"He just got thrown right into the fire" - Damian Priest shares honest feelings about WWE RAW star
Damian Priest has shared his thoughts on Dominik Mysterio making the jump to WWE as a generational superstar.
The 25-year-old RAW star is the son of multi-time world champion Rey Mysterio. The father-son duo currently competes as a tag team on RAW. They're recognized as the first-ever father-son tag team champions in the company's history, as they held the SmackDown tag titles at one point.
Rick Ucchino of Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, asked Damian Priest to describe what he admires about Dominik. He agreed with Ucchino that it's not easy to grow up live on television and stated that he admires the way the young Mysterio has adapted in WWE.
"No it’s not [easy growing up live on TV], and that’s probably what we admire about him is that although he’s extremely young, he’s wise beyond his years as far as how he’s able to adapt and handle all this attention. This is a crazy world. WWE is a crazy, crazy world," said Priest.
He continued:
"So for him coming in and never really having the experience that a lot of us did, I mean I wrestled for so many years before I even got to the WWE and had that experience. He doesn’t have that. He just got thrown right into the fire, and he’s been able to adapt, and he’s swimming. So good for him. That’s probably the most intriguing part of it for him.” (H/T WrestleZone)
