Speaking on the latest edition of the Legion of RAW podcast, former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vince Russo lavished praise on former United States Champion Damian Priest.
Russo praised Priest for his look, charisma, and believability, and stated that he “sees a potential star” in the Archer Of Infamy. However, he believes that Priest is lost in the shuffle as part of The Judgement Day and needs to break away from the faction in order to realize his true potential.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what he sees in Damian Priest: “A guy that looks like something, that I would have made special and I would have done something with [is] Damian Priest. [He] looks like he could hurt you. I look at Damian Priest and I see a potential star. He’s got the size, he’s a good-looking guy. He’s actually cool, he doesn’t have to wear sunglasses inside.”
On how he would book Damian Priest: “Now they’ve got him buried in Judgment Day. I think that guy could be a standout if he were booked the proper way. He looks believable to me. I would push him, maybe something happens with Judgment Day. I would almost book him like a lone wolf, almost [Stone Cold] Austinish, where he doesn’t trust anybody anymore. So many people have screwed him over, you don’t know if he’s a friend or foe. That’s how I would book him because like I said, bro, number one, you need believability. This guy has got the size and the athleticism where I feel he could put a beating on you.”
