A WWE analyst believes that a former world heavyweight champion should officially borrow one of The Undertaker's movements and incorporate him into his repertoire. Damian Priest paid tribute to The Deadman making a variation of his popular Old School movement.
Recently, Priest held Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in a triple threat fight that also included Finn Balor at the Saturday Night's Main Event event. One of the first moments of the fight showed The Archer of Infamy paying tribute to The Undertaker with a modified Old School.
The former heavyweight world champion walked down the strings, but instead of hitting Gunther's arm and shoulder, he made a crossbody. WWE Peter Rosenberg analyst thinks Priest should incorporate some of The Deadman's movements and even fight like a big man.
“I am very in favor of Damian Priest borrowing movements from the repertoire of The Undertaker, very in favor. I love that Old School does, it was incredible. I was dressed a bit like The Undertaker and, then, when her finisher applies, she is basically a great chokeslam. He made me think, 'Should Damian Priest fight more like a big man?” (16:50 – 18:02)
In addition to Old School, Damian Priest also uses a variation of chokeslam as its final movement called The South of Heaven. He even has his own version of Razor's Edge, and his first Finisher in WWE was very similar to Cross Rhodes.
The Undertaker initially did not want to appear in Wrestlemania 40
Cody Rhodes completed his story in Wrestlemania 40 with a little help, including that of The Undertaker. The Rock took control of the fight when The Deadman appeared out of nowhere and applied a chokeslam, which allowed Rhodes to defeat Roman Reigns.
In an interview in The Roommates ShowTriple H revealed Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart of the New York Knicks who initially The Phenom didn't want to be in Wrestlemania. Triple H, The Rock and many other people were needed to convince him to make a special appearance.
“When I first called him, I was insecure and said: 'I don't know, I don't think I want to do it.' I said: 'Friend, 80,000 people will absolutely go crazy!' He took time, but eventually The Rock called him, and everyone had to communicate with him to convince him, ”said Triple H.
It will be interesting to see if the member of the WWE Hall of Fame makes an appearance in Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada, next year.
