Damien Sandow Hasn’t Shut the Door Completely on Wrestling, Discusses Meeting Elias

– As previously reported, Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed former WWE Superstar Damien Sandow. Below are some additional highlights from the interview (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Damien Sandow on the status of his wrestling career: “Right now I’m really just trying to focus on acting but that doesn’t mean I’m never going to step in a ring again because let’s face it, everyone says ‘I’m done, I’m done’ and everyone comes back and I’m just not going to be that guy. What if I do get an itch some day? I don’t want to niche myself into saying ‘I’m just an actor.’ No, I’m me. I’m trying acting and digging it but that doesn’t mean I’m going to deny my past.”

Damien Sandow on his WWE career: “I don’t harbor feelings of ‘Oh this should have happened.’ No. Whatever happened, happened. That’s the way it is. Hey, good luck, thank you very much and it’s just time to move on. You can’t direct all of this emotion into either a business or individuals and think ‘Oh they should have done this’ because you’ll just eat yourself up over it and it’s not worth it to me. I’m having way more fun now and my life is way more bizarre now than when I was wrestling.”

Damien Sandow on meeting Elias and their resemblance: “That’s so funny and I met him once. I think I was in the Performance Center and he said ‘Everyone says I look like you’ and I said ‘Well I hope you can do better with it than me.’ From what I’ve seen of him, and I don’t watch the product that much, he really is talented and I’m really happy for him.”
