Aron Stevens Recalls the Beginning of the Damien Sandow Character

In an interview with Developmentally Speaking (via Wrestling Inc), Aron Stevens spoke about the start of his Damien Sandow character during his time in WWE. Stevens would play the character from 2010 until his release in 2016.

He said: “I was pissed off. And I was watching Rip Rogers, and I decided ‘I’m going to grow a beard, wear pink tights and whatever.’ Someone from WWE who was not qualified to be in the position they were in, but were nonetheless, said some things, evaluated me as a talent. And Dusty was pissed. He got hot. And [he was] like ‘Okay. That’s it. This is what we’re going to do.’ So we did it. And the rest is history. It’s that simple.”
