Sandow Debuts

*OCW Cameras cut backstage to a man, not just any man, but an intelligent man. This man goes by the name of Damien Sandow and he's here to enlighten all that he can as he prepares himself, mic in hand, to give a speech that will hopefully make you a bit smarter. Spotlight.*



[Damien Sandow] Welcome. I am the intellectual savior of the masses, Damien Sandow. Your claims to affiliation with following this sport are both false and uneducated. You all protest to being infatuated with this industry yet one glance into the sea of lies that are labeled as fans tells another story. I see right through your paper mache signs and memorabilia to the gaping hole in your unoccupied brains. You seek not the entertainment but rather enjoy the sight of men risking their lives. You're thrilled through our agony yet you yourself would never dare to embrace such a grueling atmosphere. Yet through all of this when a man chooses to advocate against those very evil beings in the crowd, that man is surrounded, enclosed with boos. Those boos are meant to eat away at him and destroy him for that which he is. Stopping all notion that it is not the fans who are at fault, but rather the superstar that has gone against some type of ethical code and sinned.



[Damien Sandow] Your ignorance of accepting only those who please your eye, I don't blame upon you. For it's been learned over the decades since your birth and is uneasily forgotten. Rest assured, I am your intellectual savior and I will cleanse you of said ignorance. Feed off of what I say, embrace it, listen to my preachings and that ignorance will slowly dissolve. It will fade away and you too can become enlightened. Gazing upon all of you I notice not one who stands out from the rest. You're all of the same breed, sticking upon each other, no individuality. That is the opposite of I, I am not in the same mixture of everyone else. I've been set apart from the others, I am unique.

*Though not very familiar with this man, his words seem not geared towards the liking of the fans so they take to booing him. However, Sandow pays no mind to them and continues.*



[Damien Sandow] Like so many other great civilizations this one too is on the downfall. Let me save you all, replenish the life of this world. Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, they all dominated the world, until their people became arrogant, lazy, and egotistical. And once they started to fall there was not one soul who could catch their fall, they crashed and burned to ashes as they went down, not in a blaze of glory, but in shame. We are on that very same path at this moment, but I am here to help. I pledge to rid you of those poor qualities that burden civilizations into submission.

*They certainly don't like Sandow's words, but there's almost an eerie quietness as the fans are kept from speaking, wanting to hear what he has to say. Damien Sandow continues, at the same pace as before.*



[Damien Sandow] However, while the essence of my true calling may be to save you people from the hardest enemy of all, I grace the OCW with my presence for more than just that sole reason. From the lack of respect between the superstars to hatred in the air, it's no secret that this is a hostile environment. I'm here to offer an alternative, more peaceful switch from the reoccurring violence. For the short time you hear me speak each show you can be relieved of watching the barbaric actions of the rest of the athletes who reside in this company. The materialistic possessions that you all seek in championship belts need to be restored to what they are truly meant to be. Allow me to explain just what a championship meant before it lost meaning.



[Damien Sandow] Championships should only be held by true champions, those who aspire to be the best and who have achieved it through true dedication. Fear not, the likes of 3rd generation superstars born into success do not deserve these fine possessions of the earth sculpted from gold. They are made for those worthy, not just anyone is qualified to become champion. It disturbs me within to observe such a waste when you see what has become of the Intercontinental Championship. All titles have fallen victim to the modern day championship hot potato in which titles are passed around more than a disgusting whore, but none more than the Intercontinental Championship. When I feast my eyes upon that belt I see not which the average person sees, I see the illumination of the true meaning to that belt. Only a fool wouldn't recognize what that title symbolizes, it's the chance for a gentleman such as myself to hold it with the highest of class. Weapons and underhanded tactics are no necessity for a man of my caliber to take that championship. If you look deep into that championship and see through its mask of irrelevancy that foul competitors unworthy of even a contract such as Daniel Bryan put on it then you see what I see. The Intercontinental Championship will one day shed itself free of those irrelevant and unworthy of it and it will take a leap of faith into my open arms. I will show the world's dying eyes the championship I've set my sights on and prove it to be as worthy as I've protested it to be. The championships fate is in my hands as I've come to realize if I am not the being to make it my duty to be responsible for restoring the championship to what it must become, there is not one other man who will do so.



[Damien Sandow] Now, if you excuse me, I have some festivities to catch up on. I will be on my way to more important matters that you wouldn't comprehend. You're welcome.

*The last sight we see is Damien Sandow smirking into the camera, staring directly into it, potentially trying to stare a whole through the viewer's heart. We then take a word from our personal commentary team here at Breakdown.*

[Jerry Lawler] What was that all about? Who is Damien Sandow? What is he talking about?

[Jim Ross] I'm not quiet sure, I've heard of Damien Sandow, he's from OCW Development territories. But what was he trying to say? It sounded like he was speaking in riddles!

[Jerry Lawler] I don't know, but I can't quite say I like what he was saying. Was he suggesting that we're of lesser intelligence than he is?

[Jim Ross] I don't know if he was, it sure sounded like it.

[Jerry Lawler] Well it's time for a commercial break, here's a word from our sponsors.
