WrestleMania 41 Sunday was full of incredible entrances that have become a staple of the Showcase of the Immortals at this point, and that included Damian Priests epic entrance with Slayers Kerry King and now Priest has revealed how the entrance came together.
While speaking to Denise Salcedo, Damian Priest shared how his epic WrestleMania 41 entrance with Slayers Kerry King came together. He explained that initially, he was told the plan was to have Kerry King play him to the ring, and he didnt believe it at first.
However, after a conversation with Blue Meanie who mentioned he saw Kerry King at a concert and that he was excited about the idea, Damian Priest took that as an opportunity to talk to Triple H. He casually mentioned that Kerry King would love to play him to the ring, and just left it at that.
Later, Priest found out he would be hosting Slayers reunion tour, which was their first big tour in years. He was excited, but also nervous about being on stage. He worried about embarrassing himself and acting too much like a fan. When the opportunity became real, his nerves got even worse, more than before his match at WrestleMania.
Damian Priest said he loves the big entrances, the music, and the larger-than-life characters in wrestling. Thats what made him fall in love with the business. So getting to have a moment like this with Slayer and Kerry King was a dream come true, and he was happy it turned out so well.
Damian Priest duked it out with Drew McIntyre in a very brutal Sin City Street Fight at WrestleMania 41 Sunday and while he was unable to defeat The Scottish Warrior, Priests performance definitely helped him gain a lot of respect from fans and that truly mattered to Priest in the end.
