@@saj8 maybe it was TNA was just mediocre. Him and the Miz drew me back into wrestling in the 2010's after not watching for a decade. He was great as Sandow and Mizdow. There was much more he could've done there. But like WWE usually does they bury and misuse talent like Chad Gable,Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Claudio,Cody Rhodes back in the day, Bray Wyatt etc etc.

Sandow was a gem and should have been World Champion!!! Love this podcast!

Every Aron Stevens interview I see, he just seems like one of the nicest, down to earth wrestlers. As one other commenter said (probably numerous, actually), WWE really blew it with this guy. Sure, he's not the first they mishandled as I'm sure a lot of us can name 10 or more, but he's in the top list for me. Everything WWE threw at him, even if it was junk at first, he made it work.

Sensei Question was the reason that Aron has continued to work with Wrestling. Aron stated that he was DONE with wrestling, and had started acting on TV. NWA called, and he figured he'd just give it a chance. His friendship with Joseph "Question Mark" Hudson was cited as the reason he's still at it now. The fans LOVED Sensei Question, and let Aron really be the bad guy. So much fun.

This guy did HHH's elite snob gimmick better than him w/o valets or a stable politicking for him. Then he got buried and got over with that gimmick too. Why they wasted his talent is beyond me.

Thanks a lot guys, I didn’t get any sleep today , because I saw you upload this great episode. guys keep up the good work

17:00 - Dutch is mixing two characters here. Mr. Peanut (Planters) has always had a monocle. Mr. Pennybags (Monopoly) has never had a monocle. Due to the top hat, many people have associated one character's traits with the other, and so there's a strong belief that both characters have always had a monocle.

I loved his run with the question mark in nwa

Yes I loved that so much. I was so sad when Question Mark passed away. ? totally got over as well.

What a great show. I could listen to Dutch and Sandow for hours

Stadow and Dutch together is like water and ice. They are two peas in a pod. What a great episode. Maybe one of the best episodes ever on here.

James... you're doing AMAZING work. Thankyou

This guest is the best interview I have heard. Thanks

What you need to understand is in Kentucky. Funerals are like community get together‘s. The politicians even go to them to get votes because the communities come to them.

Aron seems like a really nice and interesting guy. I hope you do have him back on again. I could have listened to a lot more of this.

Thanks for this great interview with Aron Stevens. I've been waiting for Dutch to talk about Joseph Hudson and seeing him do it with Aron is something special. The pre-covid days of NWA were so magical, and the talents of Joseph and Aron was a huge part of that. Dutch, I hope in time you can talk more about mentoring Joseph and his early days in wrestling. I ran across some videos of you guys wrestling at the Stadium Inn and would love to hear more about those days.

Team hell no and the mizdow stuff was the funniest wrestling thing over the past 20 years! Thank you Aaron

This guy is great. Awesome attitude.

What a great interview! I really enjoyed it and love Aron Stevens. He is the main reason I keep following NWA these days.

Thank you, Sandow...

We had the starmaker 🥱, now we've had THE STAR! 😎👏👏👏👏👏

Aron is still contributing great things to the NWA as the manager of the Tag Champs!

Such a underrated talent , absolutely enjoyed his run with Cody and of course as MiZ stunt double

@1:18:40 I completely agree that WWE missed a huge opportunity with Damian. Every character was great and the man has charisma oozing out of him, and the crowds loved him.

Love this episode. Thank you guys.

Top of the day to everyone!

he was totally right about wwe not utilizing the damien sandow character to its full

Sandow and Jack swagger are theeeeee biggest missed superstars in wrestling entertainment history... Facts

Damian has improved leaps and bounds in the ring, but i’ve always been drawn to his speaking. He’s a great storyteller and i’m always intrigued to what he has to say

I really like Aron (Damien) says about talent. In a way like what Bruce likes to say about putting on a new coat of paint

I really enjoyed this episode!

1:06:04 ~ i loved mizdow also. that time they did the YMCA. 😂🤣

So cool they mentioned Trinidad, my birth country! Victor Jovica is well known there to the wrestling fans.

I watch Aron on NWA. Good company. Great old fashioned wrestling.

The best intro! Bravo!

Makes sense Aaron pinched a smidge of shtick from Bolin. Both are very entertaining 😂

Aron Stevens to Collision 🙏🏻

Best episode yet!

More Damien Sandow please!!

Great great great great great great great guest

I'm enjoying all the special guest shows. It's always interesting to know what the guest's point of view is on the wrestling news segment

Wow great show.

Good interview, it's the first one I've sat completely though. Aron is a talented wrestler, and great on the mic Yes WWE missed a great opportunity, because Aron's got everything you need in a wrestler, he can wrestle, great on the mic, he's got the look that most promotions look for A great arrogant and funny heel. 👍

Do ya'll have any links to footage from the Puerto Rico time Dutch and Damien were talking about

Even with editing it's clear Dutch is reading and responding to cues about Sandows WWE career and his "memories" of it lol

I want one of those t-shirts but I'd probably get the crap kicked out of me if I wore it around where I live. Good t-shirt but people might get the wrong idea if they don't know where the saying comes from!

Great Show!

The Damien Sandow character was SO good, and I mean the origjnal character, not the stunt double. Had they pushed him, that character could have easily been a top heel.

It was nice of Aron to invite Dutch over to NWA, but I totally don't see Dutch kissing Billy Corgan's ass one bit lol.

25:53 - this clip should go viral.

NWA is the only wrestling I watch these days. WWE and AEW is more like a dance

Gavin says : Dutch and his friend make wwe look like Sunday School!!

I liked him alot too

the friendly neighborhood "guy," lol

Savio Vega was always a favourite back in the 90’s. His war against Stone Cold was epic and i could of watched it go on forever. Damian being on here is a joy to listen to and just like everyone else i too have to say WWE wasted what they had

Sandow had everything to be a huge star. That's wwe for ya!

"autograph signing at a funeral".... even Bert Prentice wasn't that skeezy.

I love watching those old wrestling videos where you did not have a gigantic isle to dance and pose in. Where fans everywhere could reach out and grab you. Looked like those crowds would have wanted to murder heels. Imagine some heel trying to do a pose within arms reach of one of those crowds.

The WWE really dropped the ball with Sandow.

Funny Bastard Right There!

Try Fable Beard to sponsor they are in Tennessee and the best products by far

He should start his own company with mustache oil

Jovica wrestled flair in Trinidad in the 80s

I agree with that social media thing Stevens said

Lol interrogate Aaron dutch, I'm out! Then seconds later 11 lol!

Despite how WWE treated Sandow, his gimmicks was really entertaining.

Dutch never asked if the Kenny Bolin story about CM Punk throwing his briefcase down the bowling alley was true

@StarMakerBolin

Жыл бұрын

100% true. countless witnesses, including Aaron

It's sadly true that Bolin and Cornette are people who are easy to hate, even if you want to like them. I got the impression more or less first handed. Bakc then I watched a wrestling related youtuber, I was also in contact with by twitter (as "X" was called back then) and e-mail. And it's already difficult for someone who has not really a name in the wrestling industry and is not a sports journalist, to get known wrestlers or wrestling promoters on your show. But he managed to get Cornette AND Bolin for an Interview. And it was a great interview. Every seemed to have a good time they could advertise stuff they sold, which especialy Bolin did. And it looked liked they might come back to do some more episodes together. But then out of the blue Bolin and Cornette started to talk bad about that youtuber. Cornette said stuff that wasn't even true, like that youtuber lifes in his mothers house, in the basement, while the truth was that the guy had a house, wife and kids. I wrote him an e-mail asking why Cornette and Bolin started to talk BS about him if it is a work or something. He replied that he has no clue, but takes that as advertisement for his channel, but other than that he thought it was not cool. But at least it got him some subs and views, and everyone who jumped over because of that bad mouthing could find out in an instant that Cornette's and Bolin's stories about that guy are not true. IDK if it was intended to be a work, but I say even if so, it was not funny as it came without any obvious reason.

A great talent, lost in the cycle of crap that the WWE pushes

During a Wrestlemania this guy was in public .. giving homeless people money !!! Stand up guy

He should have cashed in successfully

Jungle Boy is a C list celebrities kid.

Always liked Stevens...I thought he could've been used alot more in WWE

That's why I thought tay didn't stop the match because where it

For context: these guys experiences with Puerto Rico is like doing shows in the most dangerous areas hoods of the US; simple as that.... so for everyone is Puerto Rico is NOT as crazy as they portray us

Sandow doesn't watch WWE bc he knows it just brings back memories to when he was actually somebody in the wrestling business. Now a days he could walk through the airport and not a single person would look at him.

Maybe Jungle Boy had a bad flight, or the hotel f'd up his room... granted that doesn't excuse him being a dork during a convention, but still.. i dont think he need to be getting as much heat as he is for being in a bad mood one time.
