6. Damien Sandow Talks About His Big Championship Match At TNA Boud For Glory 2016, Backstage Feeling In TNA
During a recent interview with Interactive Wrestling Radio, former WWE wrestler Damien Sandow (now known as Aron Rex in TNA Wrestling) talked about his big Championship match with former WWE wrestler Drew McIntyre (now known as Drew Galloway in TNA Wrestling) at Bound For Glory 2016 this Sunday. Below are the highlights:
On his Impact Grand Championship Tournament Finals Match with Drew Galloway at Bound for Glory 2016:
“Aside from the issues Drew and I have had which we’ve demonstrated, it has been exclusive to say the least… I am fully aware of what Drew is capable of. I’m fully aware of the athlete that he is. I believe he also knows what I bring to the table as well. This is a match… It is the chance to be the first at something. There will always be the “next champion” but to be the first is something that is very, very cool. You can always be the new champion but not too many opportunities come around to be the first champion. This is a way to cement your name in history and be part of something really cool. There’s three three minute rounds, there’s judges. There’s a different psychology that goes into it but it is also great.”
On the feeling backstage in TNA presently:
“You know what? We all realize what it is. When you have the talent level that the locker room has. When you have the business sense of a Billy Corgan and the direction, and what he brings to the table… He’s an extremely knowledgeable person about the wrestling industry! You forget that you’re talking to one of the biggest rockstars in the history of the world (Billy Corgan) when you’re talking about Adrian Adonis and Roddy Piper at WrestleMania 3 with him. It is cool! It is very, very cool. All of us realize where we’re at as a company. We realize what we have the opportunity to be a part of. When you combine that talent with the knowledge that’s there, not only at the management level but also the talent level, you have a bunch of guys and girls going out there to prove themselves right and to make their own way. That is going to be what sets Impact apart. And, people are already starting to talk about it. That is on us to say, “You’re exactly right” and this is we can do.”
