Since capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Damian Priest’s journey has been nothing short of spectacular.
The Archer of Infamy’s rise to the top has been fueled by inspiration drawn from one of wrestling’s legends, Razor Ramon, aka Scott Hall.
In a recent interview with Wrestling’s Senior Editor Bill Apter, Priest delved into his admiration for Razor Ramon and how it has shaped his own persona in the ring.
He expressed gratitude for being likened to the iconic Bad Guy, emphasizing the honor it brings him.
“Scott Hall was clearly one of my biggest inspirations. Growing up, I was a big fan of the Razor Ramon personality. So to me, being compared to him, in any way, shape, or form is an honor,”
shared Priest.
Furthermore, Priest disclosed a pivotal moment in his career when he sought permission from Hall himself to incorporate Razor’s Edge into his arsenal. With Hall’s blessing, Priest has been devastating opponents with the move, adding another layer of homage to his wrestling repertoire.
“I use the Razor’s Edge, which I was lucky enough to ask him permission to use and he blessed me with it, yeah,”
Priest revealed during the conversation.
As the reigning champion, Priest now faces the daunting challenge of defending his title against formidable opponents like Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, both hungry for redemption after WrestleMania.
With his tenure at the helm of WWE’s heavyweight division just beginning, the wrestling world eagerly anticipates the clashes that lie ahead.
With his impressive skills and homage to his inspirations, Damian Priest’s championship reign promises to be an exciting chapter in WWE’s storied history.
As he continues to pay tribute to his idols while forging his own legacy, fans can expect nothing short of electrifying performances in the ring.
