Damien Sandow Reveals Details of Putting Together a MITB Match

– Damien Sandow recently spoke with Sports Illustrated, and shared details on how a MITB match is put together. Here are the highlights…

On It Being a Collaborative Effort: “There was a real collaboration to make the match work. That is because of the agents and the talent in the match, and I was very lucky to be in there with such pros both times I was in a Money in the Bank match. “I don’t want to name specific agents because I don’t want to leave anyone out. Being an agent is a very thankless job, but every single agent I ever worked with was constructive and awesome. As for talent, Dolph and Cesaro are the names that come to mind as awesome.”

On His MITB Matches Having No Injuries: “You have to have your ring awareness at an all-time high in a Money in the Bank match,” Sandow recalled. “Believe it or not, there were no injuries in my two Money in the Bank ladder matches. That speaks to the caliber of the men in that match. Once you start over-thinking during a Money in the Bank match, that can really hurt you. I can’t remember ever second-guessing myself atop the ladder, which is why I’ve been fairly injury-free, knock on wood.”

On Sticking to The Plan to Make The Match Work: “We always had a game plan and I did my best to stick to it,” said Sandow. “Variables always occur, whether that was changing something in the match and getting it where it needed it to be or changing based off the crowd. That comes with proper training, and there are a lot of guys up there who are properly trained.”

On His Time in WWE: “WWE was such a great part of my life, but I’m also looking forward now to my forward movement,” said Sandow. “I’m grateful for my time there, and I’m excited about my life moving forward. I miss the fans and hope they’re doing great.”
