Un wrestler che ha ispirato molto Damian Priest è il compianto Scott Hall Razor Ramon.
Durante “Under the Ring”, l’ex campione degli Stati Uniti della WWE ha ricordato il due volte WWE Hall of Famer che gli ha permesso, inoltre, di usare una delle sue mosse più famose:
“[Scott Hall] è stato fantastico come personaggio, te lo dico io. Lui è uno dei miei idoli, mi ha dato consigli, si è seduto con me, ha guardato i miei match e mi ha sempre indicato gli aspetti su cui dovevo migliorare. Uno volta, però, gli ho chiesto: ‘Sarebbe bello se facessi la Razor’s Edge?’ E lui mi disse di sì”
Ricordiamo come Scott Hall, purtroppo, sia deceduto il 14 marzo 2022 a seguito di tre attacchi cardiaci due giorni prima. Hall ha lottato nel corso degli anni con la dipendenza, ma ha comunque lasciato un enorme impatto sul mondo del wrestling professionistico. Mentre era con la WWE, Hall ha vinto l’Intercontinental Championship quattro volte con il personaggio di Razor Ramon.
