Former WWE Superstar Damien Sandow (Aron Stevens) was Sean Waltmanās guest on the latest episode of the X-Pac 12360Ā podcast.Ā Sandow spoke with X-Pac about his acting career, his future in wrestling and much more. Here are the highlights of what he said about:
Landing his latest movie role:
āI essentially just walked into this casting directors office and it was really strange. I had about two or three previously (Hollywood Meetings) and so I kind of knew. You go in, you sit, you talk about yourself blah blah blah. Shake hands walk out the door, you know on to the next thing⦠So this guy comes walking in and he goes,ā Are you, Aron?ā I said, āYeah.ā āCongratulations youāve just been hired for your first Lions Gate movie.ā But I hadnāt auditioned yet so I go, āWhat?ā ⦠the next day I was on set which was a cool experience.ā
His future in wrestling:
ā I assure you the boots are not burnt. You know, will I ever lace them up again? Like I donāt know. And see one of the things is like Iām a very transparent person especially with the fans ⦠You know Iām not going to lie and say oh Iāll be back. You know I donāt know if Iāll be back maybe I will maybe I wonāt you know. But the one thing is I miss the interaction with the fans, I miss the crowds, and I miss being able to kind of like entertain you know. Just put these weird twists on characters I genuinely do miss that. But again where Iām at in life right now itās just kind of taken me in a different direction not to say that I wonāt end up in a ring again.ā
Who created the Damien Sandow character:
āThere is no one I respect more than Rip Rogers. You know and in terms of the mind, that man has for the business⦠In terms of like just how he lays it out in just a simplistic way. And had it not been for Rip Rogers I would have never been the intellectual savior (Damien Sandow) because he, he just taught me how to again simplify everything.ā
The backstage reaction to him creating the Miz Stunt Double character on the fly:
āI remember Tyson Kidd of all people who is a good buddy of mine and an awesome guy. He goes, āDid you just put the figure four on the invisible man when Miz did?ā I go, āYup.ā He goes, ā That was the greatest thing Iāve seen on the show (Monday Night RAW) in a long time.ā And I just said,ā Well you know what, watch next week.ā After a couple weeks like Vince( McMahon) was like, ā Well I noticed you are mimicking Miz?ā āYup.ā āDo whatever you want if it gets too overboard Iāll pull you back. And I just went, ā Okay.ā
