Damien Sandow said he was gonna change THE VERY FOUNDATION OF THIS BUSINESS.
He's someone to keep in mind when evaluating whether guys the internet likes should actually get a big push. The internet legitimately wanted this guy to get a big push because he was getting pops with the Mizdow stunt double gimmick.
He was getting good reactions waaaaaay before the Mizdow gimmick. Also, there's a difference in getting a big push vs simply taking advantage of a guys momentum. Nobody was asking for a Sandow World title reign. But that was definitely a sink or swim moment and Sandow absolutely drowned. When you leave the WWE, you're supposed to revamp yourself, get focused, and feel like you're a new man. Sandow did not a single thing, and just showed up in TNA like the average disgruntled former WWE guy like he was supposed to be a big deal, and completely flopped.
