Have him come out doing zombie gimmick and then after Sandman cracks him with the kendo have him drop it and go on the mic talking about "wtf not cool dude, this is a professional wrestling environment and I will be contacting my agent to file official compliant about your inappropriate behavior" and how "the zombie is what hardcore wrestling is right? you kids like this kind of thing?"
