– During a recent interview with The Wrestling Classic, WWE Superstar Damian Priest discussed getting advice from WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Damian Priest on receiving advice from The Undertaker: “I think the main thing my favorite thing about every piece of advice that he gives me is that he’s straight with me, even if it’s something that you don’t necessarily want to hear. He’s not going to sugarcoat anything, and I appreciate that because that’s the only way I’m actually going to get better or just achieve something else. I don’t need pats on the back. I don’t need ‘Good job.’ I need ‘Okay, it’s fine, but if you would have did this this way’ or ‘Think about it like this’ or ‘Be careful about this.'”
On The Undertaker’s advice for him: “[The advice] is basically to be yourself; turn up the volume … ‘When you’re out there, where’s this guy?’ Just simplifying things of who I am and how to present myself and what not to do. You don’t have to beg the crowd for acceptance, just be you” Priest recalled The Undertaker telling him.
Priest earned a World Heavyweight Title shot last Monday on WWE Raw after winning a Fatal 4-Way Match. He will now face Gunther at a later date.
