10 Things You Didn't Know About Damien Sandow
9. He's A Former Hardcore Champion
Sandow's WWE legacy will see him remembered as primarily a comedic wrestler, albeit one who constantly threatened to transcend his place on the card due to organic fan support.
However, before becoming a mainstay on television, The Intellectual Saviour of the Masses was actually a one-time Hardcore Champion.
In the Puerto Rico-based International Wrestling Association, Sandow - then wrestling as Aaron Stevens - won the IWA Hardcore Championship from a wrestler known as Slash Venom.
He dropped the belt one day later to Jimmy Snuka Jr., better known as WWE's Deuce, or the cameraman plant who failed to properly catch Undertaker during his iconic match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV.
