Renee Young: Damien you have you first match this Thursday night in the King of the Ring tournament. First I would like to get your thoughts on the opportunity you have just being in the tournament to begin with.
Damien Sandow: I have been in this tournament once before Renee. I didn't have much luck then, but things have changed since then. I have become a better wrestler and I have teamed up with someone that to my surprise teaches me something new all the time about my in ring skills. I am not the same wrestler that lost in this tournament years ago. Speaking of not having much luck, if you recall, my previous stint here in EBWF I was struggling. I tried all different kinds of things to dig myself out of the hole I was in, but whatever I tried it seemed I just kept going deeper and deeper. Lacking the confidence and drive I possess now I sold out to Hardcore Pawn and actually thought wearing a rabbit's foot around my neck would bring me luck. I learned something funny about luck then. I learned that luck doesn't exist. I could sit on my butt all day long and I would never become EBWF Breakout Champion. Or I could bust my butt and work hard for it and create the opportunity that I used to win the Breakout Title. Who needs luck anyway? Not the Intellectual Savior of the unwashed masses. [Sandow smiled a confident smile.] It means a lot to be entered in to this tournament Renee. A lot of amazing superstars have won this tournament and gone on to accomplish bigger and better things. One of those guys, unfortunately, will not be The Pope.
Renee Young: Speaking of D'Angelo Dinero, I was told earlier that you have some pretty strong feelings about him. Would you care to elaborate?
Damien Sandow: Do you know what they call me Renee? They call me THE Lord of Literacy. Funny how this first round match pits The Pope against THE Lord of Literacy. [Sandow paused and chuckled a sarcastic chuckle.] But see in those names you can see the difference between him and myself. If I wanted to act like I was the most important person in the World I could simply call myself The Lord. However, I know I am not the Lord Renee. Just like Dinero is not the Pope. If he wanted to be more accurate maybe he could change his name to something like The Pope of Terrible Rapping. Or maybe even The Pope of Illiteracy. Could you imagine the buildup for that match? That has Wrestlemania main even written all over it. The Lord of Literacy versus The Pope of Illiteracy! Speaking of horrible rapping, Renee, I thought I would respond to some songs that Dinero has done. Sure not all of the songs he sings are strictly about me, but the song I wrote has everything to do with him. Are you ready? [Sandow cleared his throat.] Bear with me now, rapping is not something I usually do. I am more a fan of music that requires talent. [Sandow smiled.] Well, without further ado...
Damien Sandow: Yo, hey, yo yo
In my opinion dat dude is hella fake
He likes to say AYE Yo and things like that
Can't wait to break his face on the mat
Pope has always been the King of idiocy
I will forever be the Lord of Literacy
Pope is all bout his bling bling
While I'm bout bein' THE King of THE RING!
Damien Sandow: Now THAT was a rap if I can say so myself. [Sandow smiled and paused for a moment.] Now Renee, I don't know who your sources are, but they are very accurate. In my humbled opinion The Pope is a joke. Let me ask the masses a question. Whenever you think of The Pope what do you think of? I know when I think of The Pope I think of a righteous God fearing man. I don't think of a smooth talking, pocket picking, hug a thug! You heard me right. Sometimes the truth hurts Dinero. You think you can walk in to the EBWF and smooth talk your way to a victory over the brains of the operation? Pope, unlike me, you have a lot of learning to do here in EBWF. Forget EBWF, you have a lot of learning to do in life! I will not stand idly by and let some punk like you step in to this company and take it by storm. You have not earned that right, and you will not receive that right as long as I am here! This debut of yours will be nothing like you imagine it to be. Most new guys here in EBWF get walked in to the competition slowly. You don't have that privilege Pope. Your first match is against the current Breakout Title holder and soon to be double champion when Rodimer and I pick up the Tag Team gold!
Renee Young: Speaking of the tag team champions...
Damien Sandow: Silence Renee! I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear that you or anybody else thinks my focus is on the tag team titles. I don’t care what any of you think. I know my sole focus is on this week’s match and advancing in this prestigious tournament. The last thing I need to hear is what you are any of those dimwits in the EBWF Universe have to say about me or Brains and Brawn for that matter. Daniel took care of business against the Undertaker on Monday night and I am going to take care of The Pope tonight. We said this was going to be the year of B and B and we intend on following through with that statement!
Renee Young: Damien did you by any chance get to see what Dinero had to say to you about your upcoming match?
Damien Sandow: Did I get to see what he said? Yes. Did I understand a word he said? Oy vey! Even with my hard earned college degree and my illustrious smarts, I had no idea what that guy was saying. I had to keep watching what he said over and over again to even make out half of what he had to say to me. Here is what I took from what he had to say. “Yo, Aye babyguuuuurl. Let me rap a terrible rap. I’m going to beat you Sandow!” Also, I am pretty sure I was called a “busta” and at one point may have been called a ho. It was pathetic. The saddest part was those were just the words I heard. I could have walked in to my match with The Pope with a little bit of respect if it ended there. Unfortunately it didn’t. There were also the images we got to see. Oh the stereotypes or strong with this one. Standing around in wife beaters and sagging jeans? Pulling out your unregistered and probably stolen guns and flashing them to the camera like you are some hot shot “ballers.” And the worst part? Assaulting a kind man who was standing up for his young sister. So what? His sister didn’t want to be assaulted and harassed by some ignoramuses on a porch? [In a sarcastic voice.] How dare she! Let’s make an example out of her by beating down her brother. Well Pope, where you come from that might be called justice. But where I come from that is called assault, and you sir belong in jail! [Sandow paused to collect himself.] But none of that matters. What does matter is come Thursday I will do a favor for that “gurl” and her homie brother. I will give you a shot to the jaw and permanently shut you up with Hard Luck! You’re Welcome!
