On the most recent edition of The Gorilla Position podcast, Damien Priest would talk about his victory at NXT Takeover XXX and much more. You can find snippets of the podcast below.
Damien Priest would discuss how the ladder match at Takeover was his first ever ladder match,
“Yeah, so there was also a different kind of pressure going into that match, because I was the only one in the match that has never been in a ladder match. And I remember just to kind of warm up to the idea, I went to the PC and I asked them to put a ladder in the ring, just so I could stand on it. Just to see what it felt like and the height. Because I had so many ideas, and I’m like ‘Aw man, I’m going to destroy this match! We’re gonna go crazy!’ And then I climbed that ladder and I was like, ‘Nope!’ And I got right back down. Man, it’s scary. I’m not the biggest fan of heights, so… I know that sounds weird considering some of the things I do. But every time I go to do one of those crazy, high-risk maneuvers in the moment, instantly I regret it.”
Damien Priest discussed the homework and research he would put in,
“I didn’t watch them at the PC, so I did watch them at home. I can’t even count how many ladder matches I watched in preparation. And I got absolutely nothing out of them, because I was like, ‘These guys are just so good! They’re so good at this. I can’t do any of this!’ [laughs] And I asked tons of guestions from a lot of people that have been in ladder matches, just big brains and legends and stuff. So I think that helped.”
Damien Priest is having a stand-out 2020, and with the North American title now around his waist, the sky is really the limit.
