DAMIAN PRIEST COMMENTS ON PAT MCAFEE'S PROMO, DAN ENGLER'S LUCKY, BEING CHARLOTTE AND MORE

Damian Priest was interviewed by Gabby LaSpisa for her podcast. He didn't mince words when asked about the Pat MacAfee situation: 

Note: I typed it up for you, removing a couple of the "likes" and clarifying slightly in brackets so it's more clear to readers.

"It sucks. Not a fan. (I'm) somebody who knows Pat, get along with him, but ... for me, that's not my taste. I don't think it helps anything. He didn't need it. So for me, I'm sure a lot of people aren't going to be happy that I said that. But in the locker room specifically, a lot of us weren't happy, and that's real. I was asked by some of the younger talent what did I think, and I thought it was bull. We're a PG show, right, but he could come in and he could throw F-bombs and say whatever he wants. For me, that's one of those things that so many other talent - even from (saying) one word - could benefit (and potentially move up the card). Instead, you take somebody who's not even here all the time and (he) gets away with saying something like that who doesn't even need it. Not gonna lie, it kind of pissed me off."
