Former WWE star and pro wrestling veteran Aron Stevens spoke with Developmentally Speaking on a number of topics, including how his Damien Sandow character started in WWE.
Stevens 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.”
