#2 Damien Sandow/Damien Mizdow

Damien Mizdow and The Miz were Tag Team champions

It could be argued that Damien Sandow’s ‘Damien Mizdow’ persona, where he worked as The Miz’s stunt double and mirrored everything his tag partner did, came to an end at the right time when he eliminated Miz from the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31.

Still, considering how popular Sandow had become during his comedic alliance with Miz, it was hugely disappointing that he barely featured on WWE television in the year that followed.

After a brief run impersonating “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Sandow appeared primarily on Main Event and Superstars tapings for the rest of 2015 and the first half of 2016 before he was released by the company.

Whether he was a good guy or bad guy, the 2013 Money In The Bank winner consistently entertained fans throughout his time in WWE, so he is definitely a case of someone whose career was cut too short.
