Damien Sandow on Who Came Up with His Stunt Double Gimmick in WWE, If We Will See Him Back in Impact Wrestling and More (Video)

April 5, 2017

As noted, former WWE star Damien Sandow, known in Impact Wrestling as Aron Rex, appeared at WrestleCon over WrestleMania weekend and revealed he is no longer with Impact Wrestling.

Dave Penzer spoke with Rex for Hannibal TV, and below are some highlights:

On his stunt double gimmick in WWE:

“It was obviously a creative decision to put me with The Miz as his stunt double, but after about two weeks I got kinda bored with it, and I was on Monday Night Raw, and I was bored, and Miz fell down and I just said ‘you know what, I’m gonna fall down too and see what happens, and it just literally kinda took off from there. There was never any direction given to me, or anything like that. I think that’s why it was so successful to be honest with you.”

If we will see him back in Impact Wrestling:

“Possibly. I’m kinda taking a little time off, and just backing away a little bit. The business has been great to me, and I would much rather adhere to the number two rule in show business, always leave them wanting more.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
