NXT Boss Triple H recently had an interview with Peter Rosenberg of ESPN’s Cheap Heat and spoke about several topics including his thoughts on former NXT North American Champion Damian Priest.
The Game had huge praise for Damian Priest and heard positives about him on all levels. Triple H said that Priest never had anyone help to get where he want and that’s a game changer for him. Here what Triple H said about Damian Priest.
“I looked at Damian Priest, I’ve seen him for years, and I thought ‘man this kid is- he’s talented. Everything I know and have heard about him, are positives on all levels. Then he came in to work with us, I remember, at a little bit of an older age right, but I was like ‘Man, this kid can get it all together.’ Triple H said “But when I met him and started working with him, I’m like ‘Man, He’s just like a sponge’, he’s just never had anyone help him get to where he needed to be. Once that light bulb started going off for him, I was like ‘This is a game changer for him’, He’s a little bit older but he’s in good shape. He’s finally getting the opportunity to put all those pieces together because he wasn’t afraid of the change and that challenge.”
