Although nefarious professional wrestler Damien Blackstone often cheats to win, he patriotically clobbers opponents with only domestic-made illegal objects.

“When I reach into my tights when the ref’s back is turned, you can rest assured I’m grabbing a piece of steel that was forged right here in the US of A,” Blackstone told Kayfabe News.

While Blackstone acknowledges that using a foreign object might be more typically heel-like, he confesses he just can’t bring himself to cheat with inferior foreign objects.

“If I used Chinese-made brass knuckles or something, the damn things would probably break,” he said.

“No way — if I can’t cheat patriotically, I won’t cheat at all.”

Blackstone also refuses to utilize the German suplex or the Russian legsweep.
