NXT TakeOver - Sanity

– During an appearance on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, former WWE Superstar Big Damo (aka Killian Dain) discussed being part of SAnitY in WWE and NXT, and how WWE undervalued Eric Young. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Damo worked alongside Young in WWE “NXT” as a member of the SAnitY faction, and he told the “Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling” podcast that “there was a period” where he believes Young could have faced Shinsuke Nakamura and “probably should have won the belt.” While he thinks that Triple H “adored him and knew exactly what he brought to the table,” Damo is firm on thinking WWE “should have done something with him.”

Big Damo on WWE underrating Eric Young: “That’s me as a fan as much as a guy involved because I think EY, they vastly underrated EY. … It was a bizarre time, and then I know we turned face kind of naturally and all these things. I get it, that’s why we went more tag team-based, and then I went in the singles run and stuff instead because the crowd took to us in a different way.”

Big Damo on how SAnitY got over: “I guess because the WWE just let what happen naturally happen, the crowd just started to like us, started to dig us so we went baby[face] … But it was those two who really brought the energy, and it was actually really cool to be a part of because I noticed it slowly and slowly. I think having that big, pompous entrance made people immediately stand up and take notice and their energy, and obviously, all four of us are really good in-ring, so that helps too.”
