During a recent interview with Rick Ucchino of Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, Damien Priest was all praise for Dominik Mysterio. He said that it isn’t easy being growing up on live TV and that’s what makes him admire Dominik. Priest said that Dominik is young but wise enough to adapt and handle all the attention, as WWE is a crazy world. Damien Priest said that despite being inexperienced, Dominik has adapted himself really well in the company, which is the most intriguing part of him.
“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. 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.”
