While speaking with Gorilla Position, The Judgement Day’s Damian Priest discussed the backstage environment in WWE pre and post-Vince McMahon as Triple H took over creative from his father-in-law.
There have been many backstage changes following McMahon’s retirement in July. Priest brought up how there’s a level of comfortableness in the locker-room nowadays, saying:
“It’s just a little bit more fluent as far as the approach. There was this idea of Mr. McMahon I think more so than it actually was. Everybody just thought that guy on TV was the guy backstage, so there’s like a nervousness to approach him and speak to him.
“I think for most there’s a comfortableness because people have worked with (Triple H) for so long. Whether it’s on the other side when they’re standing across the ring, there’s that side. He’s very much the boss, but there’s just a familiarity and a comfortableness that it’s just different – a different vibe. So, I would say that’s the biggest change we’ve felt.”
