With a scale of 1-10 how would you rate The Sandman in these categories:

-Mic work/promos

-Personality/gimmicks

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds)

-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores)

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Light 7 for me.

Here's the thing with Sandman. Dude has probably one of the best entrance/themes of all time and actually had some good matches, but eh......he is an example of Heyman's "hiding the negatives and exposing the positives". Sandman is an example of a regular dude trying to do wrestling moves. Everything he does is sloppy and all over the place. With this in mind, it made the matches actually entertaining. Seeing this drunk ass dude flopped all over the place like a fish out of water made ECW worth the 2am watch.

Overall, he's a shytty wrestler that meant well. If you don't mark out when Enter The Sandman comes on the radio, then you have a problem .

 

[Playaz Eyez]

A shytty wrestler that was over as shyt. An ECW icon though, but I never cared much for him. I guess I liked him better than Tommy Dreamer just cause he used kendo sticks. I won't completely shyt on him like I did Tommy Dreamer and Sabu, mostly just cause I wasn't paying all that much attention to him back then.

Hardcore Hak

His feud with Carlito

Watching his 2017 entrance

 

[The Girl From Innsmouth]

I feel like if Heyman could have found an actual wrestler to do the Sandman gimmick, somebody could have made a whole lot of money. The foundations of the character aren't bad. But I'd rather go have dental work than watch the actual Sandman wrestle.

5, for nostalgia's sake and the Raven angle where he actually refused to leave his house so that he could sell the eye for a couple of months.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Mic work - 3
Personality - 6
Ring work - 2 (raven, Steve Corino...that is a slept on feud)

Overall 3

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Dope entrance, but then that damn bell has to ring

2

 

[Konnan]

1 and thats because 0 isn't an option

 

[Starboy52]

Off the strength of the Entrance and Raven/Sandman feud, I have to give him a 5

Another moment from Sandman was when he refused to leave the ring during the Vince McMahon illegitimate child angle.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Don't sleep though; sandman vs Steve Corino was dope as hell in the end of ecw days

 

[Playaz Eyez]

[Cartier Murphy]

5 mostly off entrance alone, plus he was in some entertaining angles so credit where it's due. In ring I never cared for him though.

 

[Ribbs]

A less polished Stone Cold with a higher BAC.

Introduced me to Metallica so I'll give him a five.

 

[Superkick Party]

Trash wrestler but I'd be lying if I said I didn't pop for his entrance everytime I saw it.
