The various gimmicks of Damien Sandow

The sad part about this entry is that no matter how lame a gimmick Sandow was given, he always made it work. He always had the natural charisma and the talent to pull it off. While he may not have been a main event player yet, he was definitely a strong contender for a mid-card title role. Each one of his gimmicks had a strong chance of succeeding but were never quite given the proper booking and even changed randomly.

The 'Intellectual Savior' was actually a pretty decent gimmick and it got him good heel response, but, all of his storylines were short lived and abruptly discontinued. The angle with DX could have helped; his run with the Miz wasn't supposed to be anything above average but surprisingly turned out to be quite entertaining. Ultimately though, no matter how good you are, talent can only take you so far if the management has absolutely no faith in you.
