH more hotter and must-see than now.
Money in the Bank should happen AT WrestleMania, not its own PPV. It also would mean more of the roster gets a spot on the Mania card, considering they always love to bring in has-beens and celebrities to take spots from the guys & girls that work year round.
I did not know that priest was 41 😮. He looks at most 31-35. I thought he was like 28 tbh.
Man now if Damian cashed in on Cody at mania after he wins!!! Yo lmaooo
Damien, please don't cash in on Drew if he wins. He deserve his moments in front of the crowds. You can cash in later and still win the World HeavyWeight Champion or Undisputed Universal Champion.
I love how he called Puerto Rico, Priest’s home COUNTRY 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
it's a U.S. territory
@@OmegaSaiyan92 yeah that’s the point…. I love how he called Puerto Rico a country bc I’m of the belief that it deserves to be a sovereign nation, free of colonial ties to the United States 🤷🏽♂️
he's part Native American
@@chefsalgadobxgood luck
Never error and non-human error and human error
It will never be near the epicness of the Attitude Era
Kudos to the interviewer for knowimg his stuff but not sounding like a mark
If Cody does end up winning the Universal Championship I hope Damian Priest Cashes in on him right away LOL🙏🙏
Nope whc cash ins only lol
It would be a good way to continue codys story
F Cody's dumb story
LMAO that will be amazing tho since Cody's story is getting hands on it and Damian hits him with the
"You got your hands on it now gtfo" 😂😂😂😂
@Your_TribalChief That would be absolutely amazing LMAO!!
everyone always jabbing at Romans attendance 😂
Love The Judgement Day , Damian, Fin & Rhea , but Hate Dominik Mysterio character. Could care less about JD. R.Truth in Judgement Day is Hilarious as well. Lol
Totally agree with you.I do like that Dom he has cojones & is a pest but can't stand that he sucks as a wrestler, same with JD....
I want it to be fun n cool
Damnien Priest needs to break out for a solo career! He has that quality superstar demeanour about him
Not even close you wish it was those days are gone
Damian Priest may cash in against Roman Reigns. That would be Damian Priest v. Cody Rhodes, and The Rock v. Roman Reigns could happen without the belt. It would still a main event with or without the belt.
Host: "Your home country... Puerto Rico"
C'mon, bro.
This current WWE is definitely not the new Attitude Era not even close!
I never realized he came out a little sideways, lol
Make r truth a memeber now
Is he drunk Attitude era was fun
Some of it was. Some of it was just Val Venis versus the Mean Street Posse.
The real shimeka soina clinton
It's the time to cash in contract
I would love to see Damian vs the undertaker at wrestlemania 41
This guy will go down in history to hold the briefcase for the longest period. Or he will completely forget about the brief. Knowing WWE he will come in after the main event
Damien haven't even cash his contract yet
Damian priest going for the longest reigning money in the bank briefcase holder in modern history😂😂😂
Why doesn't Damian cash in on the title that Gunther has?
Because Austin theory cashed in on a mid card title 2 years ago and we all know how that went
All cip out and Damian priest àka Luis Martinez
If he think the Elimitation chamber hurt just wait if he's get back in the original 1⃣
No offence but is it the camera or he didnt brush yet😅
It still feels like PG
He looks like roman reigns
Bring mami home
Why does it feel like the Attitude era again, you say? Consistency. WWE finally has some consistency again since Vince and his stupid ideas are finally gone. Papa H is great at long term story telling, layered storylines, character development, doesn't erase wrestlers' memories, and most of all, he cares about what goes in the ring.
Back in the early 2000s there was a website, of which I can’t remember the name… that had every result written out. Before the big dirt sheet wrestling tube. Didn’t care
There were several. Looked like reddit before reddit
